For some years I’ve recommended
to young fellows That they become
electrical engineers or chemical en
gineers. Certainly electricity and
chemistry are in the very forefront
of America’s greatness.
America may not have the greatest
chemists in the world, but no one
can doubt that America brings the!
fruits of chemistry to all its people.

you may be
real mad at us
We wish we had time to sit
down with everybody in this
town and tell ’em personally
about the many kinds of mod
ern, inexpensive insurance
which most people should
carry nowadays.
You—for instance—may be
pretty sore at us some day if
you have a fire, a windstorm,
burglary or a boiler explosion,
or if you are sued for dam
ages, or lose a diamond ring
or a fur coat or a suitcase full
of clothes, or sustain some
other serious loss against
which we could have insured
you if we had tried to sell you.
We can’t be out selling
everybody in town all the
time, so won’t you help us sell
you what you need. Ask us to
survey your insurance policies
soon and to tell you of any
gaps.

Tne Federal Government has its
place and function, but tne present
tendency may obliterate the state.
Mr. Matthew Barkley is one of the
younger men of business in the state.
A highly educated man. a chemical
engineer of Yale, he is a man who
loses his state and speaks and writes
with the courage and conviction of
a .statesman.
It has been my good fortune to
know many great men and women
of our state—and of other states.
Some were wealthy; some still are
not afra;d of the wolf at the door,
but many were comparatively poor;
undistinguished and in small posi-
t.uns, but character, service, whole-
aearted dedication, lifted them to a
plane ot true nobility, or greatness.
Life is a perpetual recruitment for
' service. Many men and women of
1 my early public efforts have gone
to a newer, higher field of endeav-
i or; many are now at home enjoying
the period of mellow wisdom and
calm reflection; and there are those
valiant spirits like Mat Barkley, and
many in Sumter, Manning, Charles
ton, Columbia—and elsewhere, who
take up the torch and face the future
undismayed, unafraid, full of high
purpose and rich promise.
American advertising is frequent
ly wasteful, as I see it; but some of
it is so good that it tells a great story.
I wish to quote an advertisement of
a great trust company. Beginning
!wlth a slogan; “Vision is indispensa
ble to progress” it carries this head-
tline “Invisible horsepower that leaps
, to light a city”. Then this follows:
"When Thomas Edison died, it was
suggested that all electric power be
switched off for 60 seconds in tri
bute. The idea was abandoned when
! it was realized that even such short
interruption of power might be dan
gerous . . . The continuous flow »of
electricity was too vital to our na
tional life! Yet, despite immense pro-
i gress to date, the private-owned
j electric utility companies and equip
: ment manufacturers are working to
find new uses for electricity and to
providje steadily better service.
To effect economies, these compan
ies are exploring methods of trans
mitting power at 500,000 volts—
nearly twice as high as today’s volt
ages.

nervous tensing up for a jolt
every time a rough sppt looms in
the road ahead?
Want to enjoy the relaxing feel of
a sure-footed car beneath you, that
stays level even when the road
doesn’t?
Well, sir, ease into a Buick and see
how such matters are cared for.
See what a wonderful difference
in level buoyancy coil springs can
make when you have them on all
four wheels, not just the front ones.
Note what firm and solid steadiness
is yours when a full-length torque-
tube drive is your keel—how
smoothly you stay on course when
the rear wheels can’t help but run
true.
See what big, low-pressure tires
and Buick’s wide rims can do to
pillow your course without jounce
or sway.
In other words, sample this two-
ton beauty for over-all stance and
balance—and the cradling comfort
of its roomy interiors.
And while you’re at it, get the very

special thrill of its mighty Fireball
power plant, plus the free-as-a-
bird-in-flight bliss of its Dynaflow
Drive.* X
It's an experience that you owe
yourself—and it’s yours foif the
asking. The thing to do is get in
touch with your Buick dealer—and
discover the ride that only Buick
owners know.
