will greatly expedite the delivery of mail for all sec-
tions of the country. This is the only air service
now operated by the Post Office Department.
Any mailable matter will be carried, including
sealed parcels not exceeding 50 pounds in weight and
not exceeding 84 inches in length and girth combined,
with postage at the rate of 8 cents an ounce or frac-
tion of an ounce for each zone or part of a zone.
The route is divided into three zones: From New
York to Chicago; from Chicago to Cheyenne; and
