WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, Va., Oct. 6.—More than eight per cent of the total tax burden of the nation in 1921 was collected from three agencies of transporta- ion, the motor car, steam and electric railways according to figures presented today to the National Tax association by John E.

Buick four-wheel brakes new brougham added to the Jewett line this month at a price almost that of the touring car. It is finished in baked enamel by @ new process, providing a lasting lustre, yet for the first time in auto- mobile history is the bedy built on a hardwiod frame. Heretofore it has been a recog: nized. ithposstbile feat to produce a ma ' i the braking the braking wii last longer. They require less adjustment and the linings do not wear down as quickly, Simple in construction and positive in action, Buick four- wheel brakes give added safety under all circumstances. They are of the Buick external contracting type and each brake has a three-quarter wrap or grip instead half-way grip. of the usual - Buick four-wheel brakes are operated with a slight pressure on the service brake pedal. They act quickly, emoothly end easily. All 1924 Buicks (both fours and sixes) have these new four- wheel brakes. In addition, the 1924 Buicks embody further advancements in power, in construction and in beauty that make Buick more,than ever “the Standard of Comparison”. CASPER BUICK COMPANY 132 N.

Most automobile bodies with a baked enamel finish are constructed with steel frames, forcing the loss of the flexibleness found in wooden framed closed bodies, By the new process used in the manufacture of this new Jewett body every panel is dipped and baked individually before being at- tached to the frame. The wood never experiences the enormous heat cessary to bake the enamel prope! ‘The all-steel panels which entirely sheath the new Jewett brougham re- celve three coats of enamel, three bakes, and three polishes. They are finished the same outside and in- side. If you were to rip off the upholstering on the inside of the brougham, the same high finish would be found on the inside of the panels, This type of construction not only illows a high bake but also premits certain radical changes to be made in other construction methods em. ployed building quality closed These are priycipally in and window cotstruction of the new Jewett brougham. The doors on all quality auto- mobiles today have concealed stop: built-in at some extra expense. The new Jewett brougham has a similar concealed stop, doing away entirely with the leather stop protruding in side the body. The door opens to a point where it forms a right angle with the body and is automatically checked, without the least strain on the hinges by this new type of a stop. Another is the overcoming of the possibility of a ruined body result ing from a crash, The owner need not worry if he- finds his side a ed. The brougham can be taken to a nearby service station and new panel substituted within a few minutes. The Jewett is again its normal self, here is also the reinforcing of each reinforcement used at every joint. Not only is the quietness of the wooden flexible frame found in this high bake enamel finished brougham but every squeak and possible loose fitting 1s also elim! nated by extra reinforcing. The “reinforcing of reinforce ments" Lies in the method by which the steel panels are fastened to the frame. They hold the joints in per- fect position. A bead running around the body from left cowl to right cowl is bolted over this rein forcement, in turn acting as a rein- forcement. in WILL BE EXRIBITED BY DEALERS THREE .
