Show MOTORCYCLE HELPING TO EASE SITUATION Here's what Lon Claflin, local agent, has to say of the Indian motorcycle: "Many transportation and general utility problems are being solved these days by the motorcycle, and it is certain cer-tain that the canomical. and capable power two-wheeler is playing a big part in the national campaign for time, and money saving. "That's the conclusion reached by the makers of Indian motorcycles. Two out of every five Indians sold of late have gone into utility service, largely due to their established reputation for long wear low upkeep, and moderate initial cost. " Progressive, .merchants everywhere are using motorcycle with Vans for light delivery work, in preference to the antiquated an-tiquated horse and wagon system. "Men in all lines of business, which call for steady daily travel are adopting the steel steed because it gets them over the ground quickly, dependably and pleasantly, and because it doesn't hit their wallets noticeably with gasoline or repair charges. Factory workers are buying motorcycles by the thousand, thus dodging trolley fares and delays, and on all sides the sturdy chugger in utility service is making good. "Early spring signs indicate that there will be a remarkable increase in the number of motorcycles used for recreation re-creation purposes during 19.18, due to the economy movement which (is sweeping sweep-ing the country. "There are more motorcycles on the roads now than have ever been noted at this time in previous years, and it is significant that not a few of them are piloted by sportsmen, professional men and others who would ordinarily be expected ex-pected to come under the automobile classification. "The motorcycle has won them through its low first cost and economical economi-cal upkeep, and it promises to hold them on a basis of sheer capability. "The makers of Indian motorcycles have completed plans for the most active ac-tive season in the Ilendee company's history. Its dealers throughout the country' are booked far ahead with orders, or-ders, and deliveries of the 191S models are now being rushed. |
