Son of Harley-Davidson Motor Company founder Walter Davidson, joining the company in 1930 after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania. He became H-D director in 1937 and in 1942 became president of manufacturing. TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, Harley-Davidson Motor Company letterhead, February 21, 1936. Letter to a Florida Sales and Service center. In part, “We only manufacture two types of Package truck bodies, namely the M and MO models and if a dealer wants any other type, it is necessary for him to have it made up locally. You probably remember that about five years ago, we built and sold a large number of Package truck bodies of various types and sizes, but as time went on, we found that many dealers had bodies made up locally to suit their needs and then mounted them on our chassis…Therefore, if you want to sell Pete, The Tailor, a motorcycle and Package Truck with a special body, it will first be necessary for you to get estimates on having this special body made up locally…We will be glad to put Pete, The Tailor, on our commercial follow-up list after you have found out whether or not you can obtain the proper body to fit your customer’s needs.” In fine condition, with a bit of light toning and soiling.
