TWO YOUNG INVENTORS
THE STORY OF THE FLYING BOAT
By ALVAH MILTON KERR Illustrated $1.25
HERE is a rattling good story; a tale of mystery, mechanism, and getting on in the world that will be a boy’s favorite for years. Two youths, both born inventors, make each other’s acquaintance as a result of misfortunes attending a Minnesota cyclone. Their efforts to perfect a flying-boat that shall not only skim the water, but rise into the air, result in the securing of a mechanical education. Mr. Kerr has solved the problem of a book that shall be intensely exciting and yet thoroughly wholesome.
