"Specious references to the moon to

diate delivery. '
Since that time the demand for Buick sixes has steadily increased, due to the
wonderful performance of these cars in actual service.
Everything that goes "with a motor car to insure its owner complete satisfac
tionan abundance of power, ease of riding, beauty of design and finish, durable
construction is found in the 1916 Buick, "Sixes Exclusively."
