Color: Black; Purple; White
A letter to Major Reed C. Landis from Cliff Henderson typed on a flier for the Western Aircraft Show held in Los Angeles, November 18, 1929. The masthead, in orange and purple, has the name of the show, its dates, and the name of the Ambassador Hotel which was the location of the event's executive offices. The show's logo of a winged goddess blowing a biplane across the sky, and with the outline of the western states, is at the right. The main body of the letter, which is on the front of the flier and is item a), details the success of the Western Aircraft Show's attendance and profits. Page two of the letter, which is item b), is signed by Herderson, who was the show's Managing Director, and includes Reed's company address at the bottom left. On the inside of a) is a full description of the Western Aircraft Show along with illustrations and a map of its location which was at the northwest corner of Fairfax Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard. The sponsors were the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce and the California Aircraft Exposition Association. On the back is an illustrated announcement pertaining to a goodwill tour through Western cities. The names of the Show's officers and directors, as well as those of the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce, are at the bottom. In good condition, the artifact has only light creases, some discoloration, and two folds across the center.Lexicon
