AIRSHIP
Solves the Problem of Aerial Navigation

| tions, banners bearing their names and
that of the articles manufactured by
them.
| The Baldwin airship is, in a sense.
an aerial automobile. Its system of
propulsion is by motor, operating on
| the same mechanical lines as the au-
| tomobile. The Baldwin machine car
ries 16-horse power engine, which
weighs but SO pounds. The price of a
Baldwin airship is relatively small as
compared with an automobile. num-
Der of wealthy men have already eX-
pressed their intentions of buying an
airship for their own use and pleas
ure, and there is no doubt that within
comparatively short time these
sportsmen will compete for large
purses as they are now doing with
their horses, yachts and automobiles.
The relative danger to life or limb, it
is proven, is not as great as in auto
mobiling. Capt. Baldwin has in his
! career had charge of 5000 ascensions
already and has himself gone up over
500 timesa and has never had the
slightest accident, mot even skinned
finger
The company has recently been ex-
hibiting at the Los Angeles Chutes
before $1,000 people. and by contract
has been receiving so per cent of the
gross receipts, approXimating $500 for
the two weeks. The company has con-
IN Gpnh Mr Baldwin and his
chief assistant, Mr.. Knabenshue, to
Florida with number Of machines for
the purpose of giving paid exhibits for
the Plant Railway system of hotels,
county and township exhibits, etc. The
company has made a contract with
Thompson & Dundy for flight from
Luna park, Coney Island, around the
Statue of Liberty in New York harbor
and return daily for one week, for
which the company will receive a very
large amount of money.
AS a means of coast defe ", it is
far superior to modern Notifications
with their expensive armament of
floating coast defense vessels. One
man In a Baldwin airship can destroy
a hostile fleet or coast defense fortifi-
cations of an enemy more quickly and
surely than any offensive tactics now
in vogue. 1t will also be of inestimable
value in discovering the location of any
hostile fleet, the exact strength of for
tifications, location of batteries. etc.
The terrible destructive power of an
airship carrying high explosives which
may be dropped into an enemy's camp
at an altitude beyond the range of the
enemy's shot and shell is a matter that
will have to be reckoned with in all
wars of the future. That this feature
of aerial navigation has come to be re-
garded as tangible factor is empha-
sized by the fact that the various gov
ernments are now devoting great sums
of money for experimentation and Of

The navigation of the air has been
the dream of all ages Man has always
sought a way to travel rapidly and
unhampered over rivers, deserts,
swamps, mountains, forests, ravines'
precipices, icy fields and the sea. For
years experiments have been con-
Quoted and large amounts of money
have been spent in all countries in
building all kinds Of contrivances to
attain this object. The airship and
the submarine boat, which we have
read about twenty years ago in Jules
Verne's works as a stretch of imagin-
alton, are today an indisputable fact.
Both were needed The one is today
as far advanced as the other, and
both from now on will render inVal-
liable service to governments and the
public in times of peace and war.
Thousands and thousands of people
at the st. Louis exposition and recent
ly in Los Angeles have seen with their
own eyes practical demonstrations of
the Baldwin airship, and are witnesses
to its complete success.
The Baldwin airship is the result of
many years of experiment, upward of
$4,000 Expense, and Capt. Baldwin, its
inventor, has profited by the costly
experiments and has avoided the mis-
takes of all former inventors.
The stage of invention and expert
mentation, having been carried through
by private means, and the Baldwin
airship brought to the operating point,
the Baldwin Airship company has now
acquired the full rights of Capt. Thos,
S. Baldwin in his airship inventions
and an opportunity is now given to
the public to participate in the success
of this great enterprise.
An investment in the shares of this
company promises to become in very
short time exceedingly profitable.
The Baldwin airship is the first and
only practical machine to successfully
navigate the air
The entire world is it's market, and
every government on earth will be a
customer for Its army and navy.
The revenues or the company VIII be
derived from the manufacture and sale
of large number of airships to pri-
vate individuals, transportation and
express companies for carrying of
mail. etc, to isolated districts; for
the use of explorers for the purpose
of reaching heretofore inaccessible re-
gions. Large revenues will be derived
from the gate receipts of public ex-
hibitions and from numerous amuse-
ment parks and institutions and hun
dreds of county fairs to be held
the United States. The
average net returns for each paid ex-
hibition may be conservatively esti-
mated at $1,000. AS an advertising
important additional revenues
will be received from manufacturers to
display during flights at public exhibit

SANTA MONICA, Feb. 11.-Who will
be queen of the carnival? Will fair
representative of Ocean Park have the
honor of wearing the royal robes and
riding in a chariot, the envy Of her less
favored sisters or will that much
coveted distinction fall to the lot of u
Santa Monica maid? AT this time
speculation is rife AS to the probable
outcome. South enders claim that
Ocean Park can be depended upon to
win out as usual and the Santa Moni-
cans aren't losing any sleep through a
dread of being humiliated on the glad
occasion. The carnival is scheduled
to hold forth from March II to 10, and
the queen will have things pretty much

soon as the Baldwin Airship company
is able to manufacture a supply of
machines there is no doubt that both
of these countries will give the COM
pany immense contracts in the event
of a continuance of the war. Capt.
Baldwin has had extremely large cash
offers from capitalists for his airship,
which he has steadily refused for the
reason that it requires only plant for
construction to make it worth millions
of dollars. He did not desire to re-
lease his interest in this wonderful in
vention and therefore decided to TO. n
a stock company.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

LIVE-SAVING STATIONS

Within the past few months there
have been a number of steamships and
sailing vessels wrecked or on fire along
the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, where
life-savers were unable to throw their
lines to the distressed vessels on ac-
count of rough seas. Had these life
saving stations been supplied with
a Baldwin airship line could have
been readily dropped across the vessel
and the distressed passengers and sail
ors saved.

AS TO DIVIDENDS

1t may be conservatively estimated
that the net earnings of the company
for the year 1905, based upon reason
able expectations, will be at least 90
per cent, and with the closing of other
large propositions now under way, the
earnings will be greatly increased and
investors will see their shares rapidly
increase in value.
All the leading newspapers of the
United States have published very
flattering notices of the successful
flight of the Baldwin airship, "The
California Arrow" at the st, Louis
worlds fair and later flights at Los
Angeles, Cal. and the consensus of
opinion as expressed by all newspapers
is that the Baldwin airship is not only
one of the most marvellous inventions
of the age, but is a complete success
in every particular.

BALDWIN'S AIRSHIP THE ONLY
SUCCESSFUL ONE

There is but one airship in existence
at this time, the inventor of which has
overcome the conditions that have un-
til recent months been as an iAsur-
mountable barrier to successful aerial
navigation, and that is the one in
vented by Capt. Thos. S. Baldwin of
California and now controlled by the
Baldwin Airship company.

1t is only recently that the United

to be used for experimental trials of
aerial inventions. The city council of
Paris, France, has appropriated very
large sum to be used for the same pur-
pose and early in the coming summer
there will be contests at regular sched-
uled periods from Paris to points of
greater or less distances. The Bra
lillian government has offered prizes
amounting to 100000 for the most
successful airship which will contest
for this prize in 1905. Brussels likewise
offers prizes amounting to $4,000.
There are also prizes to be contended
for at Portland. Ore, amounting to
$4,000, offered by United States Sem
ator Clark of Montana and others who
are interested in aerial navigation.
CAPT. BALDWIN HAS THESE
PRIZES AT HIS MERCY.
There is no mistaking the immense
interest aroused in the Baldwin air
ship. A large number of subscriptions
and hundreds of letters from all parts
of the country are received, among
which are several requests even from
ladies anxious to be allowed to make
