Milwaukee Road Supports the War

Before we totally leave the subject of World War II for awhile, we offer this trade ad from a business magazine in August of 1943, touting one of the local railroads' relationship to the military in regards to the war effort.  As industry put on a united front to aid the military, it was important to let the American public know how these bastions of big business were going to help bring the boys back home.  And if the by-product just happened to be more inclination for folks to use their particular product or service, then it was an added success besides just getting out the patriotic message. Public relations works, my friend.
