proposed IL the young couple would

weeks subsequent to the above a
travelstained party arrived in Au-

will call on Martinsen Bros, where
will make you present of a
handsome Buick valve-in-the-head
| touring car I don't want to go
into a any high-sounding phrases as
applied to motor cars. They are
all too common and their force is
lost. They convey no thought
other than the Importance of the
user. But the comliness of design,
the solidity of structure, the encon-
| omy of upkeep and operation, the
ease and comfort in driving and
lastly the intimate integrity of the
whole as exemplified in this swell
Buick before you settled it with me
and you ought to be pleased" 1--WE
are" said both in chorus, "and we
are surely convinced that when
better care are built Buick will build
them"

cessories, tires, ETC., and have am
pie room for taking care of your
car, do general repairing on all
makes of cars and you will like the
treatment and service at Martin
sen Bros. garage.
