If any friends ot customers of the

they pay the regular price. The
Curtis company, which owns the
hydroplane that Salisbury will drive,
would not consent to the Minneapolis
manufacturers having full,use of the
plane. during the trip, and insisted
that, with the exception of one free

like to take a trip with the aviator
are asked to hand in their names to
