AIRPLANE ADVERTISER IS BRANDED IMPOSTER
The game is on. Get-rich-quick Wallingford's are resorting to all manner of means to gather in the coin during "fight week." The latest in an advertising scheme, where by Toledo merchants may advertise their wares from an airplane. The culprit is still at large.
Operations of a smooth tongued individual who in telephonic communication with certain dealers left the impression that his plan was sanctioned by the Commerce club were revealed yesterday. Commerce Club officials issued a warning that the fellow was an imposter.
Other merchants were notified by silver-tongued feminine voices that a pamphlet containing advertisements from Toledo's leading merchants was to be dropped from and airplane into the Bay View area July 4.
Secretary Saxton said the Commerce Club is not identified with advertising promoters who probably will flood Toledo with souvenir literature.

Barney Benes, Cleveland, Starts Engine on Flight, Which Drops to Earth
[[underline]]
Falling from an altitude of 200 feet in an aeroplane which he was trying out, in a field near Swanville, Aviator Barney Benes, from Cleveland, yesterday afternoon

plane which he had bought from Harold Bruner, was bring tried out previous to being shipped to Cleveland. Mr. Bruner took the machine up first, and put it through the paces, doing fancy dips and other stunts. The second trip that was made Benes went along with Bruner as passenger. On the third trip Benes went up alone, for the first time in two years. At an altitude of about 200 feet, he decided to land, and in some manner stalled his engine. he fell, the plane striking on the front wheel, throwing him about 10 feet, and the plane turned over on him. 
In the mixup, the propeller caught Benes' leather coat and ripped it fro
e shoulder to the waist. Had
ought him with more force, it would doubtedly have killed him. As it he was just stunned, and soon re-
after being given first aid by John Peerboom, who was 
left for Cleveland last
ane was badly damaged.

plane over an opening in the tree tops so Photographer Van Horn could get a "shot" at the Willard ring.
Here is how the aviator maneuvered his plane to get this picture: 
He flew out over the bay at an altitude of 900 feet. Then he dived sharply toward the opening in the trees with the photographer hanging out over the side of the fuselage ready to snap his shutter when the plane whizzed by the opening.

Aviator Myers succeeded in tilting at the proper angle and the picture was secured. 

Big Jess Willard is seen in the ring with his sparring partner, Walter Hempel. A blur, visible tn the canvas enclosure, is a sign advertising the fact that Jess trains inside.

A few rowboats may be seen in the water.

Staff Photographer Van Horn made these trips as the guest of Aviators Charles W. Myers and George Weaver. Both men saw service as instructors. 

The men have their machines parked opposite the Rail-Light pow[[?]] house at the Casino and are anxious to take up passengers in the afternoon for short flights, for a reasonable charge. 

Both men are experiences and careful fliers.
