Three color 6 1/4″ x 9 1/2″ wartime ad for the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad. The ad has a drawing of German Soldiers reacting in panic to explosions going on around them. The ad headline claims they are “…compliments of Milwaukee Road ‘white coal“ and the ad text explains that the term “white coal” refers to the electricity that is used to “move Milwaukee Road trains across the Rockies, Bitter Roots and Cascades”.
