You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:16, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Albert Bond Lambert''' (December 6, 1875 – November 12, 1946) was an American [[businessman]]. He was the president of [[Lambert Pharmacal Company]], marketer of [[Listerine]], for over 25 years. He was also a keen amateur [[golf]]er and prominent [[St. Louis, Missouri|St. Louis]] aviator and benefactor of [[aviation]].<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/18177 |title=Albert Bond Lambert |work=Olympedia |accessdate=4 July 2020))</ref>

==Early life==
He was son of Jordan W. Lambert, founder of [[Lambert Pharmacal Company]], which marketed [[Listerine]].  He initially studied at the [[University of Virginia]] and became president of the family business in 1896.  He became chairman in 1923 and stepped down in 1926 when it was acquired by another firm.<ref>((cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6gyxWHRLAWgC&pg=PA469 |title=Dictionary of Missouri Biography |last=Christensen |first=Lawrence O. |page=469 |publisher=University of Missouri Press |year=1999 |isbn=0-8262-1222-0))</ref>

==Golf==
In October 1900, Lambert competed in the golf competitions held as part of the [[Exposition Universelle (1900)|Exposition Universelle]] in Paris. He finished eighth in the [[Golf at the 1900 Summer Olympics|men's championship competition]], later classified as part of the [[1900 Summer Olympics]], and won the handicap competition.<ref>((cite news |title=Albert Bond Lambert, St. Louis Millionaire, A Golf Winner In France |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/138239123/ |access-date=February 16, 2024 |work=St. Louis Post-Dispatch |date=October 4, 1900 |page=1 |via=Newspapers.com |url-access=subscription))</ref><ref>((cite book |title=Concours internationaux d'exercices physiques et de sports |date=1901 |pages=77-79 |url=https://digital.la84.org/digital/collection/p17103coll8/id/6480/rec/3 |language=french))</ref>

Four years later he was part of the American team which won the silver medal, making Lambert the only golfer to have competed in both Olympic golf tournaments. He finished 12th in this competition. In the [[Golf at the 1904 Summer Olympics – Men's individual|individual competition]] he finished eighth in the qualification and was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the match play.

==Aviation==
[[File:Albert Bond Lambert lifted by a kite at the Forest Park airfield.jpg|thumb|right|Lambert lifted by a kite at the Forest Park airfield, 1908]]
In 1906 he became interested in aviation and took ballooning lessons. In 1907 he was one of the founders of the Aero Club of St. Louis. (The Club used "military" titles; hence Lambert's title "Major.") He attended the Smith Academy at [[Washington University in St. Louis]]

In 1909, Lambert met the [[Wright Brothers]], and purchased his first airplane from them. He took flying lessons from [[Orville Wright]], and in 1911 became the first St. Louis resident to hold a pilot's license. During [[World War I]], he served in the Aviation Section of the [[United States Army Signal Corps]], as an instructor in ballooning and parachuting.

In 1926, a young [[Charles Lindbergh]] visited this home while looking for financial support for his proposed transatlantic flight.  Lambert offered financial support to Lindbergh and encouraged others to do the same. In return for this financial support, Lindbergh's plane was named ''[[The Spirit of St. Louis]]''.  Furthermore, [[St. Louis Lambert International Airport|St. Louis' Lambert Airport]] was later named after Albert Bond Lambert.

In 1925, for $68,000, Lambert purchased Kinloch Field of [[Kinloch, Missouri]], a ((convert|170|acre|km2|adj=on)) field northwest of St. Louis, which had been used for [[hot air balloon]] ascensions and the first international air meet.

Lambert, at his own expense, developed the field with runways and hangars. In 1927 he was one of the St. Louis committee of backers of [[Charles Lindbergh]]'s purchasing of his airplane ''The Spirit of St. Louis'' for his epoch-making transatlantic solo trip to Paris. Lindbergh was at the time a resident of St. Louis as well as an airmail pilot flying the mail between St. Louis and Chicago. The following year, 1928, Lambert sold the field to the city of St. Louis for $68,000, the same price he had paid for it before making improvements. [[St. Louis Lambert International Airport]] thus became one of the first municipal airports in the nation.

==Family==
Lambert was married to Myrtle McGrew, daughter of the George F. McGrews of St. Louis. They had a daughter, Myrtle and sons, Albert Bond Lambert Jr., Don L. Lambert<ref>((cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/574281349/?terms=Mrs.%20Albert%20Bond%20Lambert&match=1 |title=Widow of Pioneer St. Louis Airman, Maj. Lambert, Dies |newspaper=St. Louis Globe-Democrat |date=August 23, 1954 |page=3A |url-access=subscription |via=newspapers.com))</ref> and George Lea Lambert. George, a pilot instructor, died in an airplane accident on July 29, 1929, in St. Louis, Missouri.<ref>((cite news |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/17890909/?terms=george%20lambert&match=1 |title=George Lambert, Passenger, Killed As Plane Crashes |newspaper=Alton Evening Telegraph |location=Illinois |agency=Associated Press |date=July 29, 1929 |page=1 |url-access=subscription |via=newspapers.com))</ref>

==Residence==
2 Hortense Place was the Lamberts' home in [[St. Louis, Missouri]].

The Albert Bond Lambert House is a red-brick and symmetrical mansion which has a two-story portico with columns.<ref>((cite book | author = Nini Harris | year = 2018 | title = This Used to Be St. Louis | publisher = Reedy Press, LLC | location = St. Louis, MO | id = 9781681061139 | pages = 41–42))</ref>  The nearly 12,000 square foot Neoclassical-style home was designed by noted architect [[George W.
