St. Paul Sunday Pioneer Press Centennial Edition, April 14, 1940

This appears to be a vintage newspaper supplement or special edition, titled "CENTENNIAL Edition" in large yellow and green lettering with a shadowed effect across the top. Beneath the title, in smaller text set within a white oval, it reads "ST. PAUL SUNDAY PIONEER PRESS", followed by "SUNDAY, APRIL 14, 1940", and then "RAILROADS * AIR LINES * MOTOR FREIGHT LINES". The cover features a vibrant, multicolor illustration depicting various modes of transportation with a city backdrop. A large, propeller-driven airplane is shown in the sky above a city. Below, a streamlined train is on tracks heading towards the foreground. In the lower foreground, a bright yellow and green streetcar is on the left, a white and teal bus is in the center, and a red and white truck with "OVERLAND" written on its side is on the right. The illustration is in a somewhat simplified, mid-20th century style. The paper itself shows signs of age, with discoloration around the edges and likely some brittleness. There is visible creasing on the right side. The quality of the printing appears to be typical of a newspaper of that era. The overall condition appears fair to good considering its age, with no major tears or significant damage visible in the image beyond expected wear.
