Denver
You don’t exactly have
to be a mathematical genius to see
that the fastest way to get yourself from
Point Ato Point B is not by going through PointC. ^
And yet that’s what airlines have always expected you
to do, if you wanted to fly from Nashville to Denver
They’ve taken you north,thrt:>ugh Chicago and St.Louis.
South,through places like Dallas,Memphis and Little Rock.
OllCOTO Amazingly enough,every other airline stilldoes
• Wit that wayThe only one that doesn’t is Piedmont.
I While everybody else is circling one airport or
t another, we fly you nonstop to Denver in two houR
and 47 minutes.That’s at
least an hour faster than
anybody else can get you

there.Two.even three,
hours faster than some.

J We’ve also scheduled our727 nonstop jet ser\ice so
■ that,once you’re in Denver, you can make easy
a connections for 26 more cities all over the West
and Southwest. Cities like San Francisco,
Lx>s Angeles, Honolulu,Las'Vegas, Phoenix and
Nashville Aspen.tonamejustafew
NASHVJ L L£ TO DEN'V'ER
So, the next time you need to
fly from Nashville to Denver, we hope
you’ll remember Piedmont.
Because we still remember this
simple lesson that the other airlines seem to have forgotten:
The shortest distance between two ■
points is always a straight line.

Explicit expressions
say what is meant. And that’s exactly what
Piedmont’s been doing with its recent
advertisments. A story about our new ad
agency and the men behind the succinct
statements is on page seven.
Some of them have even taken you back east, through Atlanta.
And not only did you have to change planes; about
as often as not, you also had to change airlines. So you lost
time,probably patience,and occasionally your luggage.
