Tribune Publishing Co., Dillon, MT, 1905. Letterpress broadside, 11" x 14," signed in type by F.W. Vogler, General Manager, Redrock, Montana and George H. Monk, General Agent, Salmon City, Idaho. This stage line ran from 1866 to 1910, bringing passengers from Gibbonsville and Salmon, Idaho, through the Lemhi Pass at the Montana line to Red Rock. The route spanned a total of 125 miles and ran year-round. It involved three stagecoach companies, Redrock, Salmon & Gibbonsville, which included 90 horses, 14 Concord coaches, and 12 wagons. It is reported that when taking the route, it wasn't uncommon to be held up by bandits or rogues, or see an overturned coach from the treacherous roads. The company ran advertisements with somewhat similar text in the Idaho Recorder from at least October 1904 to November 1905.

Two mounting holes in blank upper margin; three of four blank corners chipped with small portion of the border affected at upper right; repairs with tape on blank verso. Overall a very nice example of a rare stagecoach line advertisement which apparently is only located at Yale..
