BROOKS, BANKS & SMITH CORP.,
H.Q. COMMERCIAL AVIATION,
21 SMITH BLOCK, Telephone 16 J
FRAMINGHAM, MASS. U.S.A.

April 26th, 1920.

As Framingham is soon to be the centre of military and commercial aviation it is planned to have a meeting of all former aviators of the town and surrounding country, for the purpose of concentrating effort toward the development of this science to the extent that the town and vicinity be permanently placed on the aeronautical map and that flying, in general, be fostered locally.

With that end in view it has been suggested that registry be kept by the local aircraft company to be turned over to an aero club or committee to be formed later. All aviators and air service men are asked to call, telephone or write to 21 Smith Block, Framingham, give their names and addresses and state whether pilot, observer or mechanic.

It is further suggested that temporarily an Aero Committee be formed from this registry to co-operate with the town authorities in all matters pertaining to aviation, where such services are required. Later it is planned to form an Aero Club or Flying Club affiliating with the National organization.

Hope is expressed that every citizen will be a booster for this industry about to make Framingham a centre of its activities.
