BLERIOT’S FACTORY CLOSED

RESULT OF LEAN TIMES PARIS, September 6. M. Louis Bleriot’s factory is closed down, A message from Paris on August 21 said that M. Bleriot, who was the first man to fly across the Channel in 1909, and for years the leading aeroplane designer and manufacturer in France, had decided that he must close his factory. He said: "Unless the Ministry of Air gives me orders I can do nothing. A few years ago I employed 3000 men. Now I employ only 10. During my lifetime I have designed 200 different models and built more than 10,000. During the war the output of my factory reached 13 aeroplanes a day. In 1926 I submitted plans for seaplahes exactly similar to those of General Balboa's Italia n armada, but they were rejected. To-day I have plans for transatlantic passenger machines which I am sure will be generally approved five years hence."
