j Gibbons' fighting ability for granted.
"| "Gibbons may be good enough to
‘ I box the champion fifteen rounds,”
‘j Jeffries said. "I string with Demp
j sey because I do not believe there

7 he Standard of Comparison
“Every Week-End Is a Vacation
With This Buick”
Closed car comfort is combined perfectly with cross
country touring convenience in this Buick six cylinder
touring sedan.
In interior arrangement and appointment it is unusu
ally attractive. Broad adjustable windows provide
"open car vision” and airiness. And the smart trunk
on the rear affords the luggage facilities so essential
to touring.
Ask for a demonstration of this car. You will find in
it many new qualities.
