standards of much higher priced

The same fine car in every respect
but now a quality closed car, !j875.
Look as you will compare as you
may you'll find no competing
values at competing prices. 1
You can prove this for yourself in
ten minutes. Just come to our show
room, examine the car, check its
features . . . and compare them with
cars you know in any price class.
Then you too will know Oldsmobile
for what it is $1000 value now for

T'hyslcians of tho public health
service hnve urged that the air

rbnnged at least five times every

lie sufficient to dilute tho deadly
gases as to remove serious danger
of poisoning. The use of small
exhaust fans In private garages Is
being widely adopted since many
automobile owners prefer to work
on their own cars but are fright
ened by the dangers of carbon
monoxide.
Tile danger of poisoning by paint
iii paint shops has been greatly re-
diiced by provisions for correct
systems of air conditioning while
the automotive Industry Itself has
learned to use mechanically con
trolled air in practically every
phase of manufacture ror both
protecting the health of workmen
and speeding up production. It
has taken the aggressive lend In a

car owners
say Buickwill be their next car
A general and impartial survey of automobile owners recently
conducted by a great organization, shows that 344,679 owners of
other cars intend to change to Buick next time they buy a car.
These owners have compared their cars with Buick in perform
ance, in economy, in comfort, luxury and dependability. And
they have decided that Buick offers greater value.
They have driven Buicks, and know the flexibility, power and
efficiency of Buick's famous six-cylinder Valve-in-Head engine,
which is vibrat'wnless beyond belief at any speed.
Examine a Buick at your earliest opportunity. Find out why so
many owners of other cars arc changing to Buick every day.
