BEN A. SEITZ
REPRESENTS AIR
PASSENGER CO.

Word has been received here by
friends that Ben A. Seitz, former local
mining man, is now special field rep
resentative for the Ryan Mechanics
Monoplane company, with headquar-
terS at 124 West Slauson avenue, Los
Angeles Calf.
Seitz first became well known in
this section of the country when he
aided in the development of the Tigre
district in Mexico 20 years ago. The
Tlgre project made fortune for those
interested in the development and
Seitz was one of those.
For the past 20 years Seitz has been
prominent in many mining projects in
I Mexico and Arizona.
His decision to enter work connect
ed with airplanes comes as a surprise
to his many friends. Seitz, however
does not term air work as hazardous,
quoting his last letter to A. 3. Packard
here. planning and not stunting, is
not extra hazardous. You seldom
ever hear of trouble with mail planes.
The new Ryan monoplane which is
En- improvement over the one made by
us and used by Lindbergh in his flight
10 Paris is an exceptionally strong,
stable and safe plane"
According to Seitz his company is
manufacturing planes for sale to the
public and they now specialize in air
cooled motor enclosed monoplanes.
When Col. Lindbergh travele d
through the northwest "The Spirit Of
ST. Louis" met its sister ship queen
of the Yukon" in Seattle and a re-
union was held. B. A Seitz the local
man, was travelling with the Queen,
which is exactly like Lindbergh's ship
with the exception that Lindbergh
had his wings heightened two feet just
prior to his famous ocean hop.
The Queen" was supposed to have
gone in flight to White Horse,
Alaska. This flight was called off on
account of the weather at the last
minute.
: Seitz speaks enthusiastically of the
flying business and urges that plane
be bought here and put in use carry
ing passengers throughout the winter.
He maintains that there is al need for
one here to entertain the winter tour
lists who will stop in Douglas.
