We Announce The Arrival This Week Of
Valye-in-Head Buicks
The adaptability of Valve-in-Head Buick for local condit
ions is so well known that to sing its praises here would
seem almost superfluous and we merely wish to refer you
to the performances of the many cars we have already sold
here. The demand for Valve-in-Head Buicks is going to
be so strong that our allotment will not last long and if you
are contemplating owning one you had better file your or
der early.
ol the fuitnmer of 191!), this nation
would probably suffered a loss of
500,000 American soldiers with
many hundred of thousands of dis
abled and wounded. The outlay re
quired to train, equip and transport
and feed this vart army wouid have
be.n not los than $20,000,000 per
month. It Is quite obviouw there
fore that the sudden relapse of Car
Gernmn military power resulted In a
.'I'ViiiK to the Americin nation, of not
lei.fi than $15,000,000,000 to $20,
000,000, COO. Moreover, every r d
blooded American citizen must not
fail to remember that Germany's col
lapse was directly due to the iiiag
nlllcent fighting qualtites of the
hitherto untrained American nrmy.
"During the brief time that the
American army participated In the
active hostilities of t'.ie war, 3,918
Distinguished Service Crosses were
awarded for valiant ry In action to
American offlrern and toldlors. If
v.- iny believe the glowing accounts
which we have received of the unsur
passed valor of the American troops
In the buttles n which they were
engaged, we may Well say that these
soldier W,io received the Disting
uished Service Croses were but a
type of hundreds of thousands of
other American aoldlets Hint fought
with the utmost btavery and gallant
ry." LOT l ITH fi.tMK W.IK.
