The Uintah. Railway terminates at
Watson, Utah. Between Watson
and Vcmal stretches CO miles of
arid desert.
And yet the public suffers no in
convenience in traveling between
these two towns, because the Uin
tah Railway maintains an unfail
ing passenger service with two
Buick cars.
"The GO mile road between Watson
and Vernal is entirely unpaved,
across an arid desert, with no hab
itation save three freight huts "
writes Vice-President Robinson of
the railway. ' j , U
"In summer the temperature
ranges as high as j 110 degrees; in
winter as low j as zero, with the r
road of ten covered with 12 inches'
of snow. The two Buicks have
never been off this route are op
erating there today." -.
Present lines of new Buick six-cylinder models will
be carried through the 1922 season. Beginning June
1st the new series and prices will be as follows, f.

Things That Determine
The Worth of a Car
The price of a car and the worth of a car are often widely different i . T
The worth of your car is determined by its readiness to meet youi ; requirements, its
constant roadability, and the permanence of those distinctive features which first at
tracted you. - i r. f '' ' -.-'V''" 'f:
When new parts, expert service of timely counsel are needed, the worth pf your car
isi involved. Then you must depend upon the dealer who sold it to you.
1 Whatever the price may be, the cars we sell possess permanent worth.
