G.. M. HENDEE SELLS
HIS BIC BUSINESS
Interest in the Motorcycle Factory in
Springfield Transferred to Other
Manufacturers.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, July 26. -
George NJ, lIendcc has resigned as
president and director of the Hcndee
manufacturing company widely known
for its Indian motorcycle, and his dis.
posed of all his stock holdings in the
company. He is succeeded as president
by John +. Alvord of New York, pres
ident Of the Torrington company, head
of the Splitdorf electrical company and
various other enterprises and a man
who has made marked success as a
manufacturer. The announcement was
made following meeting of the Hen
dee company directors yesterday. 1t
was also announced that Charles H.
1inckley, secretary of the corporation,
had resigned to take position of i'm
portance with the WHY'S Overland
company. No other changes have yet
been announced, and it is not yet
known who will be selected to be gen
eral manager. Mr.. Alvord, while taking
active control, will not make his head
quarters in this city.
Mr.. Hendee s stock interest has been
taken over by Mr. Alvord and his New
York associates. No announcement is
made of the details or of price, but it
is understood that the holdings of the
Springfield men interested are not in
creased. 1t is definitely stated that
nothing resembling merger is under
way. The Heldee company has business
relations with the Splitdorf and Tor
rington companies, but the reasons for
Mr., Hendee 5 sale to Mr. Alvord and
his associates are, first, Mr.. Hendee s
strong desire to retire from business.
and, second, the confidence of the New
York men in the Hendee company as a
thriving concern of much promise
The company has an authorized CAPT
tai issue of $12,5O0,000, of which
s., 900 is preferred stock and $40
100000 common. OF the preferred
