**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 20C French philosopher?**
