Why Buick Cushions @sRide Easy

Buick cushions comfortable on all roads
because of their ''doube-deck" springs and
resilient hair pads. The upper springs, which
are light and easy acting, yield to the slightest
road irregularity. The lower springs are larger
and sitter. They into play on rough
country roads, carrying the passenger in
fort over bumps which the ordinary seat
to ''strike bottom.''
Between the Springs and the French plated
leather upholstery are two thick, yielding pads
of interlaced hair which positively prevent
''lumping''
In Buick seat cushions, in every other part
of the car, is built the quality which has made
Buick ears the standard of comparison.

Although there was, no known
estrangement and they both had sum
mer residences at Tarrytown, New
York, the brothers were seldom seen
together.
William Rockefeller departed frrth'
er afield from the oil industry than
did his brother. He was a large fac

and having oen officer or director
of a score of other important trans

interests in copper. insurance and pub
