Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 3/4″ ad that is drawn to distinguish the Cunard White Star. The ad has a series of drawings that show hands at work; hands holding a tray of food, hands that are pulling a rope taut, hands that are holding the tiller straight and hands that are holding a pair of binoculars. The ad headline says “Hands that cross the sea!”. It then says “Sure hands that hold the wheel…skilled hands that turn master valves…deft hands that place a delicacy on your plate…willing hands that open a door…these are the hands that cross the sea many times a year to bring you the dependability and comfort of a Cunard White Star transatlantic voyage. Guided by a tradition more than a century old, they are the hands of officers and men…stewards and stewardesses born to pride in the standards traditional with Cunard White Star. Whether you travel in a luxurious suite or a comfortable tourist class stateroom…whether you speed across the Atlantic in one of the Queens or prefer a more leisurely voyage…yours is the assurance that you are in dependable hands all the way”.
