Today is the birthday celebration of George Washington. Washington was said to be "First in War, First in Peace and First in the Hearts of His Countrymen."
My wife purchased this old ad, from a 1930s Life Magazine from the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway. The C&O often billed itself as "George Washington's Railroad" as one of the predecessor companies, a canal company was chartered by our first President. Never to miss an opportunity, the ad also reminds the traveling public of the "fully air conditioned" train The George Washington with daily departures from both Cincinnati and Washington, D.C., with connections to Louisville and Newport News.
