PRAISES NEW BUICK LABOR SHORTAGE IN IN MOTOR INDUSTRY i Chau , E. Silsby, Local Dealer, Says The New Model "K" Is A Marked Improvement. "With tnc announcement of our new i'.'-U model "K" series," says i.iiarius i. Susov, the weil known There is an acute scarcity of ."kil led .abor in the motor trade throuh out the United States and particular ly in Chicago, it is reported today to Colonel Arthur Woods, assistant local Huick automobile dealer, "and 'to the Secretary of War, by the Kdi- tlie marked improvement in reline mciits, brings our new series bei'ore the buying public with an nstant stamp ol approval, and nvariably the expression is made, how such beauu lui types and thoroughly constructed models can be manufactured at the prices announced, with the high cost of materials and labor entering into them." To still maintain the l'Jl'J price up on some models with only a slight increase upon the coupe and sedans, coupled with increased quality and improvements is the result of strong purchasing power and careful consid eration on the part of the Buick Motor Company. Prices instantly become a secondary consideration in comparison with the different models, as hundreds of these models have al ready been sold by dealers upon a sight unseen plan, buyers having com plete conlidence in the Buick Motor Company to manufacture a series of models retaining the Buick high stan dard of quality first, price later. The most difficult situation that confronts the prospective Buick pur chaser is the matter of car delivery j for demands wre increasing daily for tor of a leading motor magazine. There are therefore excellent oppor-j tumtics lor skilled labor along any line connected with the motor indus try, for finding satisfactory employ ment. This offers an attractive field to discharged service men, a great many of whom received a thorough train ing in the handling of motors during their service in the army. The motor industry, it is further reported, has : utilized the services of discharged sol, diers and sailors to the fullest extent. Practically all of the men returned from the service who before enlist ing were in the motor industry or , trade, have been reemployed. In ad-l dition, a great many men who have i - - l i . i .. l ; ,i,;ial DCCIl I et-lllllHl UlUllf; IIIUIUI liu;t Willie in the service, have also found em ployment. On account of the labor unrest in practically all skilled labor lines, how ever, and on account of the falling off of immigration and apprenticeship during the period of the war, there are still a number of excellent op pirtunities open to ex-service men who before the wail were members of the motor industry, or who 'during -Buick Five-Passenger Touring Car- THE BUICK Model K-Six-45 is a very capable open car for five persons, designed to cover the multitude of uses to which such a car is put. It diners from the big seven passenger model only in tonneau and chassis length, possessing the same degree of ruggedness, easy-flowing power and mechanical excellence. The tonneau is even more liberally proportioned. The seat is full three-passenger capacity, set t a comfortable angle. The sides are upholstered clear to the doors with the same French pleated leather used on the cushions and seat backs! Each of the four doors is equipped with a side pocket for storing small parcels. The instrument board is illuminated by a dash lamp. Top and side curtains are made of high grade fabric, the curtains swinging open with the doors. Behind the front seat is a very convenient pocket for storing the side curtains when not in use. I! CM Better Autoniobiles Are Built BUICK Will Build The Siisbx StJc5 4- i J
