Badger, it looks like there was stiff competition for motorcycle sales in 1914. I have the May 1915 Popular Mechanix that is loaded with motorcycle ads. Here's a couple from Milwaukee. HD ad -producer for almost 14 years is funny

Quick question... my dad has a bunch of old Popular Mechanics magazines... and I was wondering do you CUT OUT the ads? OR just leave them in the magazines? I kind of hate to cut up the old books.

I did notice Detroit Triumph in Shelby Twp is no longer.

There was a Triumph brand motorcycle produced in Detroit 1912-1913 by Triumph Manufacturing Co on East Woodbridge Street. Word of this motorcycle concern was reported in March of 1912 and by July they were in production and filling orders numbered at 2000 units. By November they had receivership issues which they staved off temporarily but eventually succumbed to in April of 1913 with company assets being sold in May 1913 including 25 complete tested cycles and parts available to assemble 100 more.

Since this is the Advertisement section a 1913 Goodyear ad with Triumph Manufacturing Co in Detroit named follows.

Thank You for clearing this up Badger. I've always wondered about the Detroit Triumph connection. For years i tried to get any information in regard to this manufacturer, but to no avail. I might have to take you up on the skinny with the old newspaper clipping.
