THE ARCHITECT, BUILDERS, CONTRACTORS The Indian Motocycle makes it possible for the architect or his assistant to supervise and direct more work in a day - than it is possible to do with any other means of transporta tion.

' Stranee to sav. we did not directiv solicit the sale of the Indian to these men of in- dustry, but like all wise business men, they figured the problem out for themselves and, then . sought the Indian Motocycle because they thought it the best fitted for the work. WHEN GOVERNMENTS AND UTILITY CORPORATIONS install the Indian Motocycle it is an acknowledgement that they fit into a notch that could not.be filled with so little expenditure of money, and could not accomplish with anything else, regardless Of price, hat which the Indian Motocycle performs. j . - ; . ' For a long time bur Government has used the Indian motocycle in the Reclamation, Forestry and Agricultural Departments. - j " v ; In the past eight or nine years, the Bell Telephone Systems have purchased hundreds of Indian Motocycles, as they found them of marvelous value" in' the Maintenance Departments in bettering' their 'phone service to you, ahd the saving of money in the care of their equipment. . ' ' MONEY to the amount of hundreds of thousands has been saved by municipal governments for - their citizens through the adoption of the Indian Motocycle in their various departments and more -particularly in the Department of Police in the prevention and interruptions of crimes and fires. HARDLY SCRATCHED is this vast commercial field, because of the demand placed upon us for the Indian motocycle by the pleasure seeker. A year ago .when formulating our 1911 policy, we . planned to increase the capacity of our plants and decided to inaugurate a campaign that would at tract the attention of commercial men to the-vast possibilities and results that can be obtained by the adoption of the Indian Motocycle as a part of their installation in promoting and, stimulating their business. - '' : j THE CHEAPNESS OF .TRANSPbRTATION " THE SAIL BOAT is the cheapest form of transportation per rhile known to man, but uncer tain when put to use, because we must- depend upon the elements, the tides and winds. for our motive power. ' v; ' ( ; - , ; WALKING would appear to be at first glance about the cheapest method a man could use. It is, providing his world is laid out in a circle of 100 feet. The minute he steps out of that circle to travel a distance from 100 feet-to a mile, the cost of shoe leather, energy and time enter the problem. , . ' RIDING on street cars to reach a destination has been, and is, the method to reduce the expen diture of time and energy in the conduct of. outdoor business. But as all destinations and starting points do not lay on a carline, we t still have factors of walking and loss of time plus the high mile age cost entering the problem. Thus we prove that the motocycle is the cheapest form of transporta tion ever invented or known to man, and if you will compute figures based on the above schedule and compare them with the actual figures compiled from the records of Indian Motocycle users, it will more than bear out our broad statement. I . , j Gallon Gasoline .....J 1 Lubricating Oil ...J 1 Repairs ; $7.00 Miles Cost per mile 60 .003 500 .002 6,000 .001 . Total .006 These figures are based. on a record of a 7 h. p. Twin Cylinder Ind ion motocycle, being operated in the city of Denver, Colo, and vicinity, for a period of -three months from November 15 to February 15, when climatic conditions were more unfavorable and where roads were heavy and .rough. Figuring the average price of gasoline at 20 cents, per gallon and lubricating oil at $1.00 per gallon. '.. " .. -' - ' THE FARMER Today the farmer has almost as much competition in his vocation for supremacy as do the manufacturers in theirs. The farmer today figures how he can obtain results the quickest and best., but he is beset with one great drawback, which is in attracting and holding intelligent help to successfully carry out his plans. These conditions necessitate his personal supervision and attention to many minor details consuming much of his. valuable time which should and could be -placed to better 'advantage during the important seasons of ploughing, sowing and reaping, t . j The many trips about the farm, and from the house, trips to town, the littleerrands for which it is hardly worth while to" hitch op" the horse, are taken care of quickly by the Indian Motocycle. Long days are made pleas ant and full O accomplishments through its ever ready service. s THE COUNTRY DOCTOR j a The physician who has located and built up a practice in the rural sections does not have the good fortune of having all of his patients within easy access to his office, and when the call comes, he must more often journey .six to eight miles to respond, thus the length of time given tohe patient is often limited, because of the long jour neys, between the residences of the various patients. The use of an Indian Motocycle more than modifies this sit uation. , It also permits him to widen his scope of practice, and to enjoy that which every other profession and vocation give a man time for recreation. J THE SALESMAN The City and Country salesman has found the Indian Motocycle of wonderful value in seeking trade, because it permits him to visit highways and byways in which he could never afford to spend the time if other means of transportation was nsed. It takes him to business fields not ploughed or trampled by the army of competitors. By its means his accomplishments are greater, his order-book filled. j " . It permits him to work up prospective customers and give them the attention they should give them for future business. When he leaves a customer without receiving an order, he does so with a smile, and leaves full of courage to meet the next problem, because he knows that the IndUm Motocycle will take him to a place where he can land an order. j . No waiting for trains or street cars. Every minute counts for some achievement.- - - MINING, ELECTRICAL, CIVIL AND SANITARY ENGINEERS The Sanitary and Civil Engineer can widen the radius of .his activities and crowd more vital accomplishments into a day's work than ever' before. Mining Engineers and Mineral Assayers are now using Indian Motocycles to carry them to the distant hills and mountains where their work is located. The Electrical Engineer will find the Indian Motocycle indispensable in he conduct of his business in the"1 construction, erection and installation of such oz bis work as takes iiim out of doors.
