Remember

We shall always be pleased to see you.

We build and test and guarantee our dirigibles for all purposes. They go up when you please and
they do not come down till you please.

You can please yourself, but—you might as well choose a dirigible.

Remember

Planes are swift—so is Death

Planes are cheap—so is Life

Why does the 'plane builder insist on the safety of his machines? Methinks the gentleman protests too much.

The Standard Dig Construction Company do not build kites. They build, equip and guarantee dirigibles.

Remember

Endless seas, open skies.

Snow of white, cities of life.

Fields of lavendar, streams of dreams.

Come experience moments that only happen once in a lifetime on one of our Dirigible.

The Project Gutenberg copy has all the ads.  They're delightful. Here's an employment ad.
Family dirigible. A competent, steady man wanted for slow speed, low level Tangye dirigible. No night work, no sea trips. Must be member of the Church of England, and make himself useful in the garden.
