Iowa's First Flyer
| Carl Bates in his airplane. The bottom half of the card shows the beginning of a race between Bates' invention and an automobile. Bates was from Clear Lake, Iowa, where he experimented with gliders. He made the first flying "hop" in his invention while living in Chicago, thus becoming both the first Iowan and the first Chicagoan to fly. |
