A citizen of Ardmore has patented
and perfected a device which rend-
ers the use of airplanes safe and
which promises to be feature aid
ing the development of Ardmore
and contributing to the safety OF
mankind in all the world.
The airplane life-saving appliance
is not only product OF mechanical
genius, but the first practical at
tempt in the history of the world to
protect the aviator who is called .
upon daily to place himself in i'm
minent peril of losing his life. The
appliance in its use will mean prac-
tically the complete elimination Of
flight accident which generally |
means certain death to the aviator.
Mr.. Uttz, in presenting this de-
vice to the world at this particular
time when the doctrine of Safety |
First" is being so generally recog- |
nized and embraced, dares to chal-
lenge a fate which has hitherto |
been accepted as inevitable. This
appliance, in its application, removes
that terrifying risk and will elimi-
nate the appalling fatalities occur
ing in the aviation field. The great
importance of airplanes is world
known today, and the Importance of
this invention will be readily appre-
ciated in its accomplishment toward
the safety of human life and making
the airplane more certain in its use
in assisting in making the world safe
for democracy.
Will Startle World.
The results of Mr.. Uttz' labors
will startle the world in their sim
plicity, natural and perfect practi-
Gability. This invention precludes
argument. Mr.. Uttz holds the pat
ents on a number of different types
of life-saving devices. He is giving
to the world complete new idea
and practical application for which
tribute will be paid to his name
throughout future history.
To handle the manufacture of the
airplane lfve-saving appliance and
other appliances perfected the pat
ents of which are owned by Mr..
Uttz, new company is being in
corporated for the purpose of estab-
fishing in Ardmore a manufacturing
plant. Though this company is
new one and its products are new to
the world, it is recognized as one
based on solid business principles
and to supply a demand that today
exists and for which great increase
is certain to be felt and is interest
ing hnanciers and investors to the
extent that it will be but a short
time before going and prosperous
industry will be added to Ardmore's
manufacturing establishments.
Airplane to Surpass Automobiles.
The airplane industry will equal
or surpass the automobile of today.
Travelling through space with air
planes is destined to be the impor-
tant mode of travelling. A practi-
cally safe device will be provided in
the product of the new company.
The new industry of airplane manu-
featuring will give employment to
hundreds of thousands of people.
One company alone, the Curtis
Aeroplane Company, has announced
its intention of increasing its work
in gforce from 1000 to 10000 men,
and there are today a large number
of airplane factories throughout the
United States that are working day
and night as well as in the other
countries of the world. This new in
dustry is indeed in the way of revo-
lutionizing transportation. Remov-
ing the restrictions of beaten paths
and annihilating time are features
at cannot be overlooked in the
Iteration of the future of the
O.. With the device held un-

HNC iuw Ardmore company one
20 q y, see its present vast field,
-,n IRE is of such magnitude
,oI lily impossible to CON
ha. p of its growth in sup
- thc nand which exists to-
~ , an" ,ich will continue to in
crease with such rapid strides. The
airplane is destined to be used not
only for the carrying of passengers
in comparatively large numbers, but
for the transportation of mail, eX-
press and even freight service, and
its application in war is daily in
creasing.
Great Loss of Life a Calamity.
The development along aviation
lines has been forced to such an eX-
tent that our government and the
other countries engaged in the great
world war are compelled to train
and put into service a vast number
OF aviators. One fact that has been
point of sorrow with the world i,
the great loss OF life attending the
aviation training which has been
forced upon us. We have been com
PEELED to apply our limited knowl-
edge of aviation beyond our desires
and it remained for the mechanical
genius and brain of w. A. Uttz tc
supply the device which will practi-
sally eliminate the loss of life at
tending aviation training, and the
practical application of airplanes In
all transportation lines.
Great sums of money have beer
spent along construction lines and
