MATHER THE VVOHLI) FAMOUS AVIATOR HERE DURING OUR FAIR.
Arrangements have been made with the Young Aeroplane Company of New York City to
have Carl Mather, the World Famous Aviator, here during our Fair. Mather is considered one of
the best High Flyers in the country and his stunts will make everyone sit up and take notice.
Mather will do all the crazy stuff, and is said to be a treat when it comes to thrills that make your
hair stand up. Mather's sensational flying is said to be wonderful. He has made many flying,
trips in the big cities and everywhere he has flown he was considered one of the greatest Aviators
ever known. An Exchange, from Atlanta, Ga., says that Mather made a thrilling llight over the
city, going at the rate of sevepty miles an hour, he drove his machine through the clouds, which
soon developed into a mist and rain and he was above the clouds by this time, he became lost and
in trying to get back to the field, found himself several miles away. Undaunted by his experience,
Mather turned his machine and headed for the city again and could be seen coming out of the
clouds in an altogether, different direction from where he disappeared. He was wet when he
landed and said that he had had some experience.He was in the air just 35 minutes.
The above is only a sample of the many daring stunts that Aviator Mather performs. Mather
is described as being a modest young man, and is said to look like a North Carolina native. There
ar j eleven Aviators with the Young Aeroplane Company but Mather is said to be one of the most
clever of the bunch.
Be sure and ccme to THE JOHNSTON COUNTY FAIR and see the loop the loop and Bombs
dropped on Smithfield by the famous Aviator.

For three years the makers have maintained Styleplus at $17 in the face of war
conditions. They bought in advance, operated on an increasingly larger scale, and thus
kept costs down.
When the United States entered the war the fabric market underwent violent
changes. To meet these new conditions a $21 grade was added, thus insuring you an
even wider selection in fabrics and models.
