William M, Jelly of Salem is hav- 
ing a summer cottage erected on 
Norwood Heights, Annisquam, havy- 
ing bought the land quite near his 
own summer cottage, some time ago. 
The contractor Charles A. Norwood, 
of Riverdale, has had his men rush 
the work right along before the 
snow comes and the house is now 
ready to have the clapboards put 
on. The house is a_ two-story 
structure, 38 by 60 feet, built from 
plans by Daniel Howard Woodbury, 
and the architect’s estimate of cost 
is $6000. 
Benjamin C. Clark, the Glouces- 
ter contractor, has secured the con- 
tract to erect the new summer bun- 
galow for Lawyer and Mrs. Frank 
Brumback of Kansas City on their 
newly acquired property, the hill 
country above East Main street, 
East Gloucester, and bordering on 
Haskell street, near Bass Rocks. 
This beautiful stretch of hill coun- 
try which has lain idle the past 
twenty years, belonged to Arthur D, 
Story of Essex. Mr. and Mrs. 
Brumbach have _ purchased _ ten 
acres of it. The site of their bunga- 
low will be the traditional ‘‘ Lookout 
Rock,’’ which commands an unsur- 
passed view of Gloucester and her 
environs so grandly is it elevated. 
Samuel Bloomfield of East Glouces- 
ter, closed the deal for Mr. Story. 
The terms were private. 
Ex Rept. Edwin C. McIntire and 
other Gloucester business men are 
erecting a 20-roomed hotel at Briar 
Neck, East Gloucester, near Bass 
Rocks. It is planned to have it 
ready for business the coming sea- 
son. 
The new summer home at Bass 
Rocks of H. B. Warner, the New 
York actor of ‘‘ Alias Jimmy Valen- 
tine’’ fame, will be completed next 
month. It occupies a lot on the new 
golf links extension. 
been bought by Mrs. Ellen Howard 
Welch of Philadelphia, to add to her 
realty holdings and for improve- 
ment purposes. Mrs. Welch has 
been’a resident of Ipswich for many 
years and has one of the finest loca- 
tions near the water. Many summer 
residents have appreciated the view 
from this part of the town and have 
built attractive houses there. 
Traveling in the Air 
Aviation and the building of aero- 
planes is the next important indus- 
try to be developed and it bids fair 
to duplicate the immense business 
history of the automobile. A de- 
cade ago the automobile was about 
where the aeroplane is now. Today 
the automobile industry of the 
United States ranks among the sixth 
in importance among American 
manufacturers. Tomorrow the aero- 
plane output may be among the 
most important. 
The aeroplane producing business 
is already said to be well organized. 
It is rather a complicated industry, 
all manufacturers, in addition to 
production, have to maintain schools 
of instruction for their customers 
and squads of exhibition and racers 
to enter the usual flying meets. 
None of the “established makers 
will sell a machine until the pur- 
chaser has been “under instruction 
and observation and is competent to 
use the machine. In France two 
companies in 1910 hadtover 400 re- 
cent graduates in their s¢hool of in- 
struction. The cost of tuition was 
1000 franes, or about $200. None of 
the French companies are at pres- 
ent able to supply the demand for 
aeroplanes. 
At the present writing 29 aero- 
plane motors have been ~ designed 
and are being manufactured in the 
United States, which shows the im- 
portance already reached by the 
aviation industry. ‘‘The business is 
little understood by the public,” 
says one of the leading aeroplane 
manufacturers in the west. ‘‘There 
isn’t a maker of tried and true 
tested aeroplane in the country who 
can fill the orders he gets for ma- 
chines for private use. There are a 
number of weekly aviation maga- 
zines, at least 20 monthlies and the 
daily press throughout the country 
give it constant attention in their 
columns. We cannot take on all of 
the men and boys applying for in- 
struction because our classes are al- 
ways full, even though we have 
placed the tuition rather high in 
order to keep out all but the most 
determined. But we can use all the 
same boat. None of them have suf- 
ficient flyers to supply the demand 
for instruction and exhibition work. 
We start our students after they 
have become proficient at a salary 
of $100 a week. They can run that 
up to $400 or $500 or higher. That 
is up to them.’’ 
It is conservative to estimate the 
total amount of capital invested 
(capitalizing the aviator’s earnings) 
is not far from $25,000,000. When 
a fad represents this amount of 
money it becomes a business. The 
sale price of a standard biplane is 
$5000, which is probably representa- 
tive of all makes and the profit at 
this price should be quite remunera- 
tive. 
The aerial race which started re- 
cently, in which six of the most dar- 
ing of the air travelers entered into 
a race across the continent from 
Los Angeles to New York has given 
a tremendous impetus to the new 
way of travel. If these men sgsuc- 
ceed it will do much to advance the 
science of aviation and place it upon 
a firm basis for its becoming an es- 
tablished method of communieation. 
It is evident that the promoters of 
this advanced idea of locomotion are 
thoroughly in earnest and will use 
every possible means towards bring- 
ing about a successful consummation 
of their most ardent hopes. The 
public are deeply interested in this 
subject and hail with delight the 
efforts being made to. render it feasi- 
ble. 
With grave incredulity, he was 
saying: ‘‘A reyou sure you are only 
nine years old? I think there must 
be some mistake.’’ 
The boy was positive, but to make 
sure...‘ Ma;’/che.icalled, =<" Aimitam 
just nine years old?”’ 
‘‘Yes, son.’ 
After a time he ventured, ‘‘Say, 
mister, what made you think I was 
more than nine years old?’’ 
‘‘Why,’’ said the stranger, ‘‘ I 
couldn’t understand how you could 
get so dirty in nine years.
