...Yaleman Mason appeared to have been merely the tool of Yaleman Garland, who was known among his unsavory associates as "The Wizard." The first Garland wizardry was promotion of Automatic Signal Corp. to make his patented traffic light.

Two years later, Bill Boeing smashed his pontoons in landing. Unable to get a new pair at once, he set out to make them himself, ended up by building a whole new plane in a one-room factory with 30 employes. It turned out so well that the Army asked for some like it. Somewhat to his own surprise, Bill Boeing agreed to make them. When the Armistice abruptly killed all military contracts...
