Greatest disappointment of the show's opening, from a spectacular standpoint, was the absence of the new 40-passenger Ford "Pullman" developed by Ford's Chief Engineer William Benson Mayo. Last-minute work on the ship was rushed at the Ford plant in hope of having it on the hangar floor before the show closed...

This part of the continent is one of the most important and yet least known areas from the standpoint of prehistoric civilization.
