TROY,

TRAILER ROOM LEASED BY AIRPLANE COMPANY IN FACTORY EXPANSION

Assembling Work Will Be Done at New Plant - Office Moved to West Street

In order to take care of the expanding needs of its business the Advance Aircraft company has leased a portion of the Troy Trailer and Wagon company on the corner of West and Union streets and expects to occupy the space next week, according to an announcement by C. J. Brukner, head of the plant factory.
A portion of the office of the wagon company on West street has also been leased and the office of the plane concern will be moved there from the present factory on South Union street.
Mr. Brukner stated that the leasing of the additional space solves for the present the need of more floor space of the company and it will remain in this city for the present year if not indefinitely. 
The present factory building on South Union street, occupied by the plane company, is to be used for the metal work on the ships and buildings of fusilages. The remainder of the work including the assembling will be done in the new quarters.
Mr. Brukner is very enthusiastic over the performance of the new model Waco now getting into production. He states the plane far exceeds his expectations and is a great improvement over the model built in 1926. The new ship not only is more beautiful in appearance but has greater climbing abilities and more speed than its predecessor.
Officials of the company state orders are coming in fast for spring delivery and the indications are for a bigger year than in 1926. Production is gradually being increased to meet the orders and it is expected, the officers stated, that the plant will be going at full capacity within a short time.

FIVE WACOS WILL BE USED BY NEW AIR LINE

Troy Planes To Carry Express and Passengers Between Louisville and Cleveland Beginning Thursday

Five Waco airplanes will be used in the new E. R. Express line which will be opened between Louisville and Cleveland Thursday morning by T. H. Embry and J. P. Riddle of Cincinnati, distributors for Ohio and Kentucky of the Waco plane manufactured by the Advance Aircraft company of this city.
This will inaugurate a passenger and express air service between the two points with way stations at Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and Akron.
The Embry-Riddle company is also attempting to secure the mail contract between Louisville and Cleveland which was awarded to another company sometime ago but which was cancelled last week.
The company has operated the Lunken airport at Cincinnati for sometime and has distributed the Waco plane for several years. Officers of the local factory state the Embry-Riddle company is one of its largest distributors and has contacted for a large number of planes this year.
The new express and passenger line is being backed by the Cincinnati chamber of commerce which is said to assure it of good financial support.
