Description
Black and white 9 3/4″ x 13 1/2″ ad that is for the TraveLodge Motels. The caption that is high above the picture of the very nice TraveLodge Motel, the one that has the packed parking lot and still has the “Vacancy” sign out, says that this is “The motel for people not on big fat expense accounts”. If you want to know what you would get at a TraveLodge Motel, then here is what is there. “If you don’t want to pay extra for a lot of extras, pull into TraveLodge. (You know, the one with the bear.) We don’t have most of those things that jack up a motel bill. No golf course, no bowling alleys, no plush bar. What we do have is everything you need for a good night’s rest. (We still believe that’s what people want most after a hard day’s drive.) We give you a clean, comfortable room. With Beautyrest mattress. Television. Phone. Coffee, if you want it. Air conditioning. Our one big extra is a swimming pool. We took the plunge when we found that most people like to have them around. (A few TraveLodges, though, still don’t have pools and some people find that refreshing.) If you’re planning a trip and footing your own motel bill, write to TraveLodge, P.O. Box 306, El Cajon, California 92022 for our TraveLodge Guide. It’s free, and it lists more than 350 TraveLodges across the country”.
