H. Wattis (on the left), at . I - celebration, Ogden. May 10. The mechanician is placing the chocolates in the aeroplane for delivery deliv-ery at Eeno, Nev., and Sacramento, Cal. Word of the arrival in Reno, Nev., of a recent shipment of the Sweet Candy company's chocolates, by way of the clouds in an airplane, was received here yesterday. H. J. Gosse, manager of the Riversido hotel at Reno, was the consignee, and the delivery was made in response to his telegraphic order to the Sweet Candy company on May 1(1. The candy was carried by Lieutenants W. M. Beck and J. M. Fetters, wnu did the exhibition flying at the recent' Golden Spike celebration in Ogden. Lieutenant Curtis was to have carried the package of confections, had his injury in-jury not interfered with his flying and necessitated his immediate return to Mather field, Sacrameuto, Cal. As it was, his comrades carried an. extra box of chocolates for delivery to him, in addition to the consignment to Mr. Gosse and the boxes presented to the aviators themselves. The candy was packed in the regular regu-lar boxes and wrapped in heavy paper: It arrived without any damage to parcel par-cel or contents from the swift travel over high roads. In speaking of the successful undertaking under-taking to fill the order of Mr. Gosse by airplane, Leon Sweet said yesterday that delivery of choice candies by air service might come to be popular if regular messengers should some day traverse the skyways between' Salt Lake and cities of other states. "It would make it possible for a .young woman to have chocolates fresh from the company's factory," Mr. Sweet said, "almost within the hour uf her expressed desire, and who knows but there might be an added flavor to ! confections that had been hurried j through the rrtrified ozone at a terrific j speed to satisfy her particular, potulan; appetite for them 1 "At any rate, it remained for Salt Lake candy makers to put their freshly made product of choicest chocolates into the hands of a customer hundreds of miles away in a shorter time than such service was ever performed in the history of the making and selling of candy in Utah or the United States. Who knows but that Reno society may get the habit of ordering chocolates from Salt Lake in the morning of each day the same as they telephone to the grocer or the iceman in their home town, and resting confident that they will be delivered in airplane haste?" |
