TRANSPORTING GOODS
BY AEROPLANE SERVICE
National Air Transport, Inc., Chicago, Transports
Merchandise of Every Description.
The National Air Transport planes fly 5,000 miles,
approximately, every day, and have flown nearly
1,500,000 miles without loss of life or of cargo or even
serious injury to anyone. Business men can under-
stand that with a government bureau devoting all
its time to commercial aeronautics, that practical air
transport is not a thing of the future but that it is
here today, at the door, waiting to serve them. The
bureau in the Department of Commerce, is headed by
Assistant Secretary William P. MacCracken, Jr.
Merchandise of nearly every description is being
handled by air, by mail and express. The American
Railway Express delivers the express to the air fie!d,
and at point of destination picks up the package and
attempts to deliver every such parcel to the addressee
within a half hour after its arrival.
Instances of the use of the air transport by almost
every form or line of business, could be multiplied a
thousandfold. One example will serve to aid the
comprehension of the tremendous speed of 100 miles
an hour or better, that by air line brings near two
points separated by vast distance:
On September 7, an express shipment was for-
warded from Paris, France, to San Francisco, where
it was received on September 15, at 5 p. m., and was
delivered to the consignee by the American Railway
Express Company at 5:30 p. m., just eight days
from the time the transit began!
