Jack - I've probably seen more Burlington Route and subsidiary print advertising over the years than most BRHS members. But, these two small ads are "new" to me.

I'll speculate that the Burlington Route's passenger department sales offices scattered around the major metropolitan areas of that era had their own print advertising budgets and generated promotional materials of their own such as Ann Oliver's two cards.

For that reason, both cards are rare, if not very rare.  As to value, the two cards are worth whatever someone is willing to pay. They would primarily appeal to collectors of Burlington Route print advertising. Thanks for sharing with us - Louis

A person named Ann Oliver sent me/BRHS two image of a post card she has. She wanted to know if they were produced by the 'Q' and are they of any value to collectors. Here is her message.

I have a small card 2 3/4" x 4" with a picture of Niagara Falls and appears to be an advertisement for the Burlington Route, indicating the tickets can be purchased at the Union Overland Ticket office in San Francisco.  I can't seem to find anything like it.  Could you tell me what it is and if it is of any value.  Thanks for your time and be well.  Ann Oliver

Anyone have any knowledge about this? Her email address is: ann.oliver65@gmail.com
Thanks.
