For safety, Reliability, Strength Cleanliness and Economy the NERACAR“ stands unrivalled.

The "NERACAR” was not bailt for excessive spoed.” On plain level roads, it will give a speed of 35 miles, whilst on hill-nch, as the Chin Wan Hill-it will give a speed of 25 miles per hour, as proved in the recent trials. Considering that most people rarely go motoring at more than 30 miles on level roads or 20 miles up hills, the

NERACAR has a reserve speed which is quite ample.

The "NERACAR" was specially designed and built to meet the needs of people who, in their daily avocations and pleasures, find that what is really required is a reliable, fair priced, light two-wheeled motor car that will carry them about safely, economically, at a fair speed and without the risk of having their clothing soiled by dirt, grease and oil. The "NERACAR" answers all these requirements and its gasoline consumption is one gallon to 100 miles t

1924 BUICKS

For the sixth consecutive year Buick has been assigned first place at the National Automobile Shows which will be held in the United States during January 1924.

As has been the case in previous years, the choice of positions was made on the basis of the greatest dollar volume of business done by manufacturers during the year at hand. The fact that Buick has been given first place six times in succession is convincing evidence of Bulck's leadership, and the leadership of General Motors, in the automotive world.

Balck is now producing over 1000 production in its history.
