Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad that talks to the public about how, in these times of war, it is very important to show consideration, to cancel your reservations on the Pullman cars if you are not able to make your trip. There is a drawing of a tearful lady sitting at her desk looking at a picture of her “Bill” in his Navy uniform. The text tells the story of a telegram that he sent to her about a 24-hour leave that he was getting and asking her to join him. She tells him that all planes were booked and the trains, even though the people from Pullman were working with her, were booked too. She says in her letter to Bill that she hopes that everyone who had tickets actually used them instead of wasting the space preventing people like her from getting to where they needed to go. The ad ends with a message from Pullman about how important space on a train really is with the need to travel in a timely fashion.
