"New York via Mainliner" reads this 1948 United Air Lines poster, which pairs the gleaming wing of a Douglas DC-6 with the raised torch of the Statue of Liberty against a deep navy sky. The artist is not recorded. The pressurized DC-6 had just joined United's fleet in 1947, and "Mainliner" was the airline's name for its flagship service, so the poster announces both a destination and a new, faster way to reach it. Liberty's torch, long a symbol of arrival in New York Harbor, now greeted travelers coming in by air.

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.
