Is Set for u. ).

WASHINGTON, Oct, IS UP)
-ielmuth Bay. consultant for
Rand McNally & Co. today dis
played a new map in which the
country is divided into ID aerorau-
teal trade areas.
Testifying at a civil aeronautics
board hearing on proposed feeder
airiineS, Bay said the aeronautical
trade areas would serve as basic
units on which to lay out the
potential air commerce OF the
country as a whole and provide a
method to determine where feeder
lines should run.
The Ia aeronautical trade areas
are a new concept of marketing
areas because the factor of air
transportation makes them about
three times larger than previous
conceptions OF marketing areas
he said.
The areas are based on these
cities: Seattle-Portland, Los An
geles-San Francisco, Salt Lake

Houston. St. Louis-Kansas City
Chicago-Omaha, Minneapolis-St
Paul, New Orleans Memphis. At
