According to’ President George Diehl, the A. A. A. does not intend by any means to abandon any of its previous activities, but rather to add to them. In a statement dwelling on this point, President Diehl says: “The A. A. A’s past achievements in behalf of road building and pro- viding map service are generally recognized and by all who motor. But this work has now reached a degree of sucoess where at- tention can be given to other needed activities without losing ground, and the opinion prevails among our ex- ecutive memnl that more direct and personal service to the in- ‘dividual motorist, should be taken up and carried along.” Performance--- WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILES ARE BUILT BUICK WILL BUILD THEM | The dominating features of this car— Quality and Performance—speak for themselves.
