6-ton trucks. $171.55.
Figures from individual states
are most interesting. In Alnbama

truck is required to pay a license
fee of $400 annually, while bis

As the motor is built up, all

the piston must be so exact that
the pin may be pushed into the pis

'will offer an opportunity for motor
car time schedules only a little

of Chicago, and will run through

tho route, and I tonal d de Metz, re

The total speedometer distance
Is LOSS' miles, and the new route
is sponsored by chambers of com
merce in all cities along its way.
Indiana and Illinois already have
completed with concrete their sec

uestions Why
does Buick use a one-
piece front axle?
nswer: For safety and
strength and care-free service. The
Buick type is a one-piece, drop-forged
I-beam. There are no brazed or weld
ed parts to break off. In case of
accident it can be easily straightened
without the necessity of replacement.
You can depend on a Buick axle.
