"Scenic Grandeur of the West" - SPRR, c. 1942
From: "John Kellum" dragonas42@hotmail.com
I have a cover with 16 views from Southern Pacific Lines ... written in 1943 ... called Scenic Grandeur of the West. It has a price tag of 75 cents. Do you know who I could talk to about this? I would like to sell this as well.
