for THIS Veteran
But look at its service record! Thousands of Greyhound
buses serving in the battle of transportation have done a
tremendous job since Pearl Harbor and they've piled
up a lot of points . . .
Serving out-of-the-way military camps . . . Taking part
in vital military movements . . . Taking men directly
to their homes on precious furloughs . . . Serving many
military hospitals where no other transportation is avail
able . . . Getting workers to and from war factories.
These Super-Coaches have earned their points . . . but there's
no discharge in sight
The months ahead will continue to make great demands on
transportation. You can help us meet this crisis by planning
your travel wisely. Arrange your trips in advance . . . get
your tickets early . . . avoid week-end crowds.
In the days to come we'll have finer coaches, better service, to
give you more luxurious highway travel than ever before.
Greyhound i proud of
the many men and wo
men in its service who
are wearing this World
War II Service Emblem.
