Immediately above and- below show some of the dealers who attended the
Third Annual Triumph Service School organized by the Pastern Branch of

"Class,” and at the bottom, the dealers who attended right from the start.
The accent was on servicing of the two new models that grace the Triumph
line for 1954: the new l5Qcc Terrier and the super-sports Tiger 110. The
first is the smallest member of the Triumph family, and the latter the most
powerful machine yet designed by the Triumph works. During the four day
period, the dealers had an opportunity to actually work on sample engines.
A stag dinner closed the affair, and diplomas awarded to those who attended.

Three states represented at the Harley-
Davidson Dealers Sales Meeting at
Portland. Oregon which was held- for
that section of the country. December
Sth at the Multnomah Hotel. States
represented were Oregon, Washington
and Idaho. Looking at this group of
nice looking dealers I thought I saw
that well known movie star (Jerry
Colonna') seated- third from the left in
the front row. I see it’s none other than
Roy Dalton attending the meeting from
Eugene, Oregon. The fellow seated in
the middle of the table using the "K”
Model gas tank for a head rest and
wearing that Pepsodent smile is Walter
Davidson representing the factory.
Seated- to his left, also from the factory,
is Joe Campbell, announcer at many
race meets during the summer. Seated
next to Joe is Air. Howard Beck, also
from the Harley-Davidson factory.
