Vintage Railroad Ads

[twforeman]

I'm going to post my vintage railroad ads in a thread here. I have a good handful, so I probably won't post them all at once. Most will be Great Northern, but I have a few that are other roads.

You can click on them to see larger versions.

Here is a GN travel ad from 1952


And another from 1957

How I got fired: Convinced the boss to take out a two-page ad in Time magazine to sell more of our security circulators. Hmmm, maybe targeting the wrong audience?
