Description
Black and white 7 1/2″ x 10 1/2″ ad for a resort that has a lot of history about it although most of it came after this ad was printed. The ad has a stately picture of the building with immense columns under a headline that announces that “A wonderful new Greenbrier will open April 19th” and the text explains that the outside is the same but each room has received individual attention from the noted Dorothy Draper. The ad has no mention of the underground bunkers or any plans to build enough secure space to house the President and anyone else that might be deemed important. Shades of Dr. Strangelove.
