Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 14″ ad that is for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. This ad says that “On Father’s Day We Present Chessie’s Old Man Father of Her Famous Kittens” and it is posted just above a very glamorous picture of a very serene cat. The ad text tells us that “A lot of folks have been wondering about “papa” ever since Chessie had her kittens. Here he is…he’s a traveling man and, of course, we found him on Chesapeake and Ohio! With his discriminating tastes, it’s only natural that he would prefer The Railroad With A Heart! And, oh yes, we almost forgot…his name is Peake!“ The ad then mentions “The George Washington, The Sportsman and The F.F.V. – America’s Most Distinguished Fleet of Trains”.
