No one receives anything gra-
tuitously in this world-don't
be n1isied by false allowances.
We believe that any sales policy
which encourages the giving of
fictitious values for used cars is
an injustice to the public.
We wish to establish definitely
the fact that the Buick Motor
Company has never followed
this policy-rather has always
based the price of its product
upon actual costs and when
costs come down correspond
ingly reduced the prices of its
cars to the public without any
cannouHage whatsoever.

Facts you should know
when you buy a car

The question of greatest inpor-
tance is not what you will be
allowed for your old car but the
price you pay for the new car
and the value received.
You are money out if allowed
500 more for your old car, yet
have to pay a $50 higher list
price for a new car when the
comparative value is not there.
A purchasers loss is only post
poned when trading allowances
are made above a used cars real
value. The deal that may ap-
pear most satisfactory to you in
the beginning may prove to be
the most expensive in the end.

Each manager is given a free hand to run

order that his actions may not be contrary to
the collective welfare.
New industries are started from time to

The Colony's timber lands are now fur

This is because they are actuated BY an

Llano co-operators realize that each must
sacrifice their personal interests and amalga-

ideal which has made Llano signal success
in The cooperative field, when other ike
communities have disintegrated.
Men and women will laugh at hardships

a brilliantly-yisible ideal. Such an ideal
is Llano's to show to the world that humans

peace; and no disarmament.
The poor those who work them
selves TO death on the farms and ranch
Is and never get ahead Of their debts.
and the billions Of hired laborers and
the criminal and insane; all these poor
we will have with us until the last leg
allied restriction upon the free ex-
change Of things is removed from the
whole earth; because they are the inev-
table result Of such unjust interference.
"A tariff at home is a blockade
abroad. both in purpose and in effect;
and is just as direct a cause Of inter

whatever its name, is an interference

Why DO the people Of the United

Of their primal needs Of food, raIment

The tariff is always made just low
