A fascinating, perfect example of a "logical" but in reality absurd transference of experience from a familiar technology (streetcars) to a new technology (planes).
This cartoon appeard just 7 years before the first Blue Bird school bus, built in 1927. Central States Bus Sales, Inc., is a distributor for a number of commercial bus manufacturers including ElDorado National, Champion Bus, General Coach, Goshen Coach, Accubuilt mobility and shuttle vans, and Braun ADA vans; and we have been a distributor for Blue Bird school buses for over 30 years. We offer shuttle buses for sale, transit buses for sale, school buses for sale, and bus parts for sale, as well as bus repairs, service, technical support, and warranty. We have a bus for every need – church bus, activity bus, 15-passenger van replacement, child care bus, hotel shuttle bus, buses for rent, mini buses, and handicapped accessible ADA-equipped special needs buses featuring Braun and Ricon wheelchair lifts, VHS and digital passenger monitoring systems, and occupant restraint systems. Our buses are available with gasoline, diesel, and compressed natural gas engines to maximize fuel economy. We offer financing options for both contracted and district-owned school bus fleets, allowing you to Maximize State Reimbursement, Increase Fleet Management Flexibility, Reduce Initial Investment, and Operate Newer Vehicles. Financing options include Loan/Purchase, Municipal Lease, Operating Lease, Lease/Purchase, Trac Lease, and Lease/Buy-Back programs. We operate out of four full-service locations complete with in-stock parts warehouses serving five states in St. Louis, Missouri; Little Rock, Arkansas; Big Rock (Chicagoland), Illinois; and Lebanon (Nashville area), Tennessee. In-stock OEM and after-market bus parts orders are shipped the same day you place your order at 1-800-825-8273. To view our complete line of new bus and used bus products, bus parts and accessories, request a quote, check recalls and service bulletins, charter a bus, meet our sales and service staff, and much, much more, visit our website at http://www.centralstatesbus.com and send us some feedback. Your input and comments would be appreciated.
"Advertising won't be hard-sought in the future. In the 21st Century it will be in your face at every turn -- in your mailbox, on walls and hoardings, on moving picture screens, and eventually arriving by the hundreds by way of some as-yet unimagined medium that will free us of the need to search for information about what to buy."
Thanks, Busnuts.
