Henry Smith and built Waverley bicycles
in 1889. In 1895 it became the Indiana
Bicycle Company and turned its attention
to the building of electric pleasure We
hicles. This company has always built
the Waverley and the first car sold In
Indianapolis was a Waverley electric. 1t
was one of three original builders of
electrically propelled cars and along with
the Woods and Columbia exhibited its
product in the first automobile show. In
1902 it became one of the factories con-
trolled by the Pope Mo or Car Company
and was known as the e-Waverley.
The holding company also built the Pope
Toledo and the Pope Hartford. both gaso-
line cars and made in Toledo Ohio. and
Hartford, Conn. respectively. The pres
ent Waverley company was formed in
1905. In 1911 Waverley electric nego-

their motors in tandem, they evolved one
of the most famous cars of that period,
their eight-cylinder model, which was
raced with great success by Carl G. Fish

most daring drivers.
Late in 1903 they moved their factory
to Fort Wayne avenue, where they re-

their present plant, on Shelby street, was
completed. In 1905 they built race car

pounds over weight the officials would
not allow it to start.

In 1908 the Premier entries in the Gid

built seven four-cylinder and one of the
first SiX-cylinder cars in the country all

selling their product. employing air-cooled
motors. In 1907 they built an eght-cylin-

placed on the market. They turned their
attention in 1905 to the present type OF
water-cooled construction.
