This great World War II era Vintage Ad was printed in a 1944 issue. These are wonderful advertisements, and we only have a limited number available.
Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
“Dis pella something belong wuh-name?”
“What’s this?” Joe’s asking.
"Paw-paw! " says the native, naming
the fruit of the tropical tree.
It'8 Melanesian Pidgin-English that
they're speaking, a "language" described
in the War Department's
Pocket Guide to New Guinea as:
". . . a mixture of words from English, native
tongues, Chinese, Malay, German and other
languages put together with a minimum of
grammar and liberally sprinkled with the salty
oaths of early sailormen."
Joe's pretty good at pidgin, thanks to the 19 pages
of common words and phrases in the Pocket Guides
issued to his outfit. And it's lucky that he is, for, as
those Guides say, it's the custom of the country to
use Pidgin-English:
". . . not only between whites and natives, but
also between natives who speak . . . many different
little local languages and dialects."
That’s something new – one of
many foreign customs our boys
learn as they keep on the move.
There’s an American custom
that’s just as new to many boys
whom war keeps on the move before they go abroad.
It's our custom of traveling in comfort-which troops
in training do at the rate of 30,000 every night.
The thrill of going Pullman is new to lots of those
boys now. But no newer to them than it will be to
you when you step aboard two new-type cars that
Pullman plans to operate when the war is over.
The duplex-roomette is one-a car in which you'll
have a completely equipped private room for little,
if any, more than a lower berth costs now.
The coach-sleeper is the other-a car in which
Pullman comfort and convenience will be yours for
less than the present rate for a berth in either standard
or tourist sleeping cars.
When Pullman introduces these new cars, you’ll
get a new conception of the comfort that has made
going Pullman the custom of the country.
Now’s the time to buy another war bond!
Pullman
For more than 80 years, the greatest name in passenger transportatio

You pick your frame color, and you pick your mat color. We will mat and frame your Vintage Ad per your request and send it to you promptly. All you have to do is remove it from the box and hang it on the wall in your home, office, garage, man cave, or showroom!
We mat and frame original, vintage magazine ads...they are in good condition, but may not be perfect as they are many decades old. Frame outside dimensions are 15" x 12", and matted ad is approximately 9-5/8" x 6-5/8" (could be slightly different, depending on ad).
Frames and vintage ads are actual as shown, and mat is computer generated for online viewing. Actual mat is custom cut for each individual ad and mat color will be similar to the colors shown on the website. “Travel Route 3 Scan” watermark is placed on the ad for online viewing only, and is not part of the final product.
