TRAIN LOAD Of
"BUICKS" COMING
Big Shipment Will Leave. the
Factory for This Coast
Next Tuesday

Charles S. Howard, president of the
Howard automobile company, yester-
day in discussing the arrival of Buick
cars in this city, said:
A shipment is to leave the factory at
Flint. Mich. May 10. and it will be by
far the biggest shipment ever brought
to the coast. This trainload will con-
sist of between So and 40 carloads,
containing in the neighborhood of $50
Buick automobiles. The value of these
machines will be about $3.50 900. The
railroad people consider that this train
4, load. coming as a special train, should
make the trip in about II days"
Buick agents are welcoming this
news, as are also the customers who
have deposits up on orders, and are
waiting for their cars.
The factory people are very much
gratified by the showing made by the
Buick cars in the races and hill climbs
which have taken place during this
spring They were especially pleased
over the fact that the Buick 40" made
five worlds records at the Los Angeles
motordrome during the opening week
The Buick racing team, consisting of
Louis Chevrolet and Bobby Burman,
are at present at the Brighton beach
with their cars. They are getting
ready for the "a hour race to be held
there on May 13 and Il. There will be
two 40 horsepower Bucks in this race.
Howard has just returned from trip
to the factory. He found an enormous
amount of business being transacted
all over the country and abroad He
went east to hurry the shipments, and
his efforts evidently met with success.

Joe Gradham, driver of the Chalmers
Glidden tour pathfinder, continues very
enthusiastic over the service that the
Morgan and Wright nobby tread tires,
with which his machine is equipped,
are giving him. One of his earlier tel
egrams reads: Covered about 900

equal to every occasion. The mobiles
for me every time.
