Suppose you bought a dozen eggs, and was given only about nine you would think something was rotten. ; . It is the same way in buying automobiles. Often, you do not get what you are thinking you are getting. We want to talk to you about horsepower and for example will" take the Buick. We have noticed in the Kansas City papers several times of late a Bnick advertisement in which they advertise Model 35 as a 31 horse power. This car has about the same engine in it as the Model 10 Bnick and they advertised this car only a few, years ago as 18 horse poweri Where do they get the difference t Buick 35 and 36 are 3 34 by. 3 3-4 and the Society of Automobile Engineers name " the Buick right out in a list they publish and say it is 22 1-2 horse power. The A. L. A. M. rating also gives the horse power m 22 1-2. The Model T Ford engine is 3 3-4 by 4 and while it is only advertised as 20 h. p. the 'same rating is given it by the S. A. E. or 22 1-2 h. p. They price these cars at $950 for runabout and $1060 for touring car f. o. b. factory. You can buy the Model T Ford fully equipped f. o. b. Abilene for $740. You can buy the runabout for $640. You are getting the car of same horse power and not near the weight and a car that has made good and look at the difference in cost. We do not know what horse power, is claimed for the Model 28 and 29 Buick but the Society of Automobile Engineers give the rating as 25.6 horse power. Thesa pars are just 3 M0. more horse power than the Model T Ford. These are matters worthy of investigation when you go to buy a car. Also get Ford parts book and then get a Buick parts book and see the difference in the cost of repairs. We have a lot of things we are going tq tell you and it will be worth something to you. C. W.
