Auto Is Replacing
Horse On Farms
The gasoline engine, which forced
the old gray mare into that "ain't
what she used to be" status and com
pletely revolutionized rural life, has
now become a virtual "life-line amid
plenty" for American farmers. Ac
cording to a recent survey on shop
ping habits of farm auto owners, one
third of all farm families depend en
tirely on their automobiles for doing
their family marketing.
Many rural car owners drive as
much as 4.000 miles a year for house
hold shopping alone

"HE SAVES MOST NOW
j WHO SPENDS ENOUGH'
THERE'S a rule for your ""'"ger
guidance you may not find
in the copybook* ? but that doein't
subtract one whit from it* truth.
Because when you buy a new car this
spring you want one that will tec you
through many a summer.
So while you're trading it's good sense
to trade up ? up to something solidly
good through and through.
Trade up, for instance, to the Firbball
power of Buick's more efficient valve
in-head straight-eight. *
Trade up to the thrift of Compound
Carburetiont ? exclusively Buick's,
and as much as 10% to 15% more_,
economical of gasoline than last year.
Trade up to a splendiferous big
Body by Fisher ? to Buick's all-coil
- -\\
springing that it forever cushiony yet
forever free from service attention ?
to stout, ride-steadying torque-tube
drive with nothing about it to go wrong.
Buick's bodies are roomier, its frames
huskier?its steering gears go three to
four times as long without adjustment
and its main bearings have half-again
the service life in them.
Things like that really count these days
? yet they're yours in a Buick for a
trifle more at most
than you'd spend
in any event.
Go call on your
Buick dealer nowl
