John died in exile, others “were

Joan of Arc, met a like fate.

I saw Berle Martin today. He
was at one of those institutions
that have set up one or more to
the block getting the car check
ed for a takeoff to O’Neill and
then on to Buffalo and Riverton,
Wyo. Berle is one of a well
known pioneer family of O’Neill
who has made Lincoln his home
so long former citizens of the
old hometown have about all
faded out of the picture. He was
going to Buffalo to see his bro
ther, Merrit, who is laid up in
a hospital, and then to Riverton
on a visit to his brother, Frank.

Beginning around 8:30 and
for the next 15 or 20 minutes,
Young America strides in groups
along the streets headed for a
temple of learning. A thing of
note about this daily morning
turnout is the arm loads of
books most of them carry. This
indicates that what the young
folks are storing in their minds
is not all the fruitage of the
school room. Books are taken
home for private night study.
Those who thus occupy their
evenings will be heard from in
later life.

Just sharpen your pencil
and there you are !
%
across this broad land there arc
jf"V_ thousands of people who have
been doing themselves a disfavor.
Seems they “just naturally assume”
a Buick is beyond their reach—and
so pass up the car they’re really itch
ing to own.
Now why “assume” anything as im
portant to your happiness as a new
car?
Why not see for yourself how de
livered prices run — how close Buick
matches your own budget —how fre
quently it is priced under some cars
you may be considering?
Then —if there is a particular car in
mind—sharpen up your pencil a little.
Is it a six —or an eight, like Buick?
If an eight, is it a valve-in-head eight?
That adds a plus in efficiency, you
know, even without the extra edge
of Buick's Fireball power.
Will you ride on four soft coil springs,
as in Buick—or on only two? Will the
d’dve be through a sealed torque-tube
that keeps the rear wheel assembly
firmly aligned? It is in a Buick.
I>o you get soft, low-pressure tires
as part of the price —or as extras?
Will you have bumper guards built
as part of the bumper, or a one-piece
cast metal grille that can be costly
to repair or replace?
Docs the price include air cleaner;
oil filter; dual horns, windshield
wipers and sun visors; an automatic
dome light; self-locking luggage lid;
a single key for all locks?
And is there an automatic drive*, or
one in which gears still shift in
normal driving?
Y„ , sharpen your pencil—and there
you will be, in a Buick.
Whether it’s a SPECIAL, a SUPER or
a lordly RoadmASTER, you’ll be driv
ing the big buy of its price class, and
getting a rich bonus of driving com
fort, driving thrill and “fashion-first”
styling.
But you have to make the first move.
You are the one who has to find out.
How about starting now—with a call
on your Buick dealer?
