io Advertisements. MARCH 21, 1940. (T^!^^(r!^»^^Gr!^!(^^<7^^^ Life depends on a silken thread THE CATERPILLAR CLUB Membership for Life The Caterpillar Club was founded in 1920. There is only one qualification for membership : it is reserved exclusively to those who have saved their lives with Irvin Air Chutes. The only class of membership is life, and the sole privilege, its continued enjoyment. Prior to the present war, the number of enrolled members exceeded two thousand but it is believed that many who are qualified have not reported their eligibility. Many of the personnel of the flying services engaged in the war have already successfully used the Irvin Air Chutes in extreme emergency and, as it goes on, the membership of the Caterpillar Club will expand week by week. Leslie L. Irvin, inventor of the Irvin Air Chute and founder of the Caterpillar Club, is anxious that the records of the Club be kept as complete and up to date as possible. He therefore invites all who are now, or who may become, eligible to communicate with him. Their names will be recorded in the Club Register and on the gold Caterpillar which is sent to each member on enrolment. LESLIE L. IRVIN, THE IRVING AIR CHUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN LIMITED LETCHWORTH, HERTS, ENGLAND 5Z<&W^<Z^W^!l*?to*^<*J>W^
