A good buy moans moro tlmn gotting something at a chenp
price.
Quality means cost, but everybody knows the better the qual
ity the greater the durability.
We have experts continually on guard in our shops to sea that
you get your money's worth. They inspect every nut, every
screw, every single pail that goes into Buiclc manufacture.
If the quality is off grade, they scrap it. If the workmanship
is off a hair's breadth, they scrap it. It costs us thousand
of dallars a year in salaries aione, to say nothing of the lost
represented in the material discardee. That's tho money we
spand for the Buick O. K.

have more speed than ai.y other type of motor on the market.
It will pull stronger on low grade gasoline than any other
t) of motor ever built and the fuel consumption is less.
