May he did not know, being so Blissfully young; but we, of course, are aware that Fa r Time stowed tin wedding anniversaries in his back along with hoop mttic years ago, skirts, shakers and Merry Widow hats. Whether he will atter these has-beens in the rotlight again only time can tell. And. you notice, Time isn't much for talking. time comes, He just acts when the But, anyhow, the sole concern of this nt is that tin wedding s have gone out of fashion at the daughterindaw is goir to say when that cartload of denatured stuff is hauled to stylish home-— naturally, it must be stylish if her husband matches his pongee poi a story vet to be told, but he one little something about & progres fve matron who accented her wish in a recent stack of invitatior out for her 10 years of mart and downs: “1916-1926—Aluminum.” There was no minder like that over time-honored cheap ware more expensive stuff.

It removes gases and vapors from the crankcase and expels them through an ejector tube, before they can penetrate the car’s interior. Even with all windows closed, the air inside Buick closed cars is free of engine fumes, at every speed. This is a luxury never before attained in closed car construction. The Vacuum Ventilator is one of the big reasons why the 1927 Buick is the Greatest Buick Ever Built! Drive one : of these new Buicks and notice the difference!
