How often you hear such remarks as: ‘‘It’s not nearly as good as Buick”’. People make these remarks both consciously and unconsciously. Consciously, because they actually know Buick value either from their own experience or that of their friends; unconsciously, because for twenty years Buick has been the accepted standard of the industry. Good reasons, both, why you should own a Buick. gs ogee =: Exoriper East Pike at Harvard New Downtown Store, Stuart Bldg., Fourth Ave. at University St When better automobiles are built, Buick will build them The picture above shows the newest departure i in’ shock It's put out by the Bosch Corporation, which |Pacific Coast magazine of motoring.| has heretofore confined its output mainly to electrical ap-| pliances.
