Cowie, President of the American Railway Express, a canny, able old Scotchman, describing how the pushcart gave way to the horse-cart, the horse-cart to the express train, and predicting that the Express company will give unlimited business to the first responsible air transport company; Grover C. Loening, Manhattan society man, young, sparkling, decidedly of the "beaumonde" yet one of the ablest aeronautical engineers in the country who pictured the amphibian flying over land and alighting on rivers in the very heart of cities; dignified...
