Aerial Transportation. 



Owing to the extensive limits of 

 Price Brothers & Co., and the difficul- 

 ties therein, it is a very difficult matter 

 for bush managers and superinteiulents 

 to keep in close touch with outlying 

 operations. In the past it meant a trij) 

 of several days, with much waste of 

 time, (hic t<i bad roads, floods, etc. To- 

 ilay this (Hfficuky is solved by the aero- 

 ])lane. The manager can now start in 

 the morning, visit any part of his dis- 

 trict comfortably. witht>ut waste of 

 lime en route, and be back by evening 

 — a great saving of time and energy tt^ 

 the manager, and in case of something 

 serions hai)pening. a quick and effi- 

 cient way of getting to the scene ot 

 operations. 



.\gain, in the case of a cruising party 

 who ,ire setting mit on an exploring 

 trip through some distant limits, they 

 can be transported duickly to the near- 

 est possible point with provisions, etc.. 

 thus saving considerable cost and 

 >upplies.
