Sam was going from place to place

they in turn were glad to see and
welcome him back.

Doesn't Make Sense
The restoration of government
curbs on consumers’ easy payment
credit affecting a number of mater
ials and commodities went into ef
fect this week. The order will not
affect consumer buying at present,
since no consumer items were named
in the order.
We hear much about stemming
inflation, but the only way to ac
complish this is to keep the goods
moving to consumers. Any other al
ternative such as price fixing and
rationing should remain the last
resort of a drastic war effort if such
becomes necessary. The free mark
et is as basic as any other freedom
we enjoy. When it is restricted the
entire ideal of freedom is in peril.
It is highly necessary to keep
goods moving through an efficient
mass distribution which will prevent
hoarding or profiteering. Yet strange
ly the government is seeking to re
strict the efficiency of mass distri
bution by attacking mere size as a
monopoly.
Today business sits on a two
pronged dilemma. On the one side
is the demand from government to
provide the necessary supplies and
the men for the war which recently
began in Korea, and which to the de
light of all—is now looking much
better for our side in the fight
against Communism. On the other
prong, business faces the most de
termined campaign ever waged by
antitrust lawyers in which they at-

Just sharpen your pencil-
end there you are !
across this broad land there are
thousands of people who have
been doing themselves a disfavor.
Seems they "just naturally assume’*
a Buick is beyond their reach—and
so pass up the car they're really itch
ing to own.
Now why "assume” anything as im
portant to your happiness as a new
car?
Why not see for yourself how de
livered prices run —how close Buick
matches your own budget—how fre
quently it is priced under •°4 can
you may be considering?
Then — if there is a particular car in
mind—sharpen up your pencil a little.

s it a six —or an eight, like Buick?
If an eight, is it a valve-in-head eight?
That adds a plus in efficiency, you
know, even without the extra edge
of Buick’s Fireball power.
Will you ride on four soft coil springs,
as in Buick—or on only two? Will the
drive be through a sealed torque-tube
that keeps the rear wheel assembly
firmly aligned? It is in a Buick.
•
Do you get soft, low-pressure tires
as part of the price—or as extras?
Will you have bumper guards built
as part of the bumper, or a one-piece
cast metal grille that can be costly
to repair or replace?
"oes the price include air cleaner;
oil filter; dual horns, windshield
wipers and sun visors; an automatic
dome light; self-locking luggage lid;
a single key for all locks?
And is there an automatic drive*, or
one In which gears still shift in
normal driving?
(es, sharpen your pencil—and there
you will be, in a Buick.
Whether it’s a Special, a Super or
a lordly Road MASTER, you’ll be driv
ing the big buy of its price class, and
getting a rich bonus of driving com
fort, driving thrill and "fashion-first**,
styling.
) But you have to make the first move.
You are the one who has to find out.
How about starting now—with a call
on your Buick dealer?
