Pacific Electric Railway. Lindbergh Charles Augustus 1902 1974ABAA

SEE And WELCOME COLONEL LINDBERGH To LOS ANGELES. America's Lone Eagle - Tuesday Sept. 20

40367Los Angeles: Pacific Electric n. d. Ca. 1927. Blue and orange lettering printed on beige paper. Modest wear to edges slight age-toning to paper small chip to top left corner no losses small crease to bottom left corner. Withal a VG example. Broadside printed recto only. Blue and white photographic image of Lindbergh. 17-1/2" x 6" Colonel Charles Lindbergh made the 3600 mile trip from New York to Paris in 1927 and won instant fame as the first person in history to be in New York one day and Paris the next. From the beginning Lindbergh's fame and success introduced chaos and tragedy into the pilot's life. A very private family the Lindberghs were devastated at the kidnapping and murder of their oldest child Charles Jr. at just 2 years old. So grand was the trial that the pilot and his wife exiled themselves to England the year that the murderer was put to death. Though he steadfastly denounced "womanizing" in other pilots and men decades after his death it was found that the famous "Lone Eagle" had fathered 7 children out of wedlock with three European mistresses. As public as his private life now is the man was notoriously outspoken as an advocate of keeping the US out of world conflict as the country formally entered WWII. Nevertheless the pilot strongly supported the war effort after the attack on Pearl Harbor and flew 50 combat missions in the Pacific Theater of WWII. Lindbergh had many talents aviation being just one of them. The pilot designed a watch that would make navigation easier for pilots after his transatlantic adventure. He was also a bestselling author after his novel "WE" was introduced to the public in 1927 the same year of the flight. a very busy man and was an instant hit. In 1930 Lindbergh invented a perfusion pump known as the "Model T" to make heart surgeries possible. He strongly advocated developments in science and aviation. However he lost much of his popularity during the beginning of WWII when denouncing the United States' involvement in the war - much of his speeches being deemed anti-Semitic. This belief was not without some sound reasoning as even in his diary the pilot states that we must limit our Jewish influence. that it was too bad about a high level of Jewish percentage in the total population as reactions "invariably occur" because "a few Jews of the right type are I believe an asset to any country". Charles Lindbergh died of lymphoma in Maui in August of 1974. A few statements in regards to the publisher of this welcoming broadside - as a privately owned mass transit system Pacific Electric was probably one of the best-known and most extensive systems in the United States. This Southern California company consisted of streetcars light rail and buses - and was the largest electric railway system in the world by the 1920s. The railroad itself was created in 1901 by Henry Huntington a Vice-President of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Huntington wanted to consolidate travel in Southern California by creating a universal bus rail and trolley system where tickets could be interchangeable and therefore travel less hectic. This handbill advertises Charles Lindbergh's visit to Los Angeles on September 20 1927 as part of his 48-state tour of the country following his historic cross-Atlantic flight. The broadside includes a list of "reduced fares" to Los Angeles; information regarding the parade downtown as well as the Public Reception at the Los Angeles Coliseum at 3:30pm. 2 institutional holdings located on OCLC University of Southern CA & Yale.

Creasing no hard creases just warped to paper light wear. A VG set of copies. Two sheets printed recto only. Two large map illustrations. 2 sizes. 14" x 8-1/2" & 17" x 11" "The Ocean Shore Railroad was intended to be built from San Francisco to Santa Cruz California via a route along the Pacific coastline. Incorporated in May 1881 with construction beginning in 1905 at both ends but the line was never completed. The April 18 1906 earthquake caused major damage and delayed completion of the railroad. Trackage within the city of San Francisco was electrified while the rest of the line was operated with steam locomotives and later with self-propelled railcars. Despite significant passenger patronage especially on weekends the railroad never recovered from losses in the 1906 earthquake and failed to attract enough freight traffic to cover increasing deficits."

SOUTH MANCHURIA RAILWAY

193373809New York: The South Manchuria Railway Company 1933. A promotional piece extolling "The Progress of Manchuria" following the establishment of Manchukuo a puppet state of the Empire of Japan in northeast China and Inner Mongolia produced in conjunction with the 1933 Century of Progress International Exposition at Chicago. Established in 1906 the Japanese-owned and operated South Manchuria Railway Company or Mantetsu for short was charged with a government-like role in managing the rail transportation and urban planning after the Japanese invasion in 1931. "It is conceded by all that the rapid industrial agricultural and educational development of Manchuria during the past 28 years is chiefly due to Japanese investments and the enterprise of her industrialists and skilled technicians. In all this important work the South Manchuria Railway Company has taken the lead and it is largely through the foresight confidence and intelligence of the administration of this great artery of commerce that has made Manchuria a prosperous and peaceful land for the past twenty years. This explains why the great migration of nearly 8000000 to Manchuria took place in the last few years. Here they found a land of peace and plenty until the war lords taxed and exploited them to the limit so they declared their independence as did the Americans in 1776." This folding brochure opens to a railway map of the region which shows four sections under construction. There are also 12 photographic images highlighting Manchuria's historic sights modern infrastructure and abundant resources. Printed in color on a 12" x 18" sheet of white paper that folds to 4" x 9" 12 panels. A fine fresh example with just a hint of edgewear.
