They All Praise Buick
Ask any garageman, any mechanic, in fact,
any person v. ho knows motor cars, what he
thinks about Buick. Invariably he will tell
you that Buick is .1 thoroughly good, high
grade and dependable automobile and that a
person makes a genuinely satisfactory invest
ment when he buys one. Then ask the Buick
owners you know what they think about
Buick. Do these things and you wall quickly
understand why Buick lias sold over one
million motor cars and why you, too,
should own a Buick.
