Over half of the total number of Buicks sold in Jackson County last
year were the New 1929 Silver Anniversary Models announced
about August 1st and available for delivery after September 1st.
During the last four months of 1928 Buick outsold its nearest com
petitor in Jackson County by more than 2 to 1 .
In the entire United States, Buick von more than twice as many buyers as arry other
automobile listing above S1200t
Such is Buick's phenomenal record for 1928. And this same overwhelming buyer-preference
has greeted Buick year after year for more than a decade!
The public knows what it wants and def in itely settled fine car leadership by selecting
Buick.
