And take this ad It tells people how much time and money they can save by flying. Advertising like this is one big reason why air transportation has just about tripled in the past ten years! And it's a big reason why there are more airplanes to build, more work for people like me, more money going into the pockets of everyone in the West And more people flying helps keep the fares down, too. Maybe you've noticed that airline fares have stayed at about their 1939 leveL Fact is, in coach fares, they're lower. x The way I figure it, advertising air travel - or advertising 'most anything else helps all of us.
