principal production
The AVIADA celebration has developed into an occasion much more spectacular and of far greater importance than was at first envisioned by the young fellows of the Junior Chamber of Commerce who devised the plan.
Instead of being entirely local in its character, AVIADA is already attracting nationwide interest and many other localities will in coming years be having celebrations or commemorations in connection with air navigation very similar to that now being held in Las Vegas.
The affair is serving two major purposes: that of stimulating the activities of the great organizations engaged in air transport, and that of bringing increased knowledge and aroused interest to the general public.
A few years ago perhaps one person in ten thousand had any real interest in air travel and that interest was generally expressed by the desire to keep entirely out of airplanes and to have nothing to do with the enterprise except to send an occasional letter by air mail. Today most of the people have had the pleasant experience of the speed and comfort of air travel and air mail is one of the indispensable conveniences of everyday life.
The Las Vegas AVIADA will serve both to sharpen the desires of the companies to serve the people and at the same time heighten the demand on the part of the public for still better and more widely distributed air service.
