STEPHEN COUNCIL
A THRILL with energy—like a spirited thoroughbred
t that will let no other pass—the 1929 McLaughlin-
Buick ushers in new and unrivalled power of acceleration.
Never was there an automobile so responsive, so mobile,
so sensitively flexible. Never an automobile with such
dash and spirit. Never an automobile so thrillingly alive
to every desire and demand of the driver!
Increased bore and stroke in the world-famous valve-in-
head engine—a tremendous increase in power—new and
advanced carburetion — high pressure gas pump — all
combine to produce accelerating abilities which will be
the envy of other motorists.
Pick-up, getaway and top speed—a greater top speed
than ever before—all are attained in the fewest possible
seconds in the new, 1929 McLaughlin-Buick.
If you want the feeling of dash, poxver, swiftness-—ju^t
look out over the mighty hood; and if you want to
experience traffic mastery—just press the accelerator.
Drive it and you’ll say, there never was a car like this
great, new McLaughlin-Buick. It provides acceleration
like a shot from a gun! M.n-8-2sc
The G.M.A.C. Deferred Payment Plan offers many
advantages to buyers of McLaughlitiSuiek cars.

damaged. The new barn that is be
ing erected by Mr. Walter Miller,
to replace tfte ope destroyed by fire'

wrecked. The main frame structure
was practically all up and ready for
the sheet metal when the wind' re
duced it to a mass of ruins. At the
farm of Mr. Theo. McAdams about
twenty apple trees were blown down.
