This vintage advert for the Santa Fe Railway (modern US: Railroad) shows a beautiful lady (I imagine) fastening her hair with the aid of a mirror, wearing a long evening dress or gown; there is an elegant chair nearby. Underneath is text:
California
Every Travel Luxury on The California Limited. No need to specify details. Enough to say that it is a solid Pullman train, newly built for the Santa Fe.
The finest that money could buy, but costs you nothing extra to ride on it.
Runs through the Southwest land of enchantment.
Daily service of The California Limited will be resumed late in November; until then semi-weekly. Chicago to Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. See Grand Canyon en route.
Our illustrated booklets, mailed free, will help you rightly plan a California tour. Address General Passenger Office, Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway, Chicago.
