Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad with the information that they were offering “Five Southern Pacific trains to California completely Air-Conditioned this summer”. The pair of pictures at the top indicate that you can “Go on one“ and “return on another“. The text describes the options as going along the Mexican border on either the Sunset Limited or the Golden State Limited, going straight across the continent on either the Overland Limited of the Pacific Limited or going down through the Pacific Northwest on the Cascade. The ad ad explains that a “round trip ticket” can be used to come out on one specific train and return on another so that you will view something different on each part of your journey. It also explains how you can use your Round Trip Ticket to take side trips to other points of interest and lists many choices with the names of the trains that would take you to your destination. There is more detail devoted to trains directed to San Diego and to Mexico City and gives a few examples about how much the fares have dropped in the last two years. The last paragraph urges you to “Write Mr. Bartlett” who will be able to provide you with the proper information and book the trip of your dreams.
