IV u r.iUUL o: quick travel can

bring you quite so close to Nature

and all her blessings as the motorcycle. It is

the open way of going, and opens ways to go that no other way can give. And no motorcycle is quite so thoroughly perfect as the Harley-Davidson The World's Champion

....,

THE Harley-Davidson knows no distance too great to cover. All the world is toured via Harley-Davidson Motorcycle. When you buy a HarleyDavidson you will receive the same government standard motorcycle that so magnificently performed on the war-torn fields of France, to which every service man will testify.

Get a Harley-Davidson

Motorcycle, with chum-

my sidecar. Give

your family the

. .

miles of fun it affords. Glide through the city and its parks, out on the long roads of the country, down its deep ravines, by hill and dale and the sloping uplands. Take lunch along often; stop 'neath the shade of a tree, beside a river cr on the shore of a lake. Go far away to be gene long week-ends or all week, cr fcr a month. All these are yours when you

own a Harley-Davidson. Come here and see the

1920 model The World's Champion.

To South Bend Motor Truck Owners

THE

E&W

ILEU

The Gary Truck Sales Company, 201 S. Main St.; (Jefferson Hotel Building), has been made the North Indiana distributor of the E & W TRAILER, the reputation-building trailer.'1 In the E&W you get more than the easy pulling, easy riding, staunch and sturdy qualities you demand of a trailer. The strong and safe "fifth wheel" steering mechanism makes it a true track, non-sway, safe-way trailer that must track the truck. It cannot snake along the road. It does not strain the truck and drag the load. Quick, accurate, easy turning and backing is another added "Fifth wheel steering" advantage of the E 6c W. E&W trailers "stand up" they're built for full truck speed over any kind of road and under full load. Radius rods take all thrust; there is no strain on the ride-easy springs. Direct draw on trailer axle instead of on springs, provides a positive pull and positive track. Precious truck-time and costly truck-turning are saved by the E&W "quick reversible" feature. Rear end becomes front simply by pulling down a single lever to lock draw bar, and raising similar lever at rear to unlock. Levers cannot jam tight nor jar loose. There is no upkeep for operation or repairs on E & W trailers, because they are non-snaking and non-breaking. Double your truck loads and cut your delivery costs in half bv using the load-and-road built, track-true E & W TRAILER.
