Sir Thomas Whitaker contributes
to a popular magazine a most inter.
esting article. which is a valuable con-
tribution to temperance literature.
Not only will such an article in a pop
ular magazine do much good. but 1t
shows which way popular opinion is
lowing. Sir Thomas Whitaker sums
up in these words: The system must
be judged as a whole. Evil Is insep-
arabic from the common sale and gen.
eral use OF lntoxicants-not in every
individual case. but in every commu-
nifty. There Is no nation in the world
t~oday-and there never has been one
of which this is not true. 1t is in

lat AN UPSETTING Of prices the arrival
the Flanders -" Motorcycle has occasioned.
Why. the other makers seem to be in a panic.
Sunny, TOO, when you recall the unkind
lings they said about the Flanders go when
{ FIRST advertised it and stated the price.
COURSE THEY SAID a frstclass four
,rsepower motorcycle could not be made for
rs. even with battery ignition. And a mag
to included-utterly impossible.
III WISH WE COULD print all the things
they said in their frantic efforts to discredit the
Flanders "a" and justify their own prices
which at that time were $3.50 and SITS for
machines OF same power and less quality.
YOU WILL REMEMBER they all said the
only way it could be done was to make the
machine out of poor materials and throw them
together. They not only admitted. they pro-
tested, they could not duplicate the Flanders
-" at the price-or anywhere near it.
THAT WAS BEFORE we had begun to ship
Flanders As" to our dealers and customers.
They felt safe in making such statements-for
though they knew in their hearts that this
concern could not afford to turn out a second
grade article-they had no idea what a sensa-
tiou 1t was going to create.
SO THEY LAID TRAPS for hemselves-and
now we are driving them right into them.
THEY MUST EAT their own words-they said
they would have to use poor material and
poorer work in the making to meet the price
Of Flanders -"
WELL. THEY HAVE ALMOST met the price
and they will have to meet il and go lower
before they can sell their antiquated machines
in competition with this up-to-the-minute
motorcycle.
NOW 1T DOESN'T REALLY MATTER. but
are we to assume that what they said was true
and that they are now making punk machines
to meet Flanders "a" in competition-or that
they told hbs about it?
FRANKLY WE DON'T BELIEVE they are
making them any worse-some things are
impossible. And we do know that until
Flanders -" arrived on the scene, prices of
motorcycles were high above all reason.
WE SAID IN OUR AID that Flanders "4"-
magnetic Misunderstanding for SITS, left a
mighty small profit to US on each machine.
U WE ARE SATISFIED with a small profit
on each machine so long as we can build $4,000
Per year. And the price@Sl75, magnetic in
Dluded-has created a demand sufficient to
Justify US in building that many.
pERE'S A POINT YOU HADN'T NOTICED
perhaps: Other makers did not drop their
prices until we had actually begun to make
deliveries. Do you know why? There were
two reasons.
FIRST: OUR AID CREATED a tremendous de-
mand which we were as yet unable to supply.
The other makers saw that and determined to
supply some of it at high prices. And they did.
Then they began to think it was going to con-
tinue.
SECOND: THEY HOPED that when this ma
chine did appear it would not be up to all our
claims-and would give them a new lease of
life.

las Them All on the Run

NOT ONLY THAT: But in addition to hoping.
they set about picking it to pieces before they
had actually seen it themselves.
1T is A FACT that. before we had shipped one
motorcycle we heard stories told by competitors
of how this part was weak and that part wrong,
etc. The wish was father to the ,hought-that
was all.
OH WHAT A BUMP they got when we began
to send them over the country. The effect was
electrical.
PRICES BEGAN TO TUMBLE: First they
chopped off S2so0-made theirs $3.50 and SIPS
instead of SITS. But it didn't do. Dealers
wired them-"You must meet Flanders prices.
No use to damn the machinc-it has Flanders
name on it and the public knows"
OFF CAME ANOTHER s2s-and another.
Here and there they put on a magnetic and tried
to hold the old price. No go-Flanders had
said, mo motorcycle is complete without a
