A Great Surprise to All at Branch Man.
ayers Meeting.

ayers Meeting.
The annual meeting Of the Buick Mo
tor eompany's branch managers wal
held three months earlier than usual thiI
year, duo to tho fact that the Buick out
put for 1915 was disposed Of much soon
l er than anticipated. When the branch
, managers convened In Flint they were
pleasantly surprised to find the great
Buick factories well under way with the
1915 cars, daily shipments Of which had
been started.
The annual meeting of the branch
managers brought together all the com.
Ipany's direct representatives from all
parts Of the country, and all were en-.
constitute the Buick company's exclusive
line for 1915. Many Of the branch man
ayers brought big squads of dealers
along, and Others remained over to meet
those of their dealers who planned to
come on later trains.
The branch managers meeting was fea-
tured by stirring addresses by r. H. Col.
Inns, sales manager, @. w. Nash, presi.
dent, w. P. Chrysler, works manager
and w. L. Mari, chief engineer. Mr.. Col
Inns gave a detailed description of the
new car, outlining the refnements and
| Improvements that have been added and
pointing out the logic Of the companys
announced policy to manufacture skies
exclusively.
After the first morning session the
doors to the show room were unlocked
and the managers were permitted for
the first time to look over the new line.
Examinations of surprise and approval
were heard on all sides as the company's
manager and distributors got their first
glimpse of the 1915 samples All were
unanimously of the belief that no car
on the market in 1915 would yield as
much motoring pleasure and satisfac-
ton as the new Buick.
The New Car Described.
Not in years has any new model been
accorded the reception that was given
the first Buick six cylinder car for 1915
after 1t reached Boston. Hardly had
the news of its arrival been circulated
before there were numerous telephone
calls for the Buick Boston company if |
the car could be seen. During the first |
ten hours that it was on the floor of the |
salesroom hundreds inspected it and be-
fore night fall of the first day record |
number of orders for the new car at the
new price were booked. Boston motorists
took to the car as they have to no other |
and well they might, for the new model
has all the ear marks of truly won
derful car; it embodies all the best prin
ciples of every Buick ever built along
with improvements that place it in the
very front rank of six cylinder cars of
America. Buick may we'll be called the
leading six cylinder car builder of Amer
lea to-day, and the fact that they will
build for 1915 only six cylinder cars
proves that this must be the right car,
for manufacturing experience stretching
over years and long tests have proven
that more cylinders are unnecessary, a
care and trouble.
"From the standpoint of utility the
1915 Buick presents great advance over
any other model and 10 realize how
skillfully Buick engineers and designers
have wrought in this direction the new
ar must be seen TO be appreciated. The
