...lines, Delta is by far the larger (32 planes, including six DC-6s, v. Northeast's 13 planes and no DC-6s) and longer. Its 3,937 miles of routes are almost four times as long as Northeast's. Delta is also the more profitable: during the past three years its net has increased fourfold to $815,751; in the first eight months of this year, Northeast netted only $274,000.

Fares will be no higher than on other DC-6 flights...
...Although National wound up fiscal 1949 last June with a piddling $38,963 profit, it earned $866,000 in the last six months of that year, thanks partly to a big boost in mail pay over 1948. On the expectation of continued profits he is buying two new DC-6s and arranging for the lease of three more four-engined planes.
