Great Northern put a Winold Reiss portrait of an aging Blackfeet warrior named Takes the Gun Strong (see below) on its 1943 calendar. I don’t have that calendar, but I do have a 1943 Great Northern calendar. That’s because the railway published two different calendars through the 1940s and 1950s. The Indian calendars were given to passenger agents while the other calendars were given to shippers and shipping agents.

The shippers’ calendar was much less elaborate, with a GN logo at the top, all months printed on the same page, and various slogans scattered throughout. The calendars were huge: about 26″x42″. In later years, at least, some of the calendars were printed in two sizes: 26″x42″ and a smaller 20″x26″. I suspect that paper used for printing the calendars came in 26″ rolls, so that was a convenient dimension for both sizes of calendars.
The calendar notes that April was “perfect shipping and careful handling month.” Does that mean that the railway tolerated imperfect shipping and careless handling the other eleven months? That probably wasn’t a good thing to admit, especially during wartime when the government was directing huge volumes of freight over the railroads that seemed best able to handle them.

My scanner can’t scan something this large without folding it, so I have reluctantly relied on a photograph instead. Compared with scanners, photos have problems with parallax, shadows, colors, and curling. Despite these problems, the PDF came out pretty well.
For what it’s worth, here is the Reiss painting of Takes the Gun Strong that was used on the passenger calendar. Reiss made this painting in 1936.
