THE FLYING MACHINE
Sure-enough One Ready to Do
Business Found in ohio.

Business Found In Ohio.
We will make no exhibition test
of our flying machine nor will we
permit the examination of it. For
our purposes neither Is necessary, as
those with whom we are negotiating
now for its purchase are already sat
isfed that it does all we claim for It.
Our only market must be power
full government, and publicity would
only serve to defeat our purpose to
make such sale. We do not have
to have the newspapers tell us Of
cur success for we know, that we
have accomplished all we claim to
have DONE"
This is the final answer of the
Wright Brothers, of Dayton, Ohio, to
those who may be led to question
the validity of their claims by rea-
son of their secrecy. For more than
a year they have made no move TO
establish their claims to supremacy
in aeronautics. They have made no
flights since October, 1905, and none
are contemplated in the near future.
They are now building several new
flyers more powerful than their
Old machines, which they will turn
over TO who ever pays their price,
but further than that they will not
commit themselves.

make them and their claims by rea-
son of their policy of secrecy. At
the came time in their home town
no doubt Is expressed that they
