[[advertisement]] 64 AIRCRAFT April, 1911 HALL-SOTT AERONAUTICAL POWER PLANTS HALL-SCOTT MOTORS are the only American build aviation motors that have been purchased and endorsed by professional aviators. Motors, propellers and radiators built within the one factory, allowing of a correct balancing of component parts and a maximum degree of efficiency. A Hall-Scott motor will take you through the novice period, with a continuous thrust, from twenty pounds up as you need it, and then on into the professional ranks with excess power at your command.

HAMILTON BUD MARS D. MASSON Wiseman started in with a Hall-Scott power plant, and when he learned to handle his plane did not have to discard his motor and purchase a higher powered one. He had all the power needed for professional working the motor he started with. Hall-Scott motors have such flexibility of control that they can be used with absolute safety by beginners in aviation. Start in right with a Hall-Scott, and save the expense of a low powered motor, because you will eventually want all the power you can get. JOHN H.

[Special Dispatch to The Call] SANTA ROSA, Feb. 18 - Fred J. Wiseman, who was the only amateur to make a successful flight at the San Jose aviation meet, flew from Petaluma to Santa Rosa today. He flew about 16 miles in almost the same number of minutes. The flight included the delivery of a newspaper, which he threw off at farm houses. He also carried orders from Petaluma firms to Santa Rosa business houses and letters from Postmaster Olmstead of ePtaluma to Postmaster Tripp of Santa Rosa. This morning at 8 o'clock Wiseman took his seat and was off like a bird. The engine ran like clockwork and the machine sailed swiftly and smoothly. With a long wide sweep eastward toward the foothills, where he would be protected from a rising north wind, Wiseman set his course, and then, making a letter S, followed the line of hills several miles northward over Penngrove and Cotati and again northward to the southern edge of town and landed in a field.
