Take the Pacific Coast, for instance. ; When United Air lines started its service here 17 years ago, we saw the West as primarily a great fanning, mining and lumbering area. Now we see it growing into a leading industrial empire. ; Spread out as though in a vast panorama, one sees iron ore and coal pouring into new . steel plants.. The lumber industry is discovering important new products. Rivers are unleashing vital electric power. One-third of all the aluminum in the U. S. is being produced on the Pacific Coast. New plants are manufacturing airplanes, syn thetic rubber, new chemicals, new plastics.' In this developing industrial empire, air trans portation is becoming mcreasingly important. The airplane, through its speed and flexibility, can . further cot travel time for people, merchandise and mail between factories, farms and outlets spread through this country and abroad. ' Because it sees these changes taking ' place, United Air lines is shaping plans to ensure that the airplane will take its full part in that impor tant future of the West. The millions which United has already invested to provide air trans portation to the cities of California, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia will be aug mented with many more millions in the post-war -period. United will continue to furnish superior V service for the air travel and shipping needs of the Pacific Coast. . Once only 8 cities on the West Coast were served by United. Now there are 24. In the com ing Age of Flight there will be many more, and they will be brought ever closer to the busy trade centers of the country with bigger and faster United Mainliners. In this way United is constantly watching and planning serving you in this new industrial empire. The way we hope you will look at it is as proof of United's desire to be considered a partner in the progress of the Pacific Coast.
