We propose establishing an aerodrome and efficient service station in the most populated district of each sales territory. Aviation from a commercial standpoint will grow only so fast as adequate landing grounds and service stations are provided. This is absolutely essential for a permanent business, and when support and financial conditions warrant it we propose purchasing sitesfor this purpose. At the present time we have one or two locations in view near Framingham and are getting in touch with owners of fields near Worcester and Springfield. Such stations should be near to good transportation by rail or water. They would act as air terminals, supply fuel, accomodation for freight and passengers and house visiting planes. Revenue would be derived from the sale of parts, aeroplanes, repairs, fuel and temporary storage rental. 5. SCHOOL OF AERONAUTICS,TRAINING PILOTS IN THEORY AND PRACTICE. FOR MEN AND WOMEN. Theoretical lectures --- ten hours Practical Flying --- ten hours. Tuition .............. $500.00 It is the plan to conduct a very modern school, which will teach the highest efficiency in all the branches of aeronautics. Some students quickly grasp the essentials of piloting an aeroplane and others are correspondingly slow. We propose to allow ten hours for the theoretical instruction and ten hours for the practical flying. Those requiring additional instruction in flying will be required to pay an additional charge of $ 25.00 per hour.
