Here’s a beautiful piece of on-board stationery that I photographed at the Minnesota History Center. While the front cover, shown below, looks plain, it unfolds to reveal a brightly colored lithograph of Lower Yellowstone Falls and canyon. This is a bit of a surprise as NP rarely used colored pictures in its advertising.

The back cover advertises that “There is a friendly spirit on this train” and “a journey on the North Coast Limited is something to be anticipated happily.” The back cover also lists A.B. Smith as the passenger traffic manager. He held this position until 1927, so this stationery is from that year or earlier.
