Experts are convinced that the major part of air cargo volume will be made up of style goods, seasonal goods, goods changing in model, and gift packages, specialty fish, fruit and vegetable items and cut flowers, To dramatize air transportatien of seasonal foods, Wayne university invited 250 food experts to a lush banquet.

and potential shippers. . Advocates of air cargo expansion are not deluding themselves into wishful thinking that all their problems will be magically solved once peace returns, Cost, for instance, will be an important factor, since rail transportation will still be far below that of air shipping. They are convinced, however, that the consumer won't mind paying more for air advantages.

Highly profitable “special order”
gowns of a desired color and size for next day rush delivery, and mail order business with customers at distant places can be developed to an increasing extent, To back up their faith in air cargo transportation, air-minded executives point to the impressive record of the air transport command, whose shipments during the first six months of 1944 totalled 22,000,000 pounds of freight, valued at $79,000,000. These shipments were made over global routes, many of
