SIMPLEX AUTOMATIC......SERVI-CYCLE, ND SIMPLEX WAS FOUNDED BY PAUL TREEN IN LOUISIANA,IN 1935. .HE WAS THE FATHER OF LOUISIANA GOVERNOR DAVE TREEN WHO WAS BORN IN 1928. THE SERVI-CYCLES AND SIMPLEX WERE LIGHT WEIGHT CYCLES MADE FROM 1935 TO 1960. ONLY HARLEY AND INDIAN WERE MADE LONGER THAN SIMPLEX. THESE ARE THE ONLY CYCLES MADE IN THE DEEP SOUTH, NEW ORLEANS) DAVE TREEN WAS V. PRESIDENT OF THE SIMPLEX MANUFACTURING CORP.
