The “check” has taken its place; it saves time and mileage; it makes ~ '"business transactions easier to handle, safer and more efficient. For instance, with \ a Checking Account you can pay bills anywher<\ by mail. Then, too, each canceled check becomes an automatic receipt for the bill it paid. j Why not open yours today! f / First National Bank NAPPANEE, INDIANA

BUICKS FOR 1927 y NOWONDISPLAY New Standard in Looks and Performance Claimed. On August first the Buick Motor Company introduced its new models for 1927. Many features never before found in cars of its price class are included in the new Buicks, and several important engineering developments are introduced as being exclusive Buick features. Chief among these is the Buick valve-in-head engine, which is said tp be absolutely without vibration periods and very silent at all speeds. This result is obtained, Buick engineers say, through a combination of counter-balanced crankshaft and torsion balancer, with light, cast iron pistons and a heavy flywheel. Anew crankcase ventilator and thermostatic water control prevent crankcase dilution and make a complete change of oil necessary only four times a year. Silence and the elimination of closed car rumble are also claimed for these cars. These results come from rubber engine mountings at all three points of suspension, a silent transmission and rear axle, and a muffler and exhaust system which eliminates unpleasant noise. Among the many attractive features of the new Buicks are balanced wheels, which prevent wheel bobbing and chatter and aids in smooth riding. Upholstery and trim Is of the best in all models, mohair plush being used in the closed cars and genuine Spanish leather in the open models. New color combinations are in Dueo. Tires and rims are jet black, adding much to the appearance of the cars. Attrac-. tive lines and several entirely new models feature the line. Prices are no higher, in spite of the many improvements.
