So Mr. Truman is proposing a
Santa Claus act, to give us lots of
thirigs Iree, or nearly so. Who will
pay this Santa Claus? Mr. Truman
thinks he has found the way; he has)
sqlved the old problem of perpetual l
motion; in fact he has also planned l
to us the irresistible force to knock
the immovable body .into a cocked
hat. Here it ;s: he will take the>taxes
paid by all of us. to build and oper
ate plants to compete with those
who pay taxes. And as the taxpay
ing enterprises grow weaker and
weaker, and pay less in taxes, Mr. ■
Truman will print'TrroTe “bonds to
raise money. After a time men may
not-wish to buy bonds; then shall we
print rnoney? Then would you seh J ‘
your services for that kind of mon

not the greatest expense, however
great it may be: we are rearing a

There is something, however; you

• When the Government does so
much for you, the bureaucrats who |
run the Government will regulate
you, Too. Whenever the ^Government
enters in, you make some sacrifice.
You pay for your • cake when the
Government^ feeds you. You pay by
losing your f?eedom of choice and
action.
Well, what do we favor? We must
keep the road of opportunity open
so that a man may rise to the top lev
el of his ability. If you are a man
on wages, have you ever dreamed of
big things for your boy or your
ing up with car performance beyond
compare.
But, sir, when you step into the sleek-
lined traveler pictured here —Jiang on
to your hat.
*
For you’ll be riding behind a power
plant that is not only new but a major
sensation of the 1950 season.
You’ll be commanding the very latest
word in valve-in-head power —the
newest accomplishment of the organi
zation with the country’s longest stretch
of experience in this engine design.
i ^
Here every fist-size juel charge now
delivers a huskier wallop. Shorter,
lighter connecting rods meaiy HkH
pistons flash with faster and livelier
action.
Heavier Crankshafts, floated on bigger,
more rugged bearings, take this greater
load and transmit its stepped-up surge
to the drive shaft and rear wheels.
And you, behind the wheel, wreathe your
face in smiles at the lift you find! At the
trigger-quick take-off—the mile-eating
cruising stride — your easy disdain for
the passing gas pumps.
You and ypur SUPER are really
stepping out—aad Buick’s good riame
as “a sweetheart on the road” gains
still more lustre.
Nor is road-thrill the only blessing
this new power plant brings. Simpler
design makes service easier, so upkeep
’diminishes as a problem. Hydraulic
valve-lifters keep valves properly
seated for efficient operation—and for

quiet unbroken by tappet noise.
And you can have this power either
with Buick’s easy-shifting Synchro-
Mesh transmission or the silken luxury
of Dynaflow Drive.*
j . ;
Either way, this Super is certainly
something to see. To this top-notch
new power it adds style and room,
comfort and a wide outlook, soft easy
stride and handier new over-all length.
Even the price justifies a prompt trip
to your Buick dealer to learn more
about Buick for 1950. You’ll soon see
why so many folks are already saying,
‘‘Whatever your price range — better
buy Buick!*'
