Description
Three color 6 3/4″ x 10″ ad that details a trip aboard the California Zephyr on the way to San Francisco. The headline begins “To California – aboard the most talked-about train in the country” and is followed by eight pictures that show the trip step-by-step. The first picture, of course, is waving good-bye as she is ready to board her car. Next a picture of this lady sitting in her seat watching the landscape pass before going to get food in the dining car. Follow this with time in the Observation Lounge Car before going to one of the five Vista-Domes to get a spectacular view of the passing scenery. The next picture shows the passing Colorado Rockies before going to the Buffet Lounge Car to wind down with a drink or two with the new friends you have met. The last picture shows this train crossing the High Sierra and winding down Feather River Canyon. The text calls this “The most popular train between Chicago and Oakland-San Francisco via Denver and Salt Lake City”.
