Welcoming the flying salesmen to the plane's home base at Lockheed Air Terminal are (from left) Fred M. Stewart, Shell Los Angeles division aviation manager, and J. N. Katenhausen, assistant general manager of Lockheed Air Terminal, while G. S. Kester, Shell aviation representative, and E. M. Rohde, Shell assistant aviation manager, debark from Bonanza."
