WHAT IS AMBIT?
Electric Trouble Shooter for Auto
mobiles of Every Known Make
Even more than human is the
little machine or instrument built
by the Chicago Bureau of Engineers
for detecting disorders in the elec
trical equipment on any automobile.
With the machine, which has
been recently Installed by the Inland '
Auto Company, and will be brought
with them to their new Ross-Doug-,
las Motor Company garage, comes a
diagram of the electrical equipment
on every American built automobile,
and its aplication detects at once
what trouble there Is, doing thereby ,
what would have required many
hours without the instrument. ;
If you have any electrical trouble, 1
call on the Ross-Douglas Motor:
Company for immediate assistance. ,

AMONG its myriad other uses,
the motor car acts as a con
necting link between the va
rious conveniences that form the
machinery of modern business. It
helps to unify the activities of the
railroad construction work, irriga
tion projects, ranches and other in
dustries, in developing the product
ive ability of the individual and the
nation.
Nearly a score of years spent in
the development of the Valve-in-Head
principle have fitted Buick
cars for the important part they
are filling in the industrial world ,
today. And side by side with the ,
engineering achievements have
been developed those niceties of
manufacture that result from rip
ened experience and sincere effort.
