REMARKABLE RECORD OF
THREE BUICK MACHINES

Manager Daniels of the Buick Motor
company's Philadelphia branch has Sc
cured records of three Buick machines
purchased about three and half years
ago which point to wonderful endur-
ance and service. The cars were pur-
chased to carry United States mail
and passengers over the trails of the
half desert country between Roswell
and Torrance, N. NJ, and they are said
to have covered 10 miles day 300
days a year. Each car has run over
10000 miles and, according to Manager
Daniels, they are still in service and
expect to round out five years in Uncle
Sans employment.
The Buick interests are now ready
for prompt deliveries of light trucks
and delivery wagons with bodies to
suit individual business requirements.

Of them. AS the frog disappeared in the
bosky underbrush on one side hlacksnalSe
in hot pursuit made its appearance on the
other. The story teller followed the two into
the bushes to what the result would be.
He had proceeded only short distance when
he found the frog at bay, facing the snake.
and with the latter circling about in the ef-
fort to make an attack from the rear His
frogship kept on turning all the time, always
facing the enemy.
The reason of this maneuver on the snake S
part was that the frog had in its mouth held
crosswise and about the middle. stick about
the size and length OF lead pencil. The frog
knew the snake could not swallow him so long
as he presented such front. The man
watched the performance for some time, and
when he left the snake was sill circling the
frog and the latter facing his enemy ON ev-
