Capital Transit Company 1934 Pass

The Capital Transit Company was famous for the colorful weekly transit passes they issued. Each pass featured an elaborate illustration on the front that reflected the season (and any applicable holiday) occurring when the pass was valid. Thanksgiving was no exception; this turkey-themed 1934 pass, valid on street car lines within the District, expired 86 years ago today, just a few days before thanksgiving. This pass is representative of thousands that the museum holds in the Mills Dean III Library.

We wish everyone a safe and happy thanksgiving.
