Here's something that I discovered in an antique shop today; an envelope that appears to have been used to offer travel insurance.
Re: Travel Insurance Envelope Hmmmm could that be a ticket envelope? Don't have one of those but it looks "ticket" size. Ship IT on the Frisco! Rick
Re: Travel Insurance Envelope It is a ticket envelope. They were very widely used, not just by the Frisco. I assume that the insurance company probably supplied them free to the railroads, though I have no factual basis for saying that. Gordon
If you go to out of country or state the insurance must be complasary because if you have any problem in the traveling then insurance company paid your expense so it is useful to you or your family.
Yes, you would go to the Traveler's insurance counter at the station and buy travel insurance per the schedule on the back of the ticket envelope, if you wanted it. You old-timers out there like me will probably remember the same set-up at airports for travel insurance before you climbed up into your old Douglas DC-3, Martin 404, Convair 440, etc flight. Ken ps: Sherrel - Did you ever fly a TWA 404? I used to like them - they flew several out of STL on shorter routes around the mid-west. I remember coming back from KC on one during frigid weather.
I remember the envelopes and the travel insurance. My mom always insisted on it. Yes, Ken, TWA had an interchange (run threw) with Delta that came to Shreveport twice a day. One was a 749a Connie and the other was a Martin 404. The 404's were gone by the time that I entered the property at KC.
