Excerpt:
“Mr. Thomas Hart Benton studied art in Paris–but found more inspiration in the corn fields of his own Missouri. Now one of our most celebrated painters, Mr. Benton enjoys old friends, old habits. In travel, however he goes strictly modern–via Lockheed Super Constellations, the favorite of distinguished air travelers everywhere.”
