Rail trips for families advertisement

Rail trips for families advertisement

Commercial advertising in the inter-war years was frequently aimed at families, especially those living in the burgeoning bungalow suburbs around the cities. The family holiday was widely promoted as a vital ingredient in a healthy lifestyle and as a symbol of social status. As this 1930s advertisement from the New Zealand Railways Magazine illustrates, the Railways Department targeted the family travel market with special fares and packages.
