Business men find the six-cylinder, two-passenger roadster well ‘suited both to the work day trips and to social motoring. Equally fine for these, and at the same time luxurious in its appointments end smart in its snappy lines and coloring is the six-cylinder sport-roadeter—the deluxe model of its kind. Bey While a modest, dependable and convenient car is the that Buick provides in power, dependability and flawless performance. The Buick Line for 1923 Comprises Fourteen Models: Fours—-2-Pass.

His first bad roads were encountered between Winslow and Holbrook on the second day. This stretch included & wicked detour of loose rock, which forced Bennett to ride in low gear all night. © Despite the continueus unsparing punishment of high speed over al! kinds of roads, Bennett was forty nate in having no delays from me- chanical trouble..

Extraordinary Values in Tires We know that in this age of hurry the busy man and woman is reluctant to take time to make long trips for motoring needs. That was the domin- ating reason for locating our splendid station in the heart of Seattle. A boon for the shopper as well as the business man is what this fine downtown store will be. Instead of asking motorists to leave their busi- ness and come to us we have taken a complete line of tires and accessories to the motorist.
