ServiceatYourloor Just as the Norwich Branch of the Buick Motor Company covers New London County, the Boston Branch covers Massachusetts; the New York Branch Eastern New Yo'k and Northern New Jersey; the Philadelphia Branch Eastern Pennsylvania, and thirty other Branches cover every inch of territory in the United States and for- eign countries. / Any part for any model built by the Buick Motor Company from 1904 to 1914 can be obtained at a moment’s notice. If you live in Norwich a telephone message will bring the part to you immediately. If you live outside of Norwich, a few hours will suffice to supply if. If you live in Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont it will require twelve hours at the most to produce the part desired. Any defective part not more than a year old will be replaced free of charge. If it is not defective you will be charged for it, but the fact remiains that you can get it from our Parts Department in Norwich with- out delay. If you doubt the above statements, investigate for yourself. One brief inspection of our warehouses in Norwich will convince you that what we state is absolutely sincere and true. A firm that cannot prove their statements should not merit your business. Before buying your 1914 car demand that other concerns in whose product you might be interested show you what we set as a standard, or at least half that we offer you, before placing yourself in their hands—bearing in mind that we only ask you to allow us to prove what we state and also request that you give our competitors the same chance to prove what they state. ) Now that you have our conception of service, a word in reference to other import- ant facts in the purchase of a motor car cannot go amiss. Consider the motor power of the car; the financial power behind the car; the small gascline consumption and great tire mileage. The above cannot be questioned by our competitors or users of other automobiles. As to the finish, styles and design—one look at any 1914 BUICK model will convince you that there is little more to be desired. It is an easy matter to make statements regarding small depreciation, great economy and financial strength, provid- ims, but if you haven’t these facts as we ay at this stage of the automobile business, it is have and cannot back up what you s far better to leave it unsaid. We are daily giving demonstrations in our various models—permitting the customer to measure and place the gasoline in the cars themselves, and also driving our cars over any hills or roads they may choose. We believe this to be an honest test of what a motor car will do and we only ask that the TRUTH be known about the BUICK 1914 Models. Buick Motor Company Agents, IMPERIAL GARAGE, &Ry CONN.
