I i PPLY| OF BALANCE Out of Balance A LL property values are high — the law of supply and demand is working. It affects your home and con- tents. Fire may bring you a greater loss than you realize unless you increase the fire insurance on your home to cover its greater value. Talk it over with Shattuck. | | g | { tanding still, it has the eager A look of a pointer scenting game, so swift and flowing are its lines. Sweeping by, it stands out unfail- ingly from the highway crowd, unmistakably a Buick and un- questionably the year’s trimmgst fashion plate. But have you fraveled in one of these tidy new beauties? Have you seen for yourself how smooth and silent is its flow of power, how hushed and quiet is its ride? This comes from many things. From Fireball power now Hi- Poised for throbless smoothness. From a Vibra-Shielded ride that is your ever-present protection against road-noise, body-drum and vibration build-up. And it comes, in addition, from a brand-new development we call Sound-Sorber top lining. It's a thick pad of feathery insu- lation much like thaf you use in your own home, and it goes into every closed model in our 1948 Surer and ROADMASTER series. This new lining cloaks your Buick in new and delightful silence akin to that of your own living room — silence that encourages normal- tone conversation, makes soft radio music clear and enjoyable throughout the whole car. So you ride in quiet as well as beauty when you travel in this style star, You find it a great-hearted lovely that is soft of voice and gentle of manner — a delight to the travel- ing ear, the guiding hand and the passing eye. Don't just* see it at your Buick dealer’s—look into it with greatest care. The deeper you look the surer you'll be to see the wisdom of getting a firm order in now! Tune in HENRY J.
