Remember!
¶ It is now nearly a century since the Plane was to supersede the
Dirigible for all purposes.
¶ TO-DAY _none_ of the Planet's freight is carried _en plane_.
¶ Less than two per cent. of the Planet's passengers are carried _en
plane_.
_We design, equip and guarantee Dirigibles for all purposes._
