Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad that gives a few examples about how using a Travel Agent would have changed at least one journey. There are several humorous drawings beginning with a man in glasses talking to a soldier holding a sword and sitting astride a horse and telling him, “I’m telling you, sir, it’s a rash idea”. Other captions talk about “language troubles”, a “wild convention” and “I doubt you’ll make any new friends” before the headline says “I know it’s your trip, General Custer, but as your travel agent, I’m only telling you”. The text indicates that it probably didn’t happen that way but it is a good idea to listen to travel agents since they do communicate with the forms of transportation such as American Airlines. They are aware of the good deals and will be able to keep you away from the Little Big Horn, if something nasty is brewing there.
