How can you pass Up
prices like fhese ?
AS weVe bfcen saying for quite
a spell — “Whatever your
price range—Better buy Buick.”
But maybe we’d better get down
to brass tacks, as to just what this
suggestion means.
In the ldwer*price field, this has
been happening:
Four out of ten Buick SPECIALS—
bought by People with a car to trade
in—have been bought by folks who
formerly drove one of the so-called
**loW‘Priced three.” They found
they could afford a Buick!
In the fine-car field, something
even more impressive has
happened:
Four out of five People who looked
at a Ro A DM ASTER and another very
distinguished automobile decided in
favor of Roadmaster!
^So —whatever your price range,
take a look at our prices — and at
what you get for your money.
What you get is the thrill of own*
iog the greatest Buick of all time
— as registered by record-break
ing sales.
What you get is power and style
and comfort and performance
that are hard to match in any
other automobile.
More specifically — you get the
power-with-thrift of Buick’s
famous Fireball high-compres-
sioii engine — a style that stands
out in any company—a ride with
the comfort of coil springs on
every wheel — and performance
that makes you feel like the head
man on any highway.
Better come in today —and see
what can be done about getting
quick delivery.

Will tux dollars ride these wires ?
^Ou're 70 feet up on a steel tower, looking
alono; a modern elertric transmission line.
You VC seen tlieiu—sieel or wood—strid
ing across the countryside, sometimes a
quarter mile to a step, carrying vital elec
tric energy to market from the power
plants or power dams where electricity is
produced.
These electric highways cost many,
many thousands of dollars per mile tO'
build. That’s a good thing to remember
when you hear proj)osals that the federal
government spend tax money—your money
—to duplicate thousands of miles of such
lines now in use,
I'he question comes up in connection
with the governinent'si. vast program for
giant dams oh .\merica’s rivers. At some
of these' dam.. it's Knuncially sensible to
protluce electricity as a by-product
others, it hn't.
at
Where it is economically good sense to
protluce electricity, how about the trans
mission lines? If the government builds
lines to distribute government eleetriiity
separately, it will cost you and other tax
payers many more billions of dollars.
But that is not necessary. Most of the
lines needed are already in existeuee, huik
largely by the business-managed e let trie
companies of the country. And these t oio-
panies stand ready to buy and distribute
government-made electricity along w ith
the TOwer they produce themselves, at rates
fixed by local, state or federal govermnents.
This arrangement would keep your
money out of duplicate—and wasteful—
new lines. It would allow all users of elec
tricity to get the benefit of savings, if any,
made possible at the dams. And it would
continue the present local control that is
lost when the government runs things-
