Pleases Business Mao.
It is bard for the general public to
readjust their ideas on motorcycles and
to think of them as anything but a
dirty noisy nuisance.
The business men however who have
been on the alert to render the
maximum service at the minimum cost
have had no alien difficulty but have
accepted the motorcycle with open
arms. Motorcycle delivery vans can
be operated with much less expense
than the truck or automobile. For
rural mail carriers they make the ideal
transportation. But it has remained
for telephone and telegraph com
panies more than any other class of
business to demonstrate the full utility
of the motorcycle. The Hew York
Telephone Company carries off the
princ with the largest order for motor
cycles ever placed. They recently
bought from the (lender Manufactur
ing Company, --0 Indian Motorcycles
which will be used for installing new
service as well as by their trouble
men. Watt Hhipp who is handling
both the Indian anil the Harley David
son motorcycles i) confident that
this year will see the tnpnoteh of
motorcycle enthusiasm, ' With the San
Francisco fair in full blast it is cer
tain that a great many people will
take the trip on the two wheeler and
it remains to be seen whether the
motorcycle will be accepted by local
business men as generally as it has
been elsewhere.

ECONOMY
Economy in fuel consumption Economy in tire
mileage Economy in upkeep and greatest of all,
Economy in the long run because of the everlasting
quality.
Buick cars are every day establishing remarkable fuel economy records. It
was a Buick that won the Wisconsin Reliability and Economy Contest with an
average of 21.8 miles to the gallon for over 500 miles.
Thousands of unsolicited letters from satisfied owners vouch for Buick
economy of upkeep and records of tire mileage.
For examples of Buick longevity and uninterrupted service, look to the va
rious models, from the first one built. They're still in service some of them in
our home town.
