    Humorous drawing from "L'Assiette au Beurre" by Grandjouan of two motorists repairing a flat tire while a Wright-type biplane flies by overhead. The caption reads:

    "Les chauffeurs. -- En aéro, ni poussière, ni pneu crevé !... C'est ça qui va faire baisser le prix des autos !"

    [The drivers: "In aeronautics, no dust, no flat tires! ... That's what will drive down the price of cars!"]

    "Les Aéroplanes," issue No. 398 of the French satirical periodical "L'Assiette au Beurre,"14 November 1908, page 534.
