This spread was manufactured by our organization to commemorate Lindbergh's flight and other aviation achievements that have taken place the last year. You might be interested to know that we have already sent spreads to every person in the news today, to the King and Queen of every reigning house in Europe, to Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge, Mrs. Lindbergh, Ambassador Houghton, Ambassador Schurman, Mr. Orteig of the Brevoort Hotel, who was really responsible for Lindbergh's flight, and last but not least, Col. Lindbergh has slept under one of these spreads at the Premier's house in Ottawa, Canada. We have had replies from all of these notable people thanking us for the Spreads. I might add that this spread cannot be bought in the stores at any price, as we only made, for our friends, a limited amount, which is rapidly being exhausted. We hope you will get as much pleasure out of this Spread as we do in sending it " . (Image)
