This little item was recently unearthed by Michael J. Martens of Portland, Ore., and sent PDD’s way via Jess Koski.

It’s an easy two-day 971-mile drive from Pittsburgh.

I like the juxtaposition of “steamship or plane” … what year do you think this was? I love that steamship was just as likely as plane or “motor.”

I enjoy motoring on excellent highways, myself.

I’m not sure of the exact date this particular piece of propaganda was published, but Duluth tended to be billed as a “Hay-fever Haven” and “Air-conditioned City” in the late 1930s and early 1940s.
