Very cool. I particularly like the ever-necessary ashtray, doubling as a water glass...gotta have those ciggies, no matter you just got your lungs blown to smithereens...

I know, although those ciggies must have been awfully good and innocence was bliss.

AWESOME FIND

that's apparently one of a series of New York Central Railroad wartime ads. I seem to have lost the scan of the "Men of Tower X" showing the switch tower and inside a troop-train. I hope you or someone finds that and shares the others in the series. Thanks!

Neat.

I concur with the comments: Thank you for posting this. For an advertisement it's amazingly informative.

I like the writing. I bet those soldiers really were so relieved and glad as they 'drank in' the miles going by on their way home at last.
