Thus, when you have chicks that gain weight fast, you end up with more chicks that live and grow into good producing raisers. And. if you start your chicks on Larro SureChick, you can get those important, fast gains. In just 12 short weeks, SureChick can give you chicks that weigh as much as 30 times their hatching weight! So, If you want healthy chicks, perky little peepers that are capable of with standing onslaughts of di sease and severe tempera ture changes, choose Larro SureChick this spring.

HWMi III Mil 'III W!ttttMM)99Kattl(g f l Eight this way! Every yeab, more and more new cars are equipped with Power Steering. Many a man has bought it "for the wife" then wondered how he ever got along without it. And if you have in mind a new car with Power Steering consider this fact: Since the beginning of last year, Buick has sold far vwre new cars equipped tvith Power Steering than any other car over 20,000 more in 1955 alone. That' s the record -and the reasons for it are just as impressive. Buick brings you In-Line Safety Power Steering. In addition to the one-finger ease of turning common to all such systems in varying degree, it has several distinct advantages. It gives you surer, steadier, safer control at highway spoeds-because it retains that good natural "feel" of the road. On the other hand, it gives you more power assist when you need it most -at crawl speeds and at full stop. Here, Buick's Power Steering makes wheel turning nearly twice as easy as other types of systems. Add another plus: this Buick feature works through the new Buick front end where a unique new geometry and steering linkage bring a sweet new response and a wonderfully easy handling and a surer "sense of direction" even to new Buicks not equipped with the power system. So there you are-and here we are, waiting to prove it all to you. Waiting, also, to let you try the new thrills to be had in Buick's advanced new Variable Pitch Dynaflowf where getaway response and gas Buick Roadmaster 6-Paissngar 4-Door Riviera mileage both step up even before you switch the pitch. And waiting to show you how the highest power yet, the sweetest ride yet and the boldest styling yet -all help to make this bright new beauty the Best Buick Yet. Today is fine with us. How about you? Buick's ln-Line Safety Power Steering is standard on Roadmaster and Super, optional at moderate extra cost on other Series. t New Advanced Variable Pitch Dynaflow is the only Dynaflow Buick builds today.
