Description
Full color 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad for the fact that the entire world is at your feet when you fly with Pan American. The headline says “Pick any continent you choose” and shows a blue ribbon with six different flowers placed in front of it. There is the Tulip which is for Europe, the Protea which is for Africa, the Lotus which is for Asia, the Acacia for Australia, the Forget-Me-Not for Alaska and the Orchid which designates South America. The text continues by claiming that “Only Pan American flies to all 6″ and that “month after month, Twice as Many People fly abroad by Pan American World Airways than by all other U.S. airlines combined”. They claim to be flying the “world’s fastest and most luxurious airplanes”, mentioning the double-decked Clipper “America” and call themselves the “World’s most experienced airline”.
