HOW AVIATION IS GROWING C j The aviation business may in the near future take rank with the giants of American industry. Its growth during the past half decade has been amazing; production schedules of manufacturers are advancing so rapidly that the volume of business which will bo reached a few years from now can ! only be guessed. ' ? In 1928 American manufacturers sold slightly more than ; ; 4000 planes with a total market value of $75,000,000.' During uie pi-esent year, according to a survey made by the Aeronau 1 tical Chnmlwr of Cohimei-cc, production will le between 10,- 000 and 12,000 planes, valued at over $100,000,000. ; Yet that tells only part of tho story. In 1921, the year in which the chamber, was organized, there Was only $5,000,- 000 invested in. the'airplane business in this country. The , few plants that existed managed to keep going chiefly by ' virtue of government contracts, and large-scale production ' for commercial purposes seemed very remote. ' It was not until 1921, when day and niirht transcontinon- t..i airmail service was started, that the industry began to; pick up. iy jujf the industry's total commercial sales were f a mile better than ?:.0i0,00), with military sales swelling ' " the total to around $20,000,000. ' The pick-up experienced in 1928, which apparently is go ing to go ahead at an even faster rate this year, however, is the first real "boom" that the industry has felt. The chamber's survey reports jubilantly: "Additional capital appears to lc available as needed. The requirement for more schools in which to train piano pur chasers to fly is iK'iiip; mot. The shipments of airmail and package freight mount each month. Operators of air trans port lines reiHirt such increasing patronage as to warrant extensions and more frequent service." We are beginning, at last, to reap the full benefit of the i ocean flights of tho past two yoai-s. They maue the nation I "air minded" and proved the airplane's possibilities. America i is sprouting winrs as a result. alry. oaineiy 66c; 1 lbs.. - - Butter, en 11.10. .. Eggs 46o dos. Cheese 1647400 lb. ' Honey Comb. 36o lh Vegetable Potatoes 11.00 cwt Artichoke 20c.
