Pullman Service, 1948

I can look at this for a long time - sooooo peaceful.

Who leaves wrapped Christmas gifts sitting out in the snow?
And what's with the kid & mom? They look like the plane is making them frightened and suspicious!

depending where they live, they might not have planes flying that low normally.....and it's almost as if the gifts were tossed from the plane.....

Yes! It looks like they've been "gift-bombed"! Especially with that one boy looking like he just picked one up and is examining it with a sort of "what the heck?" expression.

I give bonus points to the illustrator for the front yard; it isn't all rosy-perfect. It looks realistic, with the gardening stuff just sitting there. But then I have to take them away again because that is nowhere near enough snow to stop people in their tracks, even in 1947.

I just grabbed a Pullman holiday ad yesterday! Talk about your transportation methods that's gone by the wayside.

Oh, that first one is amazing. The 2nd one looks like a rotten holiday in hell is underway.
