United Airlines Ad

Old magazine advert for United Airlines circa 1966.

Until this morning the biggest lady Mike McCabe had ever seen was his Aunt Stella.
Sure, he’d seen pictures of Miss Liberty. In Oakland. But they didn’t show that she was so big.
Or that she was green.
Another thing Mike discovered today was the fun of flying—on a United Air Lines Jet.
First, he got a pair of Junior Pilot’s wings. Next, he and his folks watched the latest color movie on a wide screen. What about lunch? Sirloin steak, with all the trimmings. (Mike didn’t eat the asparagus.)
Suddenly, they were in New York. And then on top of the Statue of Liberty. 176 steps and an elevator ride in the sky.
Now Mike’s looking at the view, 15 miles in each direction. There is nothing like it in the world.
Mike doesn’t have a lump in his throat. He’s too young for that. All he knows is—he’s discovering America.
And United flies to more of it, more often, than any other airline.
Discover America with United’s Family Plan. 1/3 off for your wife, 2/3 off for each child. Charge it with United’s Personal Travel Credit Card.
“That’s right. 176 steps!"
fly the friendly skies of United.

PAN AM Airline Ad

Travel in style.
Dine in style.

Pan Am's big 747's have a First Class dining room upstairs - the only one in the air.
It's not just another restaurant but a very special place to dine, with the kind of food you'd expect among the stars *****. There's a full menu to chose from - the roast beef, freshly cooked, is carved at your table. And there is a selection of fine wines and liqueurs.
Like the best restaurants, you have to book early. So ask your Travel Agent to reserve your table when he books your flight across the Atlantic.
It's all part of Pan Am's World.

US Coast Guard Ad

Old magazine ad for US Coast Guard recruitment. Circa 1978.

Maybe you thought catching smugglers, stopping poachers and saving lives only happens in the movies.

Wrong. Life in the Coast Guard is a lot better than a movie. It’s the real thing. You probably already know that the Coast Guard has a unique mission of saving lives and property.  We do a lot of other unique things, too.  We’re law enforcement officers, patrolling thousands of mile of America’s coastlines, on the lookout for narcotics smugglers.
We protect our national resources, keeping our new 200 mile fishery conservation zone from “poachers” who illegally fish our waters. These are big jobs, important jobs to our country and to the men and women who perform them.  So are the other things we do. Working to prevent pollution of our waterways and coasts. Maintaining the lights and markers that guide ships. Promoting safety in recreational boating.

Helping others is helping yourself.

It’s not all hard work, though there’s plenty of that. In the Coast Guard, when your job is done and you’re off duty, your time is your own. You can get out of your uniform and into your own thing. The pay check you get (over $400 a month after basic training) goes a lot further. We pay for your uniforms, medical and dental care, and when quarters aren’t available, we provide an allowance for housing and meals. So most of your pay is yours to keep – or save towards a new car, stereo equipment, even college. And because we’re smaller than the other military services, your chances of being recognized are greater. Good performance earns rewards. Which means a bigger paycheck, a bigger job and a brighter future. It all adds up to something pretty exceptional. A meaningful job, with an exciting lifestyle attached. If you would like to be involved, see your local recruiter or call us toll free (800) 424-8883. Or send us the coupon below for more information.

Responsible.
“It’s like the way a baby grows. It’s a child, then a teenager, then a man. It all comes with responsibility. You’ve got to prove yourself every step of the way. That’s the way the Army is. They’ll give you a piece of equipment, train you, and say, ‘You are responsible’. If you’re good and you knpw ypur job, you’ll move up and get more. Right now I’m a senior gunner in a Chaparral Missile section. And every guy on this section is responsible for the other guy. That can make you an adult quickly. Responsibility feels like – it feels like strength.” SGT Calvin Farrell, Schwabach, Germany
