Part of Alaga Coach Lines Fleet of Modern Buses
ca. 1942-1945 (note the BUY WAR BONDS signs on the buses) color postcard showing 2 nice looking Alaga Buses parked in front of a neat, Art Deco Greyhound Bus Terminal / Station. This bus station was in Dothan as card was published by Dothan Cigar & Candy Company and the original sender, apparently on a bus trip from Birmingham Alabama to Panama City Florida says that they have stopped for the night in Dothan and so presumably bought this card in the bus station there. It also matches other (but totally different) views of the Dothan Bus Station listed on ebay*
Further the card was postmarked in Dothan in August 1946 (but I'm virtually certain the card dates from 1942-1945 because of the BUY WAR BONDS signage on the side of the buses). The bus station was just still selling the cards (or giving them away) in 1946.
Standard size postcard printed by Curteich in Chicago.
I think Alaga Coach Lines may have been a local subsidiary of Greyhound, set up to serve Alabama and Georgia.
As of 16 July 2021 I couldn't find this card / view anywhere else @ ebay in either current or
completed listings*
*There are a lot of a
more recent view
but none dating from WW2
Postally used but VG+ with only the upper lh corner of recto (front) of card being lightly bumped. Really nice . . . . . . . .
Remember that the
Abraham Lincoln Penny
is not attached to the item. It is put on the scanner bed merely to protect the uniqueness or near uniqueness of an image so that the high bidder gets an item that has not been copied via someone's computer. The penny DOES NOT hide any faults or any damage!

WE REGRET WE DON'T SHIP OUT OF USA; SORRY, BUT
NO EXCEPTIONS.
FREE SHIPPING via stiff plastic postcard holder and/or cardboard + plastic sleeve protected 1st class mail, STANDARD RATE.
Regardless of what ebay may say on their "Shipping Page" - while STANDARD MAIL is perfectly safe for smaller & less expensive items - it is NOT the same grade of service as a "First Class Mail Parcel." Buyer MAY opt in (at a small-ish extra charge) for upgraded 1st class mail package rate (with TRACKING #)  at checkout if they choose to do so.
PAYPAL IS THE MUCH PREFERRED METHOD OF PAYMENT.
Thanks!
Please pay within 4 days. Delayed? Then email me - I'll try to work with you when necessary but it helps a lot when I have contact with you. If your payment is delayed, ebay is liable to send a dun or two. PLEASE NOTE THAT THOSE ARE COMING AUTOMATICALLY FROM EBAY AND
NOT
FROM ME. I typically send out just one reminder.
PLACING A BID IS THE ETHICAL EQUIVALENT OF ACCEPTING THESE TERMS. PLEASE DON'T ASK TO ALTER THEM AFTERWARDS.
In return, as our feedback clearly shows, we'll get your item(s) to you, as described, in a safe, timely manner. Thanks!
