This Editor Had
Difficulty—
An editor was in a hurry to get
his paper out. At the last minute,
he tripped and spilled some lines
of type. Quickly and angrily, he
picked up the type, thinking it
belonged to but one story. How
ever, it was two stories and the
following article appeared in his
paper after he had slapped it to
gether:
“William Smith and Miss Lucy
Anderson were disposed at public
auction at my barn one mile east,
a beautiful cluster of roses on her
shoulder and two white calves be
fore a background of farm im
plements too numerous to men
tion, in the presence of about 70
guests including 2 milk cows, 6
mules and one buggy. The Rev.
Jackson tied the nuptial knot
with 200 feet of grass rope and
the bridal couple left on a gang
plow for an extended trip with
terms to suit the purchasers. They
will be at home to their friends
with one good baby buggy and a
few kitchenutensils to responsible
parties and some 200 chickens.”

This is a Buick —a 2-door, 6-passenger
Special Sedan.
It packs a walloping 188-hp V8 engine under
the hood —is carried on a strapping 122-inch
wheelbase—rides with the luxury cushioning
of all-coil springing, the solid steadiness of a
full-length torque-tube drive, the extra safety
and silence of tubeless tires.
It’s big and brawny and road-steady and
roomy—each seat cushion measures over five
feet in width.
Icet this beauty—as the price we show here
proves —delivers locally for just about the
price of the well-known smaller cars —even
below some models of those same cars.
Buick Sales Are Soaring To New Best-Seller Highs
That, for sure, is one reason why Buick sales
go higher and higher and higher. More and
more people are finding that you can buy a
Buick for the price of a smaller car, so more
and more people are getting this bigger buy
for their money.
They want the bigger package of sheer auto
mobile for the money that they get in Buick
— bigger in power thrill, in roomy comfort,
in riding steadiness, in structural solidity.
They want the added prestige and pleasure
of owning Buick styling and size —and the
added safety and sureness of Buick road
ability and handling ease.
1 hey w ant, too, the spectacular performance
and better gas mileage of Variable Pitch
Dynaflowf—yours at modest extra cost.
And they certainly want the choice Buick
offers of a car in every price range, with
each one the buy in its field —the low-price
Special, the supremely-powered Century,
the extra-roomy Super, and the custom
built Roadmaster.
Why don't you come in for a visit and see 8
how much real automobile your money can
buy here?
