Walter C. Davidson, son of the co-founder of the Harley-Davidson Motorcycle Co., and now sales manager of the Milwaukee firm was making a tour of the US in observation of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the motorcycle industry in this country. In 1903, his father Walter Sr. began making motorcycles in a small shop in Milwaukee. Walter Jr. entered apprenticeship in the factory at the age of 15 and learned every phase of the business over the next 10 years. His son Douglas is planning to follow in his footsteps. David Huffman, Northwest representative, Joe Campbell, parts rep, and Howard Beck, West coast service manager, assisted in the sales meeting for the NW dealers at the Hotel Winthrop 12/5/1953.
