“Sky Rides ” Are Familiar to the Colombians

MOST visitors to the Century of Progress in Chicago are thrilled with the “Sky Ride” in swift cars carried on cables between two lofty steel towers. To Colombians or others who have been in the mountain regions of Colombia, this is not exactly a novelty. In that South American republic there have been for years aerial cableways stretching for miles from peak to peak. Last year one such cableway, here shown, carried 100,000 passengers and 32,000,000 pounds of freight.
