M .Neeley, of the Denmark Buick Company was in Barnwell Tuesday morn inf: showing one of the “Silver Anniversary Buicks,” a handsomely fcuilt and beautifully appointed sedan. Mr. Neeley is loud in his praise of the -new cars and his opinion is now .shared by all who had the opportunity of riding in the sedan. In speaking of the new models, M r. Neeley said: 4 “Silver Anniversary Buick” is more than a phrase coined to desig nate the new lino of motor cars which Buick is launching today. It is the owenr’s assurance of authoritative de sign, sound engineering, and expert •workmanship,—all the qualities which at quarter-century of fine motor car building has taught us to embody in Buick cars. Buick offers its own line •with thei conviction that these are the finest motor cars and the most out standing values obtainable anywhere today. •'If Buick’s record for the past 25 years were one of the haphazard methods, marred by sudden abandon- Blackville, July 28.

It is this policy, which Buick has followed through the years and to which Buick Mill is firmly committed, which makes the Silver Anniversary significant. "Buick started out 25 years ago with the valve-in-head engine, and it has %uilt valve-in-head engines ever since. The engine of today is a v<ry different j <*ngine from that of 1904, it is true, hut its valve-in-head principle remair« the same. It is the most powerful en- ■giue of its size in tho world. "Hundreds of refinements have ap peared in this power plant from time to time.

But the very fact that Buick has tiied put every such change exhaustively before its adoption, seeking always for the better thing, has made Buick’s Terurd one of successive forward steps, ’with sudden reversals conspicuously absent.
