I'll guess it's the Indian Chief motorcycle that was first produced in 1922 and was produced up untill 1953. So..., the 1950 Indian Chief?

And thanks for the fun Skip!

Good night everyone.

Completely wild guess here: RYO cigarette tobacco?

Was it Chief railroad passenger train?

A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL THREE PARTICIPANTS!!!

The "answer" ad is posted below.

I did some internet sleuthing I follow your “knives in the news”thread and looked at the paper you post “The Newburgh News”.
I then found some Google docs pages for the paper and looked up the 6/19/50 paper and saw the first teaser. From ther I went to the 23rd and found the ad. I enjoy your knives in the news post, though I am surprised at the number of knife related violence stories. I especially enjoy the cartoons and the history of word origins article. This was a fun and generous game you put on and I thank you for it. This site is full of wonderful people!
