OLD HOUSES NEVER DIE? The ancient dwelling shown above, had it been capable of speech,
probably would have related much of the forgotten history of Macon County. The past tense Is
used, because the structure, buiUtby Capt. William Siler in 1C22 for his bride, has bowed out to
make way lor a modern house. It was entirely hand constiucted by Capt. Slier and an Indian
named Billie Peckerwood. The mammoth logs used in its construction, remarkably preserved, still
bear axe marks. Built when this county was nothing but wilderness, and truly a pace setter for
other houses, the Siler home was the first in this area to have glass windows, and it is believed
to be the first two-story home in the county. Th? house remained in the hands of Slier desceh
dants until it, and land In the Cartoogechaye section, was purchased by Dr. Frank M. Klllian a
few years ago. The ancient landmark just recently was razed and a new building will soon be
going up on the site. However, Captain Siler's h tnd-made furniture, truly a work of art, is still
within ine Siler clan.

These folks are enjoying something
that's being pioneered by Buick.
It's freedom from the blinding glare of
bright summer sunlight.
It's freedom from hot laps? cai ised by
the sun's rays beating down tnrough
the broad expanse of windshield.
These freedoms trace to a new feature
you may have noticed in '51 Buicks? a
new kind of glass* with a cool, soft,
blue-green tint, in every glass area of
the car, front, side and back.
Buick engineers tell us that this "Buick
first" reduces glare 18% over conven
tional glass? cuts sun heat as much as
45% ? and Buick engineers are very
conservative fellows.
^ Optional at extra eoet ? available on matt models. {Not presently available
in California and MaeeaeUueette.)

This glare-and-heat-reducing Easy-eye
glass is factory-installed at moderate
extra charge. It gives you a built-in
transparent "sun visor" right in the
windshield? and it also dulls the dazzle
of oncoming headlights at night.
As we've said, this is something Buick
owners were the first to enjoy. It takes
its place with such exclusives as the
valve-in-head Fireball Engine? coil
springs on all four wheels? the firm
power linkage of torquc-tubc drive?
and the magic of Dynaflow.*
As we've also said? rather modestly?
"Smart buy's Buick."
Come in soon and find out what an
understatement that really is.
