Text on back of photo: "SAN FRANCISCO INVENTOR CONSTRUCTS NEW, LIGHT, ALL-METAL MONOPLANE WITH SLOW LANDING SPEED-- PHOTO SHOWS: New all-metal monoplane invented by H. V. Thaden, of San Francisco, California, USA. It is a high wing cabin monoplane with a fuselage of corrugated duraluminum in which there is only transverse bracing, not logitudunal trussing or bracing being carried aft of the engine mount. The powerplant gives the plane a high speed of slightly over 140 mph (225 kmh). The landing speed is approximately 45 mph (72 kmh). The plane weighs but 2,900 lb (1,315 kg), although its useful load capacity is 2,200 lb (998 kg). It takes off rapidly, climbs quickly and shows remarkable stability in the air."
