Fickers! Flickers! Flickers!
HIGH LEVEL FLICKERS
"He that is down need fear no fall,"
Fear not! You will fall lightly as down!
Hansen's air–kits are down in all respects. Tremendous reductions in prices previous to winter stocking. Pure para kit with cellulose seat and shoulder–pads, weighted to balance. Unequalled for all drop–work.
Our trebly resilient heavy kit is the ne plus ultra of comfort and safety.
Gas–buoyed, waterproof, hail–proof, nonconducting Flickers with pipe and nozzle fitting all types of generator. Graduated tap on left hip.

APPLIANCES FOR AIR PLANES
What "SKID" was to our forefathers on the ground, "PITCH" is to their sons in the air.
The popularity of the large, unwieldy, slow, expensive Dirigible over the light swift, Plane is mainly due to the former's immunity from pitch.
Collison's forward–socketed Air Van renders it impossible for any plane to pitch. The C.F.S. is automatic, simple as a shutter, certain\ as a power hammer, safe as oxygen. Fitted to any make of plane.

REMEMBER
Planes are swift—so is Death
Planes are cheap—so is Life
Why does the plane builder insist on the safety of his machines?
Methinks the gentleman protests too much.
The Standard Dig Construction Company do not build kites.
They build, equip and guarantee dirigibles.
