Description
-
The backdrop is a solid blue metropolitan skyline on a white background. There is a small, single-engine orange prop plane flying to the left. Below the plane is a Southern Pacific Railway boxcar with an open doorway, in which is a man with grey hair wearing white attire with a black smock. In front of the boxcar is a man in brown workclothes, brown cap, leather gloves, and a black bowtie carrying a thoroughly-marked shipping package. Blurbs such as “a service of speed …for a busy world’s need” and “221,000 miles of railroad” are clearly meant to advertise the proficiency with which the agency carries out its shipments. This sense of competence and expertise is further cemented by the worker in neat uniform, placed in front of two transportation vehicles, a plane and a train.
