was the greatest. But thanks for making

it official, anyway.

We're pleased you appointed us official air line to the Annual Con-vention of Sea bees.

And, of course, you knew exactly what you were d0ing.

United flies more conven-vou'r the srootat, too. And t.hllt'1 ollld&I!" tioneerS tO and from COn VentiOflS

than any other airline. So, naturally, we know what kind of food you like. And what kind of service and care you need.

Make it official. See your Travel Agent or call us for reservations.
