Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Safety is a far greater problem now!
Maybe you remember scenes like the one above when
the “horseless carriage” was just appearing on our
roads and streets. You may remember, too, how careful
drivers were and how everyone took precautions to avoid
accidents with the wonderful new machines.
Automobile safety was important then, but it is far
more so now. This is because the modern car is such a
sensitive and powerful machine . . . and because today
our streets and highways are crowded with over 58 million
registered motor vehicles. Furthermore, most city
streets were laid out when horse-drawn vehicles were the
principal means of transportation.
Safe motoring is vital all year if the toll of lives from
motor vehicle accidents is to be reduced. That toll
amounts to more than 36,000 fatalities a year.
During the summer, motorists on weekend outings or
long distance touring are especially tempted to be careless.
Such drivers are frequently in a hurry to reach their
destinations, and often try to crowd too much mileage
into too little time.
This get-there-quick urge may lead to dangerous situations
. . . and rob motoring of its fun. So, before you get
behind the wheel this summer, would it not be a good
idea to take a look at your driving habits? Here is a quiz
that you can take. Your score may determine how safe
you, your family and others on the road will be.
Every time you take the wheel . . . remind yourself that your driving is, at the moment, your most
important responsibility. Then you will be a better driver, a safer driver. Most importantly, you
will be doing your part to make our streets and highways less hazardous for everyone.

A great Vintage Ad!
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.
