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.
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?
my grandfather worked at the Columbus factory of Buckeye Steel Castings for a few years...then went to Columbus auto parts for the rest of his career...
