This advertisement appeared in the UK motorcycle press in 1951.

Douglas was a long established manufacturer. They supplied machines for WW1 dispatch riders, and were still producing high quality medium-capacity bikes in the 1950's.

They were the first to recognise the significance of the scooter boom, making the Piaggio Vespa under licence in Bristol.

Would any advertiser nowadays, in a two-wheeler marketing campaign, dare to cite the work of an early twentieth century French philosopher?
