MINNESOTA VACATION
development of air transportation facilities. Because of distances and general convenience, air travel is the most logical way to travel to and from the Minnesota vacation country.
Among the first to realize this importances was Les Schroeder, Commissioner of Aeronautics for the state of Minnesota. Schroeder, rotund, apple-cheeked and talkative only when he has something worthwhile to say, • is a gristmill of plans and ideas. He has educated Minnesotans to the air age, and already it is paying off in vastly increased use of the state's resort facilities by air.
From Kansas City or St. Louis, the Bemidji country is six hours by air, 26 hours by train and a long, long day's drive by automobile. Complete information on where to go and how to get there may be had by writing to Mid-Continent Air Lines, Waltower Building, Kansas City, Mo.
Air travel is the easiest and most comfortable and by all odds not the
most expensive. Chances are that you will choose Mid-Continent out of Kansas City or St. Louis, or Northwest out of Chicago and the eastern cities.
With your big plane landing at Minneapolis, your next step is aboard a private charter plane or scheduled airliner. Very likely you will ride in a twin-motored Cessna aircraft piloted by Bob, Joe or Warren Schaper, who operate a charter air service to the lakes country. Or, you may have seats on the Bemidji Air Lines, a scheduled service between the Twin Cities and Bemidji, with new, seven passenger Nordyne Norsemen planes. The trip by plane from Minneapolis takes about an hour and a half.
MidContinent Air Lines are playing an important role in developing the Minnesota vacation country. Bob Moreland, Mid-Continent Public Re' lations director, believes that Minnesota has something that should be shared. It is not a question of increased ticket sales or high pressure promotion behind Mid-Continent's efforts, because the airline operates a heavy schedule without the vacation trade. It is a simple matter of economic and social benefits that can accrue to both north and south sections when they are brought closer together by a swift bond of air travel.
For the visitor to the Northland in summer, and South during the winter months, air travel vastly increases the length of the vacation, by cutting out the tiresome hours of travel in between.
