BUICK'S MESSAGE to the INDUSTRY

|VER since its founding, over twenty years ago, Bulok has re-

E cognized a two-fold responsibility-a responsibility to those

who buy its product-a responsiblity to the Industry of which It is a part

Bulck's manufacturing and service policles, therefore, have been shaped to the end that every Buick owner might realize the maximum out of his investment as measured in terms of uninterrupted, com- fortable and dependable, personal transportation.

Buick's responsibility to the industry has likewise assumed very definito form. In addition to improving constantly car construction and design, Buick has bent every effort towards the originating and developing of mechanical Improvements that would react not only to Bulck's benefit, but would provide a definite contribution to the Industry as a whole.

How fully the public recognizes the consistency with which Buick has. lived up to its responsibility is manifested by the fact that for the sixth consecutive year Buick occupies first place at the National Automobile Shows-a position awarded upon volume of business.

On this particular occasion, Buick renews its pledge-that it shall maintain, with all of the tremendous resources at its command, Buick's position as the Standard of Comparison.
