G. 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.

years were one of the haphazard
methods, marred by sudden abandon- Blackville, July 28. Mrs. T. 0.

fy itself thoroughly before it could be
embodied in the Buick car. 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. Counterbalanced crankshaft

‘TRivick’s history is replete with in
stances in which a new and seemingly
radica 1 engineiHng principle has been
adopted, sometimes in the face of
copsiderable ridicule from competition.
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. Never in Buick’s^long history

sdered action.
