The Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela is a centuries old trek across northern Spain done by following "The Camino de Santiago", the road to Santiago. Before February of 2001 I had not heard of "The Camino" nor of the Pilgrimage. By the end of October of that year I was in Santiago after completing the walk myself. I thought that when I reached Santiago my journey was over but I see now that my journey started way before I got to Spain and still has not ended.

Safe, Swift, Sure
Time, February 28, 1955
At one time this was the only way to get a package quickly across the country. Railway Express was the FedEx of its time.
This is one of several ads that I looked at which used only two colors, in this case black and red. Others used black and yellow or black and green. Not sure if it was the style of the time for certain types of advertisements or the style of one advertising agency. All the ads with this kind of presentation had something to do with heavy industry- things like shipbuilding, railroads, mining and industrial machinery.
A few more words about Railway Express here.
