You will will be surprised, if you talk gliding to your friends, to learn how many are as enthusiastic as yourself-as anxious to learn to fly as you are. You will find that the organization of a club is not nearly as complicated as you might have thought.

The officers of the Franklin Glider Corporation have had years of experience in such matters and are eager to help you organize. If you will write, giving your situation in detail, we will be glad to advise from our experience.

This offer applies only within a reasonable distance from the factory.

Upon receipt of an order accompanied by deposit we will, if requested, send free of charge blue-prints of a trailer for carrying the Franklin P-S-2.
