S One reason is the strik ing appearance of this famous motor car. Then comes Buick dependability. A woman knows when she starts out with her Buick that she will "get there and back." Other reasons are the comfort in driving a Buic k the velvet clutch action, easy steering; then the' power and quiet ness of Buick's Valve-in-Hefd engine and the safety of Buick mechahical four-wheel brakes. Jennings & Shumate BYJJEALER M. J. Goss Busy Introduc ing New Studehaker Line Which Has Found Wide Favor with La Grande Buyers. M.

A variety of body stvlcs Is offered on fitch chassis. These Include open cam and cloved cars in two and four door models iu both the Hthl six and the biff M chassis. The Studehaker open cars arc not open cars In the usual sense of the word but come n m ar com bining the advantages of both open and closed cur type a-s anything on the market. The open car is furnished with a permanent solid top said to be strong enough to hold the weight of llh- car when upside dowii. Side curtains arc mounted In (his top tu a. good deal t he manner of the standard house shades, but of course much more substantially. Thus (he Sludebaker owner driven 'along In bin car. enjoying (he pleasures of the open car un til a storm or bad weather ap proaches and then .simply reaches up and pulls down (he curtains making the machine vlrt ually ail enclosed Job. The curtains arc al ways handy when wanted and out of the way free from injury when not desired. Curluimt may be re placed In thij car at slight cosl at anv lime by the removal of one boil. ' ! 1 Another feature of the stude haker 'which i decidedly an Inno vation Is the emergency brake mounled on the dash Instead of in the customary position next the gear lever. The rapidity and convenience with which this brake may be op erated immediately become ap parent to an experienced d river. Greater leverage tending toward more positive braking action is also accomplished by placing the brake handle in this location for ,ihc reason that the driver has the brake right In front of him for a direct pull. Then, again, the added toot room gained ' t,,t' absence of (he customary lever Is iiiile an advantage.
