This rare view of the interior of the United Air Lines’ San Francisco Ticket Office is from circa 1933. In the 1930s, only one class of tickets were offered on flights and everyone paid the same fare, though a round trip ticket had a 10% discount. Also in the background on the right side is general manager, Steve Stimpson who hired Ellen Church, United’s first female flight attendant.
