"I stopped off the train at St. Paul on my rvay east, completed my business there, took the Air Mail passenger plane to Chicago, and made the same connection for New York that I r'vould have made had I remained on the train."

"Aviation has replaced prohibition as a favorite topic among groups of business men on trains and in hotels norvadays, and the growth of air passenger business will be rapid," Mr. Ostlind declared.

lle was pleasantly surprised to find business so good in the east, and found that business men generally there are looking for a big volume of business in 1928.
