"But Mr. Abercrombie—Pan American already
knows how many more Clipper flights
are now serving Alaska”
Thirty*five flights going Outside every week! Thirty
five coming back! Fifteen hundred extra seats every
month—a 40 percent increase! That’s Pan American
Flying Clipper service as it now stands ... and we’re
plenty happy to announce it. Wish it meant that you
could step aboard without reservations — but it
doesn’t. You should still contact the address below
as early as possible so your seat will be waiting. It’ll
be a pleasure to welcome you aboard.
