The different images depicted on these cars represents a popular ad campaign used by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad in the mid 20th Century to advertise its passenger sleeping car service with the slogan "Sleep like a Kitten and Wake Up Fresh as a Daisy in Air-Conditioned Comfort". Each of these creative advertising posters features "Chessie the Cat" in her traditional sleeping poses. She was used in hundreds of newspapers and magazine advertisements through the decades and even today her image still lives on within the Chessie System Logo. | | | | | |
