Description
Black and white 9 3/4″ x 14″ ad for the many places that United Air Lines can fly you. Pictured in this ad is a couple preparing to fly out, and the man has a look on his face of, disappointment, and the wife has the look of someone who is going to somewhere she really shouldn’t be going, as the ad asks, “Is your wife too busy?”. The headline just beneath that one offers “You’re going to a convention in New York? And you’ll be too busy to go shopping on Fifth Ave., or to see a Broadway show, or visit the Museum of Modern Art?”. The text then asks, “Breathes there a man with soul so dead that he hasn’t missed his wife on a business trip? So why not Be Big About It and take her along? On United Air Lines you both travel for 25% off regular Jet Coach fare with United’s new Excursion Fare Plan. And with United’s new Personal Travel Credit Card you can charge both fares. ‘New York, New York – it’s a wonderful town.’ And even more so when your wife’s there with you. See your Travel Agent or call United Air Lines for reservations. Then rush home and surprise your wife. You can tell us later how it feels to be a hero”.
