Jurists and traffic officials everywhere are testifying to the greater safety of four-wheel brakes. Another year or so and all sales in- formation concerning the need of four-wheel brakes will have passed, because every up-and- going automobile manufacturer will be com- pelled to adopt them. Right now practically all fine cars in America and Europe are equipped with four-wheel brakes. That which is GOOD makes itself known, no matter how loud the clamor of denial. Never before has there been such a turning to Buick automo- biles as now. A QUARTER MILLION BUY- *ERS WILL BE DRIVING NEW FOUR- WHEEL BRAKE BUICKS THIS YEAR. That which deserves to live—LIVES. Be sure the car you buy NOW will not be obsolete next season—if it will, ask yourself this question: Can you afford the loss, through depre- ciation, that is bound to follow? To buy a four-wheel brake Buick is to invest in a design that will be current in the years to come. And aside from the financial security of Buick ownership—the “know” that you have within your control the power to stop is mighty sat- isfying.
