Very good. Text and advertisements on verso. Size 17 x 22.25 Inches. This is a 1945 Railway Express Agency (REA) map of PostWar Town, U.S.A. Created to promote REA's Air Express Service, 'notes' pinned around town highlight how Air Express serves the community at large by supplying goods and services to local businesses. The local farmer, contractor, florist, department store, and movie theater all use Air Express. This allows products (including the newest movies) to be sold anywhere, even in cities without an airport. The map's verso text describes the service in the following manner: This is probably a different kind of map than you ever saw before. It doesn't show you how to go anywhere. It isn't even a map of any real town. But don't be discouraged, or go off writing letters to Mr. Rand and Mr. McNally. Postwar Town could be your town or city. It could be in upstate Maine or New York or the foothills of the Rockies. The point is, Postwar town is populated with people whose business and personal needs demand, quite frequently, that they get something in a hurry or send something somewhere in a hurry. The Heavens CAN Help You! Now, this is an Air Express map - and if you examine it carefully you'll see how all these people use Air Express to help them in their business and daily living. For Air Express is no longer a noveltyover 1,559,495 shipments totaling 31,066,414 pounds were shipped by air in 1943, and even more in 1944. This is the method of shipping that you will be using increasingly as the air age goes on. And because Air Express is coordinated with Railway Express Agency service, towns without airports can still get the benefit of 3 mile-a-minute air speed on the long stretches. Three hundred and seventy-five cities in this country now receive direct air service, and this number will be greatly increased at war's end. More 'Freedom of the Air' for Non-War Shipments It's true, of course, that the urgencies of war have demanded that priority shipments fly first - with non-priority shipments going on a 'space available' basis. Even in the thick of war, and on this basis, relatively few non-priority shipments have failed to find room., At the same time, it's important, and heartening, to know that the government has found it possible to make more airliner equipment available. That's why you'll see more and more dresses, fresh vegetables, flowers, and dozens of other non-priority items, flying by air. Oysters fresh with the salt of the Atlantic, posies still glistening with the dew of a California morning, will find their place beside crankshafts and cannon with increasing frequency. So instead of assuming that there's no space for your package, check first with your local Railway Express Agency office. They can tell you - or put you in touch with your local Priority Control Office, if there's any doubt. When you're shipping by air, remember that no special or extra protection is needed. Pack lightly , pack compactly , pack in small units wherever possiblethis way you conserve weight and space, lower the cost for yourself, and give the other fellow a break. Finally, to get extra speed, extra early delivery, ship when ready!

Very good. Light wear and toning along original fold lines. Text on verso. Size 18 x 12 Inches. This is a 1962 New York City Transit Authority cut-away map of the just-opened 59th Street Express subway station, part of the original program for the inaugural ceremonies of that station. One of the most frequented stations on the Lexington Avenue line, the illustration encompasses three levels, 'express' escalators, transfer ramps, and a whole world of newer, faster, transit. The Verso Text The verso text promotes the accomplishment of building the station and its many new amenities. For the first time since the line was built more than 44 years ago, passengers riding locals on the IRT Lexington Avenue line will hear the conductor announce '59th Street station - change here for the express, please'. The new service goes into effect on Nov. 15, 1962. After 44 years, the 59th Street station, fourth busiest of the 23 Lexington Avenue line stations in Manhattan, has become an express stop. Approximately 11,000,000 fares were collected at this station during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1962, an increase of about a half million fares over the 1961 period. Millions of other passengers used this station as a transfer point to and from Queens. The complex work of carving an express station out of rock some 73 feel below Lexington Avenue at 59th Street was begun on August 10, 1959. Two platforms, each 14 feet wide and 525 feet long, on the northbound and southbound sides of the existing express track, were cut out of rock. A new mezzanine was built above the new platforms, toward the 60th Street end. The BMT Lexington Avenue station, with its east-west tracks running through 60th Street, is above the new mezzanine. Above the BMT and just below the surface of Lexington Avenue, are the IRT local tracks and station. Two high-speed, 4-foot wide escalators rise 50 feet from the new express platforms to the IRT local platforms at the 59th Street end of the station. Two more high-speed escalators rise 39 feet from the new mezzanine to the IRT local platforms. Taking over three years to build, the new mezzanine and express station was finished three months sooner than the estimated contract time. Approximately 12,600 cubic yards of rock were chiseled out and removed in order to provide space to build the new structures. Over 5,920 cubic yards of concrete and 915 tons of steel went into the building of the facilities. The Lexington and 59th Street station remains one of the most heavily trafficked station in the New York City subway system. The IRT It is of note, that, at the time, while still part of the New York City Transit system, the Lexington Ave (Green) line still operated under the IRT (Interborough Rapid Transit) designation. The IRT was the original private operator of the New York City underground subway. It was established in 1902 and ran subways from 1904 to 1940, when it was acquired by the New York City Transit Authority. The original IRT lines, most of which still operate, can be distinguished as the numbered routes on the New York City subway system (1,2,3,4,5,6,7). Publication History and Census This piece was created and published by the New York City Transit Authority for the inaugural ceremonies of the 59th Street express station on Thursday, November 15, 1962. We have been unable to locate any other surviving examples making this a unique piece of New York City history.
