Description
Full color 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their Vista-Dome Trains. The headline taunts you with a chilly font spelling out the words “Say ‘Good Bye’ to Winter” then changes to a more normal font to promise that “It’s a Pleasant Trip to Sunny California on Western Pacific’s Vista-Dome Trains“. To illustrate this statement there is a drawing of a group of people playing a round of golf on a beautiful course with a body of water in the background with boats sailing toward a long bridge. The lower picture shows a long train weaving it’s way through the scenic mountains with the Observation Deck filled with amazed passengers while the ad claims that the price of a train ride from Chicago to Sunny California was only $48.79. The text talks about celebrating the 100th birthday of California and following the “trail of the pioneers to Golden California for a vacation you’ll never forget”.
