Carefully
crafting an image appealing to a wide audience,
Holiday Inn showed itself as a place for
all. Note the jet airliner in each of the
views used to demonstrate modernity! In
the earliest card it closely resembles a
Delta Airlines DC-8! |

|
A
Renewed Vision: From the Nation's
to the World's Innkeeper, Holiday Inn adopted
its expanded mission in 1969. |
