More and More Companies 
Are Chartering Helicopters
To Solve Tough
Transportation Problems

.. in many cases a 'copter is the one efficient, economical way to utilize men, machines and material

By making dramatic jobs routine and routine jobs much less costly, the helicopter has secured a place of its own in dozens of industrial and service fields. Some examples:

Oil · To rush parts or repairmen to offshore rigs far from land, saving perhaps thousands of dollars in time · To transport troubleshooters to remote work sites in hours instead of days · To hurry delivery of core samples and to return lab reports quickly. All reasons enough why oilmen "in a tight" can't afford not to use the helicopter.

Utilities · To speed up inspection of high tension power lines (actually 45 times faster than by foot) · To patrol pipelines during "impossible" winter-month weather · To keep supplies and mail moving regularly to isolated stations. In matters of cost and morale utility men realize the necessity of a helicopter.
