Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-04-05
Reason No. 3

And that's exactly why the twospeed is
built into every Yale
Because it was thoroughly tested and
tested and tested - and yet proved
equal to every demand.
We tried almost every available location,
before we decided on the countershaft
position, where the two-speed gear runs
only at half enginespeed, with least
wear and best balance.
We selected an absurdly simple principle
of construction and yet made the two
speed practically infallible in operation.
We sent the two-speed Yale over worse
roads and up sleeper hills than YOU could
possibly encounter and yet the one
hand, one-moton control proved ever
adequate.
While in traffic congestions the auxiliary
foot control proved its utility.
Do you wonder, then, that we say ito get
the most you've got to have two
speed Yale
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-04-05
Here's a Reason

The Yale two-speed is clearly, plainly, OBJ
viously, the most efficient on the market
We say that not because it's our own
two-speed, but because it S simple fact.
We say it because it 5 built in, an integral
part of the machine itself-not make
shift attachment.
We say it because it 5 simpler and quicker
in operation and we ask you to see the
Yale and prove this for yourself.
We say it because the rider only uses one
hand and one motion, instead OF two
hands and two motions
We say it because it doesn't cost the rider
single cent extra.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-04-05
The Feminine Reason

If you do, no matter where you go-you
need never ride alone.
Because the two-speed Yale completely
revolutionizes side-Car travel.
1t makes it, in very truth, 'dream-come-
true because its great power makes
side-car riding at last real pleasure.
For the first time your companion in the
sde-Car can enjoy comfort as great as
though riding in a motor car.
The jerks, the jars, the bumps, that used
to be are consigned to oblivion
by the two-speed Yale.
And even with side-car the Yale will
pillow through mud or shoot up hills,
when other machines ''balk"
Your Yale dealer will be glad to prove this
with you in the side-car.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-04-05
Still a Fourth

But we want you to see the two-speed
Yale for yourself, rather than accept
our word for what it is and what it
does.
For your last lingering doubt will dis
appear, once you see the two-speed \ ale
in action.
1t will do anything and everything you
ask of it.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-04-05

1t has power in plenty always; and
range of power that is simply marvellous.
You can start, stop, slow down or shoot
forward through an opening, just as you
would in a motor car.
You can plough through mud, or sand
no matter how deep.
You can climb any hill-no matter how
steep-unless, of course, traction is i'm
possible.
The two-speed Yale, we firmly believe,
will output and ut-climb any other
motorcycle made.
Will you be content, then, with some other
mount that can't get through
Will you care to walk or pedal up hill
behind the Yale?
Or will you be wise ~ and make sure now
that yours will be Yale?
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-04-05
Another Reason

Now note this well-the Yale two-speed
is built into the Yale and built into
each and every Yale model.
"What of it you ask.
Simply this: Only few motorcycle manu-
facturers have anticipated the big two
speed demand and only one (the lale)
has the two-speed gear built into every
model.
Isn't that fact significant?
Doesn't it mean that it's the best on the
market If the makers are courageous
enough to make it an integral part OF
every machine they build3
1T does you say?-Iou bet i, does
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-04-05
An Old Reason

But all these new qualities that make the
two-speed Yale the mos" you can get
don't lessen the value of the old Yale
features.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-04-05
Summing Up

SO there are sonic rather convincing
reasons why it should be a Yale.
You can't get the most out of motor
cycling this year unless you have the
best tWO-speed
And don't fool yourself-you'll never be
content until you have a Yale
Because with a Yale-and only with a
Yale-yOu are sure to get the full
advantages of the tWo-speed gear.
Do you want the "other fellow to skip
through mud that you can't get out of?
Do you care to be left at the foot of the
hill while the "other fellow shoots to
the top?
WE'LL then, get in touch with your Yale
dealer.
He'll show you just what the Yale can do.
And if you don't know who the Yale
dealer is-write us and we'll give you
his name.
But don't delay 1t may prove embar-
RAISING, if you have to content yourself
with an inferior mount.
Keep this in mind: "To get the most
you've got to have a two-speed Yale. "
Don't let the other fellow beat you to
it. Act now
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-04-05

The Yale still has its scientifically correct
horizontal cooling hanges, its hinged
rear mud-guard, its big 3-inch tires, its
"Y-A' Shock Absorber.
1t still has in fork and frame more strong
drop-forgings than any other motor
cycle
To what was already excess value we have
simply added the wonderful Yale two
speed gear.
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-04-05

net this fact firmly fixed in your mind:
~ Unless you haze good tUo- speed this year you're
out of it.
The two-speed has brought to kind of motor
cycling.
If YOU doubt tyour Yale dealer will show you just what
the two-speed Yale will do.
The Yale two-speed has given the motorcycle pulling and
climbing powers it never possessed before.
1t has given the motorcycle ability to start slow down
stop without effort.
So you can't get by unless your machine has this added
ability in pulling and climbing and stopping and starting
That's why said above To get the most you've got to
have a two-speed Yale"
To prove it:

Anglo-Saxon words such as people
use in everyday talk. The questions
were put in long, heavy Latin legal
terms. Grossfurth often wanted the
question asked over again.
In closing, Healy made a play at
the jury by asking: do you have
difficulty in understanding my inter
rogation, Mr. Grossfurth?" And the
bakery worker baked and sat look
ing at Healy in the eye.
why do you hesitate?" was the
next from Healy. And before the wit
ness was really sure that he is really
any more of a hesitator than HeaIy,
came another question:
did you ever have any mental dis
ease, Mr.. Grossfurth, or have any
members of your family ever had any
mental disease?"

ed and the court sustained the OBJ
lection.

waving a gun and shouting to a
crowd: 'If you don't stay away
from here I'll shoot"
Serg't Flynn answered short and
sharp: 81 didn't see anything like
that"
On the basis of these questions
asked by Healy and the replies of the
police sergeants, the Tribune and Ex-
aminer have for the past two days
printed stories giving an impression
that there'was rioting mob around
the car when Witt was murdered.
The only crowd" of any kind be-
fore the murder is testified to by
Serg't Halligan. There were so or
60 boys and men in front of the
World Office" he said, 'sbut nobody
knew anything about trouble on
a street car until shots were fired and
Witt was killed. Then they came
running, of course. But there was
nothing that could be called riot.
The boys and men standing in front
of the World Office were as surprised
as anybody. All the shooting hap
pened in about minute of time.
There is nothing am so sure of as
am that the crowd came on the scene
after the killing of Witt. Whatever
the cause for the murder, it can not
be blamed on the crowd"
Henry Grosskurth of 2138 Jackson
blvd, who dramatically walked down
from the witness stand and pointed
at Edward Barrett as the man he saw
shoot Witt, faced fierce cross-ex-
animation from Healy. During the
past week Grossfurth has lived at the
Hotel Bradley with John F. Murphy,
detective assigned to the states at
torney's office. Healy's questions
aimed at showing that baker who
