# Page Description This is an illustrated page from a 1943 pulp magazine featuring a black-and-white photograph labeled "THE HOBOES OF 1943." The image shows a woman in 1940s attire sitting on what appears to be a train or aircraft exterior, holding onto a rod or handle. The accompanying text humorously suggests readers will find the woman "as charming as this 'un, caught 'riding the rods' (at 10,000 feet) from Cleveland to Cheyenne." The credit reads "Globe Photo." This appears to be a lighthearted feature blending aviation imagery with hobo culture references, typical of pulp magazine entertainment content from the era.
