"_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, non-conducting Flickers with pipe
and nozzle fitting all types of generator. Graduated tap on left hip.

The new weighted Flicker with tweed or cheviot surface cannot
be distinguished from the ordinary suit till inflated.
Flickers! Flickers! Flickers!
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.

Starters and Guides
Hotel, club, and private house plane-starters, slips and guides affixed
by skilled workmen in accordance with local building laws.
Rackstraw's forty-foot collapsible steel starters with automatic release
at end of travel--prices per foot run, clamps and crampons included. The
safest on the market.

AIR PLANES AND DIRIGIBLE GOODS

=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.

Remember
We shall always be pleased to see you.
We build and test and guarantee our dirigibles for all purposes. They go
up when you please and they do not come down till you please.
You can please yourself, but--you might as well choose a dirigible.
