Window Washing
Let by County Court
Because no one could recall if
the windows of the old Marion
v.oumy vouruiouso naa ever ueen
washed, is no reason why those
of the new marble structure
should not be cleared now and
then, the county court agreed
Monday in awarding the Job to
the A. B. C. Window cleaners.
The cost will be $200 per wash
ing. Oliver Rickman, building cus
todian, said his force of janitors
did not have the equipment to do
such an extensive window wash
ing job. Moreover, if a janitor goes
higher than eight feet on such a
job, additional insurance is need
ed. The court also decided to pur
chase folding scaffolding which
will be needed to replace lights
in the many fixtures as well as to
clean the Venetian blinds.
Early white settlers in Amer
ica brought lice, fleas, bedbugs,
clothes moths, mites, bots, grubs,
and flies says the National Geo

--AND MX GOODTIPPOR YOU
WHEN it comes to sales, every
car maker aspires to be up at
the top of his price class.
Which is only natural. Popularity
like that means success.
We know, because for years Buick
has held such an envied position t
thc unquestioned sales leader in its
class. And with good reasons in
styling, room, power, value.
But today, folks like you have
pushed Buick success even beyond
such bounds.
Today, the top sales standings of a
full generation have been changed
Today, latest sales figures for the
first four months of 1954 reveal this
phenomenal fact:
In total national volume, regardless
of price class, Buick is outselling
all cars in America except two of
the so-called "low-price three.'
That's a tip too good to pass up.
TW the tip-off that Buick must
have the hottest styling of the times
and the sweetest performance of
the year.
More important, that's the tip-off
that Buick prices are well within
the reach of more and more people
and that such prices buy a lot
'more automobile per dollar.
So why not look into the tomorrow
styled Buick that puts you so far
ahead today?
Co live in, or phone us this week for
a demonstration, fhen you can
judge for yourself that Buick really
is the beautiful buy by far.
