For years the demand for Buick cars has laways exceeded the supply even when Buick production mounted to 500 cars daiJy- , Because of the material curtailment of motor car production this w inetr. the country faces a decided shortage of qualiyt cars this spring and summer. Consequently Buick dealers are advising motorists to place their Buick orders now because orders must be sent to factory months in advance of delivery. The reason why the demand for Buick cars has always exceeded the supply is more pronounced than ever in the 1921 Buick. Coupled with the noted Buick power and dependability are added riding comfort, easier control and a beauty and grace that fittingly express Buick worth. Authroized Buick Service insures full return on Buick investment. Since January 1, regular equipment oa all models includes Cord Tires Prices of the New Nineteen Twenty One BUICK Series
