This Northwest Orient poster pairs a pagoda with a globe on which the airline's route to the Orient is traced, under the heading "China - The Overland Route." The globe is the key to the message: rather than island-hopping across the open Pacific, Northwest flew a northern great-circle path that bent toward Asia over land, a shorter way across the curve of the earth. The pagoda gives the destination its unmistakable character while the globe explains how the airline would get you there. It is a fascinating piece of route advertising from the airline whose very name promised a link to the Orient.

The Gildan 2000, made with 100% U.S. cotton and the latest breakthrough in soft cotton technology, the Gildan Ultra Cotton family has been remastered for improved printability, quality, and comfort you can see and feel.
