chimes,

Automobile manufacturers always
are eager to obtain endorsements
az their cars from noted technical
men. The makers are glad, of
couree. TO have expressions of appro-
ral from any user; but nothing makes
Them quite So happy as a tribute from
some famous engineer whose very
name spells authority The motor
car makers know that these men. as
rule are extremely conservative,
ANA that they will not put their en-
dorsement of any product i'm plain
black and white until they are abso-
ntely sure OF their ground, not from
one or two angles. but from every
possible viewpoint
Men whose names carry conviction
ON engineering subjects frequently
have praised the cars made by the
Buick Motor company and the Buick
has mo- warmer friend than Glenn II.
curtiss. the famous aviator ana equal
Nv famous authority ON gas motors.
Mr. Curusg is a firm believer in the
Buick valve-in-head motor used in
Bnick ears. a Partially which UNI
douatedly springs partly from the
fact that he uses this type. of motor
i'm his aeroplanes. Mr.. Curtiss re-
Gently wrote the Buick company q
lone letter in which he paid a high
tribute to the valve-in-head motor,
saying he had found that type of mo-
tor Gar more efficient i'm an classes Of
Worl, than any other type.
shortly after the 1916 Bucks We're
announced there came to the Buick
factory a letter from one OF the most
famous engineers i'm the country, Mr..
j o. Wallis, general superintendent
Of motive power for the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad company Mr. Wallis, who
is known the world over as an au-
thoriy on both steam and gasoline
engines. wrote a strong endorsement
OF the Buick five passenger touring
car and told of a ride he had enjoyed
In this car up the famous BuCkhorn
mountain road at Altoona, Pa His
letter. in part said. IL had a ride
last night up the siy-mile Buckhorn
mountain road i'm your new fve-pas-
senger Six, and / have never seen
such a performance on that grade as
this car made"
This tribute, coming from a man OF
Mr. Wallis standing in the engineer
ing world is highly priced by Buick
"
lis speaks wholly from the keenest
Kind Of engineering knowledge, and
no manufacturer could obtain an en-
dorsement from him unless it were
richly deserved. Like all other en-
glneers Mr. Wallis judges all meehan-
zeal things with an extremely critical
eye.
Mr.. Wallis, besides his work with
steam engines, designs and builds
gasoline tractors for use in the Penn
sylVania freight yards, and SO far
famed is he in this line of work that
experts travel TO Altoona from all
parts of the world to consult with
MN and to inspect and study the
products OF his genius.
Consequently, when Mr.. Wallis says
pr q car that it exceeds any perform
ance he ever witnessed it is praise
from very high source-and praise
That is very highly appreciated by the
men who build Buick motor cars.
These famous automobiles are rep
resented by j. Korber & Co., who arc
me distributors for the state of New
Mexico, and the Bucks are so popu-
lar in this state that they have q
hard time supplying advanced orders
IN order to catch up so says AL.
bert Korber, his firm recently placed
with the factory at Flint, Mich, an
order for ten car loads of the 1915
sN-cylinder machines and he hope.
when they arrive, which will be il
short time, that certain standing or.
aers viii be promptly filled. About
ten days ago two car loads We're re.
eeived for immediate delivery tho
following Albuquerque citizens, J. r
Mclaughlin, Or. A. G. Shortle, Dr. w
A. Lovelace and Or. IL. J. Lavender
taking a car each.
