Greyhound's name sits on this advertisement's bus, and the copy promises that the trip can be made "only by Greyhound," a claim the company pushed heavily in the 1930s and 1940s when it was building its national network of intercity routes. Bus travel was then the cheap alternative to rail and the private car, and advertisements like this one stressed reliability and comfort in all seasons. Look at the riders and the vehicle design, which show how the company presented itself to a traveling public that was growing quickly.
