Maple Leaf tours were unescorted, most-expense included tours offered by CN from various origins. We’ve previously seen 1961 tour booklets for Chicago and New York and a 1964 booklet for Montreal. The New York booklet has the same cover as … Continue reading
Like yesterday’s item, this is a brochure, not a booklet. It is filled with color photos, including three of CN’s Super Continental, but the cover photo is simply not as dramatic as black-and-white photos used on earlier booklets. In addition, … Continue reading
A few days ago, I chided a 1952 Canadian National booklet for calling Canada’s eastern provinces the “provinces by the sea” when British Columbia (among other Canadian provinces) is also by the sea. This 1959 publication corrects that, referring to … Continue reading
Of the four main Alaska ports of call for the Prince George and other inside passage steamships, Wrangell was second-smallest, but much less interesting to most tourists than the smallest, Skagway, as the latter was the Gateway to the Yukon … Continue reading

The two color photos on the cover of this booklet are joined by a third one on page 9. For the most part, however, this booklet still uses black-and-white photos and unsigned color illustrations of tourists and scenery in the … Continue reading
“French Canada,” says this 1948 booklet, is “where old and new worlds meet,” apparently because it was settled before British Canada and clung to its traditions after being taken over by the British. This theme is similar to the one … Continue reading
This booklet is dated 12-26, so it was printed for the 1927 travel season. We’ve already seen a 1927 booklet focusing on Jasper National Park that featured four splendid color paintings. This one is slightly disappointing as it has no … Continue reading
