A Word of Appreciation

IN the resumption of the National Air Races, after a lapse of six years, the management was faced with many problems resulting from the scarcity of materials, shortness of time and other abnormal conditions. The help and cooperation extended by the following organizations and companies aided greatly in making this event again possible for Cleveland.

I wish to take this means of acknowledging and expressing my grateful appreciation, in behalf of the Executive Committee, for the invaluable assistance rendered.

Sincerely yours,

Benjamin F. Franklin
