Stinson: What Happened to the Company Built by a Pilot Who Logged Over 16,000 Flight Hours

In 1920, aviator Edward Stinson, also the brother of aviator Katherine Stinson, founded the Stinson Aircraft Company in Dayton, Ohio. After five years, Stinson moved his focus to Detroit, Michigan, for his future aviation projects. At the same time, he worked as a stunt pilot and earned $100,000 a year, which was a large amount at the time. He discovered that Detroit’s business community was open to his idea of developing his own airplane. Supported by Alfred V. Verville and local businessmen, members of the Aviation Committee of the Detroit Board of Commerce, Stinson set up the Stinson Aircraft Syndicate in 1925. The committee provided $25,000 to design and build a prototype. This prototype was a biplane with an enclosed cockpit that could carry four passengers and was powered by a Whirlwind J-4 air-cooled radial engine. The test flights took place at Packard Field in Roseville, Michigan, a suburb northeast of Detroit. The Stinson Detroiter SB-1 first flew from Packard Field on January 25, 1926. The airplane was unusual for the time, with an enclosed cabin. It was also equipped with heat, upholstered seats, and an electric cigar lighter, making it comfortable for passengers during cold Michigan winters. The plane became popular, and in February, Stinson offered flights to 70 riders.

Closures signal ills for Michigan's independent pharmacies

HAZEL PARK — One recent day, Matt Marinco filled a prescription for a patient's diabetes medication and lost nearly $133 on the transaction. The two-month supply cost the pharmacy $1,933.32, but insurance reimbursement totaled just $1,800.40. “Those losses are unsustainable,” said Marinco, pharmacist in charge at his family's Marinco Pharmacy, which has served Hazel Park for more than 80 years. Some pharmacists say the reimbursement issue has forced them out of business. Six independent pharmacies closed in Michigan in October, including four HomeTown Pharmacy locations and Fred's Pharmacies in Three Rivers and Vicksburg. HomeTown Pharmacy cited financial strain caused by pharmacy benefit managers' reimbursement practices as the main reason for the closure of an outlet near Muskegon and three in the Traverse City area. The closures are part of a broader trend. About 275 pharmacies closed statewide in 2024, including 91 independent outlets, according to the Michigan Pharmacists Association. Independent pharmacies across Michigan are facing mounting financial pressures, with owners saying PBM policies are making it increasingly difficult to stay afloat. Meanwhile, the PBM industry disputes that it is driving closures, saying pharmacies have ways to manage costs. At the same time, pharmacies are looking for ways to strengthen their

Homebuyer Education Classes, Required for Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) Loan Program, Now Available for Free at Gesher Human Services

Lindsey Jenn November 6, 2026 0 Homeownership , Michigan Photo by Kindel Media In-person classes to be held in Southfield, virtual options available to all Michiganders; housing market in Michigan favorable to buyers. Gesher Human Services , one of the largest human service agencies in metro Detroit, is offering Homebuyer Education Classes twice a month through the end of January. While the four-hour classes typically cost $50 for a family, this season the fees are being waived, to remove one extra barrier to families getting into a home that they can own. Such classes are a requirement for the Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA), Down Payment Assistance Program which provides $7,500-10,000 loans to families with limited incomes hoping to purchase a home. A report by Patch in October suggested the Michigan housing market is showing signs of shifting toward buyers, giving buyers more negotiating power than sellers. Experts believe this is because there are fewer buyers than normal because some have been priced out of the market, and others are worried because of economic uncertainty. The in-person classes will be held at Gesher’s headquarters in Southfield (29699 Southfield Road ) from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.; afternoon classes are
