of greater service with less exacting demands on the driver for adjustment and attention. "Throughout the entire chassis, mechanical changes have been introduced wherever possible to make for easier adjustment and care of working parts. For example, the clutch can now be readily adjusted with a wrench directly beneath the floor board. "It Is no longer necessary for one to get under the ear In order to darln

oil from the crank case. Just Inside of the hood there Is a handle which

operates the plug In the crank rase, to get under the car In order to drain

ed from the radiator by turning an

extended handle placed within conven lent reach, .

"Another Illustration of Buick at

tention to detail is seen In the accessibility of batteries in closed cars, which are provided with a small door 1n the floor board over the battery box. The springs on all closed cars have been re-designed to Insure the smoothest riding qualities over rough roads . "Owing o the growing demand for a more roomy and luxurious road

ster. 1he new Model Twenty une-j

Forty-Four has been studiously designed with the result that It is distinctly a new model. As remarkable as It is with Its Improved lines, 't still possesses the characteristic Buick type. ' "The rear of the 'body has been wended. making it exceptionally comfortable for two passengers be

sides the driver. There are two spacious comrartmenia, one back of the seat and another beneath the rear deck, that affords ample storage space. "The five-passenger open car, Model Twenty One-Forty five, has graceful, low appearanoa. The driving compartment and the tonneaus have been re-arranged slightly to provide more room and the seats have been changed so as to afford the most comfortable position for driver and passengers .

"Model Twenty One-Forty Nine, the

even passenger open oar, Is continu ed as the ideal car for the family

Door openings have been widened and mar room far extra nassengers has

been secured. Forty Nine Is a big, useful car. beautiful refined and easily controlled.

"All of the open cars are equipped with the new Buick patented top.

seat for two, In front folding seat with upand back rest. When

not In use It may he folded under the cowl. Back of the driver's seat and also under the rear deck, are specious compartments for' suit cases, bags and parcels.

THE LITTLE THINGS ARE THE BIG ONES "Improvements and refinements In motor cars, while they have come rap. Idly, at the same time have been more or less gradual so that persons who have driven cars for a fewyears scarce ly realise them," says Rd. Bohllng. ot the Bohllng Auto Sales. "Take for example some of the many things, small in themselves perhops but big when measured by the extent to which they relieve the driver of th

driver's necessity of constant attention. Among

the number of these found in the Cadll lao may be mentioned the tutoroot'o leaning device, on the carbueretor that Insures a correct mixturo under practically all conditions, and doing away with the hand operated contrivance which demands personal attention. "Another is the liquid condenser in which water vaporised from the radiator Is condensed and drawn feack into the circulating system, making frequent replenishment unnecessary. This condenser is especially valuable and economising when alcohol Is used in the antl-freese mixture. "The caster-effect of the front wheels is one more instance. With this design the natural inclination of the car Is to travel straight ahead or follow the beaten road. The driver does not have to hold on to the steering wheel like grim death, but uses It for turning. With this design the tendency also is

for the front wheels to straighten

after rounding the turn.

"Many others might be mentioned but these will serve to show how the Camillas Is on the ale.t to minimize the effort and attention required of the driver."

ANOTHER WORLD'S RECORD SHATTERED Recently 311.000 ruber heels were made In one day at the big factories of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio. It is estimated that this day's production would equip 166,000 people witti "human shock absorbers" enough f r more than three-fourtha the population of Akron. The record-breaking number of he, !.- was turned out by 250 workers ear finishing heels enough for 624 p(3c. rians.

"Buick closed cars have been greatly Improved also. The three previous models have been developed and, Mn addltton, a new four-passenger coupe. Model Twenty One-Forty KIght.

"For twenty years the Buick Mo-j tor Company hss adhered steadfastly j to definite " principles of mxtor car j design and manufacture,, says F.. T. j Strong. General Sales Manager Buick i Motor Co. "The reward to owners j end dealers as well as to tbe builder, for this unwavering fidelity to policy and concentration of energies has been seen year after year. "And the highest plnacle In this long period of Buick development has been reached In the new line for Nineteen Twenty One. "There are seven models for the new season, including three open and four closed body types. While they have retained those qualities that have been adopted as standards of mechanical excellence for two decadea. Im

provements have been added to Increase either the convenience or the long life of tbe cars. "The casual observer on the street or In the showroom will note that the most striking change is In .the new lines of the body, top. radiator, hood and cowl, which blend into a harmonious whole of rare and graceful beau

ty. Yet. there is nothing spectacular

or radical in the new lines and those familiar with Buick methods will understand that the outward appearance

merely betokens the Inner goodness of the new Buick. "Since the opening of the previous season, the Buick Valve-in-head motor, ev&n at that time brought to a high state of perfection, has undergone strenuous tests In the Buick research and experimental laboratories. And U ha passed ttom the engineers bandi a more refined motor, capable
