Btatc Hlstcrlul Itttet 1Kb tmi-WitM Uvibtmt $K . TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, NEB., MARCH n, 1913. No. 13 Jprtfr m& BUICK ' ." I VUl The Car that Sells by the Train Load. More than $2,000,000 worth of Buicks have been shipped out of Flint by the train load in the past thirteen months. Buick export shipments have been more; tfian $1,000,000 in the past three months. THE REASON The famous Buick overhead valve motor is guaranteed to have more power and more speed than anv other type of motor on the market. It will pull stronger on low grade gasoline than any other type of motor ever built and tho fuel consumption is less. With the cost steadily going- up, fuel consumption is an im portant consideration. Read what this owner says: "I have run my Buick 45,000 miles in three years; and it has cost me only $17.70 for repairs. It has never been laid up and is giving me as good service today as it did the day I bought it. I get about 20 miles to every gallon of gaioline. Buick spells economy and it doesn't take a mechanic to run one." H. B. Oklahoma City, Ok. Roadsters and Touring Cars, $950 to $1,650 F. O. B. Flint J. S. Davis Autq -Platte, Nebraska !i H Young Man.
