VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This vintage advertisement showcases a scene from an early 20th-century American street, with the focus on a man loading packages into an "Air Express" delivery truck. The image evokes nostalgia for a bygone era of small-town life, where businesses like drugstores and local newspapers were cornerstones of the community. The ad highlights the reliability and modernity of Wright aircraft engines through the metaphorical narrative of 'Old Sykes' upgrading to a new truck powered by these engines. It suggests that just as Sykes keeps up with technological advancements for efficient deliveries, so too do Wright engines represent progress in aviation.
