"The wise bird flies" was TWA's pitch for Sky-Tourist, its new economy coach service coast to coast, and this 1952 poster delivers it with a cartoon owl in a plaid travel cap — the map of the United States reflected in one big yellow eye — holding a sign for "TWA's Economy Sky-Tourist Service." A printer's code on the poster confirms the 1952 date; the artist is not recorded. Coach fares like these helped open air travel to ordinary American families in the 1950s.
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.
