These beauteous screen starlets, and the Bulck car too, will appear In many of the year's leading
motion pictures. The car, a convertible phaeton, is one of a fleet of 12 Buicks recently purchased by War

bile: 8.5 per cent used rail facilities;
approximately 5 per cent went by
boat; 1.2 per cent by plane, and 1
per cent by bus. Overnight accom
modations finished as follows: Hotels,
about 61 per cent; tourist homes, 20
per cent: tourist camps, 12 per
cent; and- summer camps and cot

More than half the tourists report
ed they had chosen vacation object

cause of recommendations of friends,
while approximately 10 per cent were
Influenced by advertisements.
"In the tourist industry." the A.
A. A. points out, "as In any other
business, the backbone of patronage
Is made up of satisfied customers
plus advertising to bring a constant
stream of new visitors."
The extremely high rate of touring
mobility Is shown by the fact that
approximately 54 per cent prefer to
tour over a wide area rather than go
to a fixed point and spend the
greater part of the vacation there.
The northeastern states, compris
ing New England and New York,
ranked first In popularity, largely
because of their accessibility; good
roods was the principal reason given

IF you know a leader when you meet
one, you'll see the moment you try
this sparkling Buick why it's called the
out-in-front car of the year.
You'll go for the way it goes for you
serene, steady, gallant as the figurehead
on a buoyant ship you're in for a thrill
every time you put it into action.
You handle a wheel that turns as easy
as the pages of a book. You press the
treadle and sink inches deep back in
the soft cushions with the swoop of its
take-off.
You click off miles by the score, the
hundred and no matter how far you
range or what gait you travel, you
can't get a whine out of that softly
whispering engine!
The answer is you've got a car
that was born to go places the way
you want to go-smoother, safer,
steadier than any car you've
known.
Power in this flashing Buick is
the power of eight straight
valve-in-head cylinders. Its

gait is the level gait of a car built close to
earth with enough bulk to hold it there.
Its maneuverability is the quick mobility
of a charger.
Yet the crowning touch of its creators
was none of these but the figures they
succeeded in writing on its price tag. The
hard-to-realize fact is that this great
straight eight can be bought for less than
some of today's sixes ! .

for choosing this territory; historic

most Important consideration: ell
mate third; and good accommoda
tlons, fourth. The western states
were rated very high on scenery, low
oi roads, favorably on cllmat and on
the friendliness and hospitality of
the people; the lack of traffic con
gestion added greatly fto the popu
larity of the western territory. Of
the southern states, Florida predomi

In order of popularity, were: Boston,
Chicago. Sen Francisco. Los Angeles,
New Orleans and Denver.
The motrlsts surve; i 1 were vol
uble In their complaints against the
highway numbering system, particu
larly In urban zones. The majority
of the criticisms were directed against
the fact that In a great many cities
numbered routes are hard to follow
because the highway numbers are
placed at too tnlrequci intervals or
are not well placed so that they can
be easily seen In the confusing wel
ter of signs end lights along city
streets. Many also compltaned about
route markings at Intersections,
pointing out that rarely is the mo
torist given advance warning of the
turn of a numbered route.
Regarding speed, most of the mo
torists said they considered 50 miles
an hour a safe speed when touring
on the open highway. Other opin
ions ranged between 70 and 35 miles,
while less than 1 per cent of the
replies voted for such extremes as
80 or 30 ml lea per hour.
The length of vacations reported
ranged from a few days to a year,
