SAFETY WEAR FOR AERONAUTS

Flickers! 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, 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.

_=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.

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.
