         In the meanwhile, the Advance Aircraft Company had been incorporated under the Mass. charter and had its headquarters at Troy,Ohio. Sam and Clayt had made an arrangement whereby each could alternate,in the office, of President. Within the year of 1925 Sam and Hattie were
married at Winston Salem, North Carolina. Four days after the marriage Sam and Hattie and little Buck sojourned to Troy, Ohio. Contemporaneously, Sam and Clayt had acquired controlling interest in the Advance

The danger in this was recognized inasmuch as some big financier would, in aviation, absorb the small fellows in the Industry. Then to get ahead of this Sam decided by mass production to sell enough Wacos the next year at $1800.00 so that he could become his own financier, build the ship he really wanted to build; not wear himself out repeating designs but have full flare
