Framed Vintage Advertising for Prompt Messenger Service by Western Union
Framed Vintage Advertising for Prompt Messenger Service by Western Union (glass broken)
The image is a vintage advertisement for Western Union's "Prompt Messenger Service," which was also promoted as "The Nation's Errand Boy." This service was part of the company's early business of communication and delivery, where uniformed messengers would deliver telegrams and run errands for customers. The poster itself likely dates from the mid-20th century, a period when Western Union was known for its telegram and delivery services. While the company no longer offers these services, it is now primarily a financial services and money transfer company
