POST WAR ERA EXPECTED
TO RKINli GREAT CHANGES
IV AIR TRANSPORTATION
AUSTIN. Dec 16 Retail mer-
chants and manufacturers expect-
ing to profit by post-war buying
must take into consideration the
enormous development In air
transportation during recent years.
Dr John H Frederick. University
of Texas professor of transporta-
tion told tin- Chicago chapter of
the American Marketing Associa-
tion in a recent address
The national market will lie
shrunk In terms of tlme-in-
transr for travel or shipment*, to
the 1 ••• of the state of Pennsyl-
vania he declared Marketing
centers are certain to .shift, since
inland cities wll Ibe just as acces-
sible a> those on the roast "
In addition the shopping area
■ if buyers will be considerably
enlarged since speedy air trans-
portation of passengers is certain
to become increasingly popular
after the war Dr EYedertck pre
dieted
Air lines to all parts of the
country will make it possible lo
teach all 1 h e wholesale buying
power and most of the consumer
buying power of the country by
direct air transportation." he said
That being the case, one certain
development in marketing will br
the tendency to manufacture and
distribute for a national rather
than a regional market "
