they will want to fly: that will seem to them
the natural way of getting about. Indeed, all
of us will be more aviation minded than ever
before And the makers of planes will be
geared up to turn out planes in quantity and
sell them on time-payment plans if the
customers prefer.
They are doing it even now. Statesmen all
over the country are taking prospects on
demonstrations, talking up the selling points

With his brother Gordon, he developed plans
to build, sometime, planes that ordinary peo-
pie could buy just as they bought auto
mobiles. Working as an engineer in plants
making such unflyable things as laundry ma
Chinery and electric auto equipment, he
mentally adapted their production methods to
the manufacture of airplanes.
1t was all youthful dreaming and planning
until 1925. Then the young Taylor brothers
bought an old secondhand Jenny, rebuilt it,
and learned to fly. transforming around the
East, they hoped passengers at five dollars
a ride and put the money away for airplane
parts. And in the machine shop garage the
first Taylor Chummy took form The long
planned business was under way. They sold
the first plane, built another and Gordon
Taylor took it to the first big air show in
Detroit. 1t was fine chance to show it -
and to pick up little extra money hopping
passengers. One passenger said he could fly,
asked to handle the controls Gordon con-
sented. But the passenger couldn't fly The
