A very good site containing old Advertising

I found a very good site that contains a lot of old advertising information - it has transportation with a subdivision for Railroading. WW II info, and a lot of other useful information including images. Could be used for research, or possibly to print the images and use on a model RR.

This is the main link:

This link is for Transportation:

Enjoy.

Don, great link to historical advertisements. There is a great one from a 1954 Santa Fe Super Chief, it advertises an extra fare for only $7.50 and only 39 1/2 hours from Chicago to LA… .one night, en route westbound.

I am adding that link to my prototype railroad research tab of my Internet favorites.

Thanks for sharing,

Ryan
