THE FUTURE OF AVIATION 

Not since the early days in the development of the automobile industry have there been such splendid opportunities as are now presented, and will be presented in the field of Commercial Aeronautics. We all know of the wonderful successes made by hundreds of men who had the foresight to enter the automobile field in its early days of development. These men went in at the opportune time and were carried rapidly upward on a rising tide of prosperity. These same conditions now exist in the field of aviation. The man who identifies himself, now, whether financially or actively, will be in on the "ground floor." He will be in just as favorable a position as those men who made fortunes out of the automobile business, because they got into it at the beginning and grew with it. 

The motor car developments have been limited because of the conventional limitations of terra firma. The air is free to all. One may fly as fast and as high as one wishes. There are no tracks to build and maintain, and no elaborate signal systems to establish. 

No extraordinary imagination is required to picture some of the things which will become daily happenings of the air. To the inventions of the Wright brothers, Grahame White, Glenn Curtiss, Sopwith, Bleriot, Roe, and other pioneers, improvements will be added, until science makes it possible to land on roods, in your yard or in the town square, with absolute safety. Night Flying will be universally practical. Airplanes will be built with limousine bodies, to an extent of 75%, directionally controlled by wireless, flying above the sixth air strata, at tremendous rates of speed, by use of the supercharger. Main air-ways will be charted, and eventually a machine operated by current derived from the air will become a fact. 

Already airplanes are carrying passengers on regular routes. Mail transport is present reality. A piano has been carried by airplane from London to Paris. A washing machine was delivered in Evanston by a Chicago concern, by air. Ranchmen are employing the airplane to inspect their properties and cattle under conditions where wagons or automobiles could not travel ten miles a day. Now is the time to get in this industry.
We invite earnest and forward-looking men who recog-
nize these vast possibilities to become identified with this company.

BUSINESS POLICY AND OPPORTUNITIES OF THE COMPANY
The men who organized this company aim to establish a permanent aircraft business through safe, progressive methods. They believe in safety first flying and careful management of aircraft. Only highly skilled mechanics, and pilots of unques-
