The pictures show two views of the (2) 1943 World War II United States Army Soldier Train Ticket & Envelope in this lot. Both of these items are dated 1943. The first item is a small Pullman Company train ticket that was used by a U.S. Army Soldier on June 9th, 1943 to travel from Portland Oregon to Omaha, Nebraska. The ticket and the envelope were once loose in a Soldier's scrap book and had gotten separated from the book. The other item is an an advertising envelope from the Chicago and North Western Line that pictures a bald eagle. The back flap has ''Travel Suggestions During War Time'' and an area to fill in with travel details. The rest of the envelope is marked on the two sides as follows: 32,000 EMPLOYEES WORKING AS ONE TO HELP UNCLE SAM MOVE THE ARMS, MUNITIONS AND MEN NEEDED TO WIN CHICAGO AND NORTH WESTERN LINE WE CAN'T JUST REST ON OUR LAURELS MEN BY THE MILLIONS AND BONDS BY THE BILLIONS ARE NEEDED TO WIN THIS WAR! SO, NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU'VE INVESTED IN WAR BONDS, KEEP ON BUYING THEM REGULARLY. IT TAKES BOTH TAXES AND WAR BONDS TO WIN! CHICAGO AND NORTH WESTERN LINE A-39-43-250M To judge the sizes the closed envelope measures about 6'' x 3-1/2''. These appear to be in excellent condition with some light age discoloration on the envelope as pictured. |
