Tried and Failed to Get
A LITTLE BUICK SIX.
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.
