panying the presentation Of diplomas.
There were fourteen men in the
class, each fitted by training to re-
turn to the thirteen states which they
represented, knowing just how Buick
cars should be sold and serviced. Each
man was fully impressed with the
fact that "Buickization" means not
only fullest attention to the customer
before and during the sale of car,
but the continuation of interest
throughout the period of its owner
ship.
