Last year, thousands of buyers failed to get a Little Buick Six. Wo were too far oversold. Yet no car above $1,000 had so largo an output. More men, we fear, will bo disappoint ed this year. The Llttlo Bulck Six is better known. Over 100,000 owners are urging friends to get it. And all Motordom must now concede its supremacy. Look it up now if you think you want the greatest car that's built. tiij: ECONOMY OF IT Men buy the Little Buick Six because of endurance. Its speed, its power, its hill climbing ability aro all interesting factors. But the greatest of all is economy. This inventionpatented by Buick added 20 per cent efficiency. This year wo add a gasoline savor in the form of manifold and heater. Wo use a patent pneumatic carburetor, which ad justs itself to every englno speed. And wo put an engine primer at the driver's hand. Then note tho price. It is way below many other cars which Buick has out-rivaled. YOU'LL WANT IT You aro bound to want a Little Bulck Six when you know tho facts. If you buy a fine car, you want tho ono which can outdo tho others. If you buy a car to keep, you want ono that stays now. You will want its economy its en durance. It may cost less, in the long run, than a car at half price. Remember that this motor is patonfed. No one else has It. It has won every record that counts. In tho great endurance test it broke all rec ords. Tho whole car, as now built,, Is worthy of this motor. Every part is an engineering masterpiece. Tho most artistic bodies over built havo been created for it. Unique de vices add to its economy. A lesser car may bring you long re gret. Find out tho facts while you can get an early spring delivery.
