; SHAMROCK IS GOING
ACROSS ATLANTIC TO
BE TRtAL HORSE AGAIN
| NEW YORK, AIs A crow of
| English sailors in the employ of
i Thomas Lipton arrived on the steam
ship Zealand to tak Sir Thomas' 23
I metro racing yacht Shamro k back to
i England where she w ill bo used as
I a trial horse for the new yacht he
has ordered in a new attempt to eap
: ture the famous America's cup.
i The Shamrock was used in both
■ British and American waters in 1920
i as a pace-muker t'or the Shamrock
, IV. Since then she has been in
storage.
ADVANCESHOWN
IN 1924 6UIGKS
New Body Lines, and New
Engineering Features in
Buicks for Next Year.
New and strong developments arc
sat'd to be embodied in the Buick
line of cars for 1921, of which models
i have just reached Outside dealers
! and details of their design and con
struction furnished the Alaska Auto
I Supply Company, local dealer for
,the Buick. The Buick announcement
1 will prove of considerable interest to
local motorists as heralding an ad
vance in automobile construction.
There tins been much gossip as to
what this con<>any would do, what
features would be embodied in the
1924 models. Those who were in the
“know'' had predlotpd lust what it
would be, yet thee car offered for
next year by Bulhk is entirely rif
ferent from what had heen forecast
by the “wise"'ones, showing how suc
1 ■■ IIIIII ■ 1111M ■ III III11IIII1111111 til 11
I
ceaafully flie company kept it : secret.
Buick claims that the features of the
new model are developments and not
Innovations, t evolutionary and not
revolutionary! consistent throughout
with Buick standards.
Aside from the striking body
changes, perhaps thp mo it interest
ing developments have been mechani
cal in nature. Four wheel brakes on
both four and six cylinder models in
dicate the trend toward safer driving.
The Buick valve-in-head engine has
been refined, but not changed to the
point of submerging the overhead
type of construction.
Automatic force-feed to all major
engine units, larger valve clearance,
specially designed corlmretor, heavier
cum and crank shafts are all factors
In the Buick claim for greatly in
creased power and efficiency.
The body design on the new mo
dels iH distinctly European in trend.
This is especially noticeable in the
enclosed cars.' Ten body styles are
shown on the six-cylinder chassis
and four on the “four."
A heavier frame and improved type
of spring suspension add greitly to
the strength and riding qualities ot
both the four and six cylinder ears.

Why Buick is
“The Standard of Comparison” |
It ha* been’ a fixed Buick policy always to §
anticipate motoring demands by developing |
new and advanced features of design and jsj
construction. f
This has been one of the many factors con- «
tributing to Buick’s great popularity—a E
popularity tangibly expressed in the fact that
Buick is well* on its way towards the manu- E
facture of its two-millionth motor car. =
