...Some of us women shrank from the characterization, were indignant about the injustice of it. We tried to think of ways to persuade public and press to give us a fairer, more accurate description.

Two typical concerns which felt that they might save money by shipping by air were White Truck Co. and Packard Motor Car Co., heavy shippers of spare parts. The White company estimated it could reduce its inventory of parts in 32 scattered service stations from...
