U.S. Circumference Tour. July 10 -- August 20 1948. Traveled by John M. Hubbard and Brad Randall Jr. caption title

19484877New York 1948. Very good. 23pp. of typescript on rectos only. Minor wear inner margins punched with two holes for storage in an album or folder. "The purpose of this Tour around the United States was to fulfill a suppressed desire to see our country while we were still young and free." So begins this original typescript of a 1948 trip around the country by two young Connecticut men John M. Hubbard and Brad Randall Jr. in a 1938 Plymouth sedan with 97130 miles "on the speedometer to start with." The text was written by Hubbard who often references Brad within the narrative. The trip took the two young men from New York City to Florida and then across the Southwest to California then eastward again over the course of just over a month in the Summer of 1948. The men mostly camped out in hammocks set up near their car. On their first day they attempted to make it to Cape Charles Maryland though they fell twenty miles short instead spending the night in a trailer park near "a squalid negro section with tumbled down houses." Their trip continues down the eastern seaboard partly by ferry to North Carolina. They spend a few days swimming fishing and staying with Brad's family in Fort Myers Florida before turning westward. Along their way westward through the "southland" of Tallahassee Mobile and New Orleans they encountered "a colored porter" at a motor lodge passed by "an occasional plantation framed in giant oaks covered with spanish moss" described the area between Mobile and New Orleans as "the Riviera of the U.S." and more. Next they visited various Texas locales on the Gulf Coast including Beaumont Houston and Galveston where they spent time golfing at River Oaks Country Club and took dates to Galveston's Turf Athletic Club "a very swanky gambling club that the Texas Rangers have been trying to raid for months." They then continued west through Texas visiting San Antonio Marfa and El Paso on their way to Tucson and Yuma Arizona. The two men reached El Centro California on July 31. They spent almost two weeks in California visiting San Diego Coronado Island Los Angeles San Francisco Berkley Sacramento and Lake Tahoe while passing through many other named cities along the way. Hubbard often provides wonderful descriptions of their various stops as well as interesting observations on locals landscapes wildlife their meals and experiences at country clubs their visits with friends and more. They also mention at least twice their attendance at the movies watching Key Largo in Houston Foreign Affairs in San Diego and an unspecified movie at Grauman's Chinese Theatre "where the movies first make their appearance.and where the stars put there sic initials and hand and foot prints on the sidewalk." While in California they also attended car races went fishing saw the world's biggest bowling alley and spent at least one day "job hunting." By mid-August Hubbard and Randall turn for home visiting a few towns in Nevada Carson City Virginia City and Reno and Utah Salt Lake City before visiting the Continental Divide at Berthoud Pass Colorado and proceeding thence to Denver. They then raced for home through Kansas Illinois Ohio West Virginia Pennsylvania and New York before Hubbard took a train to Hartford Connecticut. His mother planned to meet him there for the final leg to his home in Pomfret Connecticut. 1948 was a banner year for intrepid travelers heading out on the open highways of America -- the same year Jack Kerouac began work on his seminal Beat novel On the Road which was based on his own adventures on the American open road between 1947 and 1950. The present travel account has echoes of the freedom of Beat literature in its descriptions. Hubbard also mentions that they visited a "war buddy of Brad's" in Columbus Ohio; cross-country travel was a particular feature of the lives of war veterans in the late-1940s and 1950s as returning soldiers sought to see the country they fought so hard to defend in Europe and the South Pacific. The present travel narrative is a brief but albeit descriptive and interesting account of a cross-country jaunt by two well-to-do Connecticuters who saw a great deal of the United States in just over a month in 1948. unknown

Typed letter signed "Harry A. Franck" to Seymour Halpern "Mr. Halpern" in response to Halpern's inquiry regarding the keys to success

1931310341Aix-en-Provence France 1931. 1 p. on "Gd Hotel De La Mule Noire" letterhead. 8-1/4 x 11 inches. Old folds minor chipping to edges minor tears not affecting text else very good. 1 p. on "Gd Hotel De La Mule Noire" letterhead. 8-1/4 x 11 inches. An anecdotal letter from one of the foremost travel writers of the first half of the 20th century.Reading in part: "I have had so many exciting experiences that I really cannot think of one I should put ahead of the others. Perhaps escaping from bandits in China would be or almost drowning in a river in the Andes in South America . Personally I have found it better to do as well as I can everything that came to hand and then let circumstances show the way to go. For instance I learned several foreign languages in college without knowing until much later that they would be indispensable to the career I finally chose - or which chose me." American Harry A Franck 1881-1962 chronicled his adventurous and often dangerous treks around the world. As a high school student Seymour Halpern 1913-1997 wrote letters to many notables of the day inquiring about their ideas to the keys to success in life. He would later go on to serve as Republican from New York to the 86th 87th 88th 89th 90th 91st and 92nd United States Congresses holding office from January 3 1959 to January 3 1973.

Two Promotional Cloth Banners For Henderson Travel Service The First African America Owned Travel Service in America

51314Atlanta: Henderson Travel Service 1973. Resist-dyed images printed on rough Batik-type cloth. 22 by 15.5 inches 56 by 39 cm; 23 by 33 inches 58 by 83 cm. Two banners picturing stylized elephants zebras gazelle and a giraffe with the Henderson logo used in the early 1970s with the slogan 'Does it All' on the larger example. Fraying to edges fold lines from storage with a few small moisture stains and a small tear to the bottom right of the larger banner at the giraffe's legs else both are very good examples. An uncommon piece from a company that was flying African-American travelers overseas in an era where large parts of their own country were restricted from completely free travel. It's not clear whether these were used as in-house advertisements or given away as souvenirs to clients but they're the first we've seen. The Henderson Travel Service started in Atlanta in 1955 by Jake and Freyde Henderson is America's oldest full-service African-American owned travel agency. Henderson Travel Service began in 1955 and by 1957 they had booked their first trip for a client to travel to Ghana to celebrate the country's independence. Out of this grew a full-service agency booking trips for clients to travel abroad including Martin Luther King's trip to Oslo to accept the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. Today Henderson continues to book travel to Africa for many prominent professional and charitable organizations. Henderson Travel Service hardcover
