Furgurson Does Mr. Furgurson have a document reference source for the Vin Fiz contract with Harriet Quimby as their representative? I would be very interested to learn where and how he found it. Quimby's image also appeared on a cigar box label but I could not find a contract between her and the cigar manufacturer either. I therefore had to presume that a) the products used her image without consent, or 2) the contracts were lost. But perhaps NOT lost? Thanks in advance for sending this on to Mr. Furgurson.

One small observation - Quimby's record-setting flight wasn't entirely buried by the press, as it appeared with many photos in the London Daily Mirror.
