Coordinated Rail-Air Express
Held Essential to Industry
History of Domestic Air Express During Past 16 Yearn
Indicative of Postwar Air Transportation Picture,
Express Agency Executive Believes.
As committees sit In conference
In this country and abroad, malting
plans for aviation in the postwar
period, U. S. business and industry
is considering the problem, too. Un-
fortunately, many people are mak-
ing fantastic predictions about the
future of air transportation, appar-
ently not satisfied with its splendid
achievements during the past dec-
ade.
Many air transportation execu-
tives believe that such forecasts are
unnecessary and often harmful. The
development of air express, for in-
stance, has progressed steadily from
a total of 17,000 shipments in its
first year (1928) to more than
1,500,000 shipments last year. Over
31,000,000 pounds of vital air ex-
press were flown over the nation’s
commercial airlines in 1943. But,
informed aviation observers point
out, this remarkable progress was
made possible only through a co-
ordinated, nation-wide shipping ser-
vice, such as that conducted by the
Air Express Division of Railway
Express Agency for the past 16
years.
Some of the more imaginative
predictions about the future of air
express have dealt with traffic vol-
ume; others concern rates. Experi-
enced transportation men are en-
thusiastic about the future pos-
sibilities for air shipping, but they
have confined themselves to state-
ments based on facts rather than
imagination. “Shippers whom we
have served for years,” says L. O.
Head, president of Railway Express
Agency, “are asking us; ‘What will
air express rates be after the war?’
A diligent study of this question
indicates such a wide difference of
opinion as to the postwar costs in-
volved that this question cannot be
answered satisfactorily now.”
Certainly rates will come down,
Mr. Head agrees, for as volume of
traffic increases that is a natural
and healthy development. But to
try and predict now what rates will
be, he believes, would do more
harm than good.
Another question frequently
asked, the express executive said,
concerns the place the air and rail-
air services of Railway Express will
hold in the postwar period. The
answer to that question lies with
the Civil Aeronautics Board and
Congress, he believes. “That is
something in which the public in-
terest is of great importance and
that interest should be protected,”
Mr. Head said. “However, no one
organization can serve the public,
as we have done for more than 8
century, without creating a custom-
er interest that cannot be denied.”
Notwithstanding the fact that
there are only 350 airport cities
throughout the country, thousand?
of non-airport cities and towns en-
joy the advantages of air express
speed through the combined, coor-
dinated schedules of rail and air
express. This is accomplished with
the express agency’s 15,000 motor
vehicles, 60,000 employes and 23,000
offices all over the U. S., which add
to the efficient handling of ship-
ments by air.
The primary value of air express
transportation is speed. Swift trans-
port of shipments in the air has to
be supplemented with the smooth
functioning at transfer points and
single responsibility for the indi-
vidual shipment from origin to
destination. Time gained in the air
can be lost on the ground. In tbe
coming air-age, the man who flies
his products to his customers will
realize superior profits, will expand
and hold his new markets. And a
single shipping responsibility may
prove to be more important in tb»
increased trade and commerce of
the postwar period than it is today.

How Waste Paper
goes to war!
The waste paper you collect, bundle and turn
in is rapidly reprocessed into war paper for
our fighters. They use it in over 700,000 ways.
They must have it. So never bum or throw
away waste paper—turn it all in—now! Here’s
how it’s used:
PAPER BOXES forward our preparations for invading
Fortress Europe. Boxes, cartons, wrappings of all sorts
safely carry vital supplies.
PAPER PLANS aboard this warship, as well as on land,
map out our strategy for victory ... in this case for an
air attack on the enemy.
