Not the most romantic of ads but it gets the information across that one can go visiting via train for the Thanksgiving holiday in an affordable manner. In the midst of the Great Depression, keying on the 2 cents per mile aspect of the trip helped win over many consumers, I'd think. And though the Fox Cities did not suffer as badly as other parts of the nation, value definitely sells and I'm sure the Soo Line benefited greatly from this promotion.
