When Better Automobiles Are Built, Buick Will Build Them
Uestiont Why are
more women driving
Buicks than any other
make of six-cylinder
car?
ttiS WC? 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.

M. J. Goss Busy Introduc
ing New Studehaker
Line Which Has Found
Wide Favor with La
Grande Buyers.
M. J. floss i a busy man these
days supplying orderH for new
Studebakei-H. A number of the
new models arc already In the
hands of l.t Grande owners,, each
and every one of whom is ready
aL any lime to place his car in
competition with any ot Iut in a
comparison of power, appearance,
or speed willi 1 111' assurance that
f lie Studehaker will come out
ahead.
Two 'he men. II. V Oixon anil
II. K. t'oolidge are among the lat
est converts to tin? Studehaker
faith. Both are driving big- six
.sedans recently purchased from
Mr. iioya,
Studebakers thin year are made
In two general type. light nixes
and bijj sixes. 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.
The mudebiifceiH aoM here have
been in two body shades, green
and l)l'- All ure finished with
the pemunent, non-damaguble Bur-face.
