No doubt around this great land of ours, passengers boarding the "luxurious bus" that rides like a "$10,000 limousine" are the poor keeping Greyhound in business.

I love it.

Edward Bernays got into marketing around this time frame and began to sell feelings and emotions, not really the actual product itself... this is kind of a glimpse at pre-Bernays suggestive marketing, and it's awesome.

Whoa! John Groth! His book "Studio Europe" is an amazing recount of his work for the Chicago Sun illustrating the war in Europe. He really was where the action was. Great read, with wonderful line drawings throughout.

And Syracuse NY to Portland Ore: $135! Seems a lot back the even for “luxury.” Maybe one would have to wait “for an Inheritance” after all. Great stuff as always!
