1 never did this in daylight before !" Back home, he came in the house with his shoes in his hand only when he'd stayed out late-to keep from disturbing Mother and Dad. liyP \ But this is an Egyptian home. And he remembers that the War Depart . . ment's Pocket Guide to Egypt says: "Take off your shoes before enteringa room leave your socks on." That's something he's never done before-in daylight. But it's the custom of the country. There's a custom of our country, too, that's some thing many boys had never done at night before they entered service. It's the American custom of travel ing in comfort-which troops in training do at the rate of almost a million a month. So going Pullman is new to lots of them. And it will be new to you when the war is over. Then, there'll be new kinds of Pullman cars. One kind will be all rooms. Sleeping there, as you speed safely and depend ably toward your destination, you'll get a grand night's rest in a wonderfully comfortable bed. And you'll waken to your own dressing quarters-your private washing and toilet facilities. That's one of the new type cars that are coming. And Pullman plans that duplex-roomette space will cost little-if any-more than lower berths cost now. Another new type car-the coach-sleeper-will offer Pullman comfort and convenience for less than the present rate for a berth in either stand ard or tourist sleeping cars. So, when you can travel for pleasure again, Pullman will see to it that you travel in even greater comfort than you ever have before. * * * NOW'S THE TIME TO BUY ANOTHER WAR BOND! Riding in a duplex-roomette car, PUL you'll have every convenience U LL IJN that you'd have at home-with light and heat and air condition- * For more than 80 years, ing all individually controlled. the greatest name in passenger transportation
