Buick Continues
its Leadership
' For the arvcnth consecutive year Buick hat first
choice of space at the National Automobile
Shows. This signal honor is awarded annually by
the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce
to the manufacturer member having the largest
volume of business for the preceding twelve
months.
In winning and in maintaining this enviable
position year after year, Buick has demonstrated
conclusively that the true value of any automo
- bile is reflected in the consistency with which
the public buys it.
Since the of t .e 1925 Buick models,
public patronage ha: increased to an even
greater degree >

Some Remedies
In conclusion Mr. Waiter
j ten principles of business efficie- cv
1 in coun'y administration that would

j funds. , ■
1. List all property at a uniforr
' rate of valuation.
2. Attach a heavy penalty to will'
*ul concealment of taxable wealth.
3. Abolish township accessor* ami
«ll other township officers
•4. Aboli-.?. the i ffiee of count"

5. Collect all un|>ail taxe.* from
»-*rsor,al property if tiotsible. la- 1
-hould be sold a a last ie--«rt ami
hen it should lie a bona fi*ie sale.
Kxcept in tiie |oore..t countie*
put all officers on a salary basis:
'very fee ami commimssien to be col
lected ard accounted for.
Devise and install a s>mn!e ami
