About the book >.>.> These Nine Innovations are sweeping ones-the real surprises and perfections of the new motor- cycle year and they score for the Indian a tremendous headway of progress. They are the outcome of the most aggressive policy in the motorcycle industry. Fruits of liberal and sound financing; of courage to grow; of daring yet well-grounded expansion. But largely they are due to the Indian’s international activities. Realize that the motorcycle is becoming highly perfected and is therefore less susceptible to GENUINE IMPROVEMENT. In this light 1915 Indian achievements take on the color of the sensational. The Indian is intrenched to-day in the strongest strategic position that any two-wheeled motor vehicle has ever held. Its supremacy does not stop at the Atlantic and Pacific but stretches onward to a complete encirclement of the earth. It has formed invaluable relationships with the big motorcycle men in every civilized country of the globe. Herein lies its power. Not only for sales-success but also in opportunities for mechanical progress. Not upon the United States alone does the Indian draw for its superior thought in motorcycle building-in design-in inspired engineering. It chooses from the world. It is a combined devel- opment of all that is great in foreign as well as American motorcycle genius. A universal survey has the Indian. The results of this speak out with ringing voice in the 1915 machines. The new Lightweight Model is a brilliant example. It is directly influenced by the machines abroad which owe their lightness of weight to the fact that on the Continent good roads are the rule rather than the exception. (LL)
