The central theme of the ad revolves around air travel and its importance to modern business people who value speed, punctuality, and comfort. At the top of the image, there's a banner that reads "Some Short jottings for airline operators and their crews. " Below this header are various locations marked on parts of what appear to be continents or countries such as Augusta, Cairo, Calcutta (now Kolkata), Darwin, Johannesburg, Singapore, Sydney. Each location has an associated figure drawn in an exaggerated style typical of early 20th-century Western cartoons. The main body of text poses the question "What does the modern business man want. . . ?" followed by three columns addressing different aspects related to air travel preferences: 1. Speed: It emphasizes that modern businessmen demand quick travel times due to busy schedules. 2. Punctuality: The importance of keeping flight schedules reliable is highlighted. 3. Comfort: Suggestions include providing comfortable seating arrangements and amenities like hot drinks during flights.
