and Beauty
PpHIS new MeLaughlin-Buiek is a radically new and
A individual conception of the modern automobile.
A doxzling new type of motor car beauty unlike any
thing heretofore known—longer, larger, more luxurious
bodies, true masterpieces of Fisher design—wider rear
seats providing plenty of room for three adult passengers
-—a tremendous increase in power, getaway and flexibility
——these are highlight features of this most brilliant of
new car creations.
A new and deeper radiator of distinctive design—striking
new chrome-plated head-lamps and cowl-lamps—arrest
ing new lines and eolors—all combine to lend an air of,
fleetness, poise and distinction utterly new to automotive
design.
And in performance, too, the new McLaughlin-Buick out
shines all previous achievements. Power, speed, acceler
ation, flexibility, stamina—all are greatly increased—
all are united and co-ordinated to a hitherto unknown
degree.
In addition, the 1929 McLaughlin-Buick introduces a
host of engineering refinements, including a new high-
pressure gas-pump—new carburetor with two high-speed
jets—new, easy-action clutch—new and improved steer
ing gear—steel backed main bearings—and many othei;
features of the first importance.
See the 1929 McLaughlin-Buick. Drive it. Make it your
car. And rest assured there is none in the world that
surpasses it. M2s-s-2ac
The G.M.A.C. Deferred Payment Plan offers many
advantages to buyers of McLaughlin-Uuick cars.
ONH-THIRD CANADIAN CARS
ARIS OWNED BY THH
FARMERS
Farmers lead the classification
list in point of ownership of motor
cars. Approximately a third of the
more than a million motor vehicles
owned in Canada are owned by
farmers, and even in Ontario the
most manufacturing- industrialized
urbanized province in the Dominion,
farmers own about a quarter of the
cars and trucks. This rural motor
ization is not a new development
and it is entirely logical. Nothing
bias done as much, not even the
radio, rural delivery and telephone
combined, for the rural population
socially and educationally as the
motor car.
Unfortunately, many rural motor
ists possibly because only infre
quently encountering the congested
niQtor traffic that is the everyday
experience of urban motorists, have
not developed motor traffic con
sciousness Almost daily those, who
drive through the country encoun
ter farmers driving motor vehicles
on the highways and byways as
though there were no other fast
moving vehicles within a conces
sion’s breadth of them. They will
make left hand turns off the roads
without giving either visible or aud
ible signals. They will drive into
the main travelled highways from
barn lanes, concealed from the view
of those on the highways, without
warning and at times utterly care
less, apparently, of approaching
traffic on the highways. These il
legal and dangerous practices have
cost some farmers many hundreds
of dollars in settling damage claims
arising out of accidents resulting
from them, but that is far from be
ing the most serious phase of the
matter.
A more serious resultant of such
carelessness or recklessness is illus
trated by a report received by the
Motor League that three lots of mo
torists had been treated for injuries
at the Chatham hospital alone thus
far this season because of collisions
resulting from farmers making left
hand turns off neighboring roads
wihtout bothering to signal or as-
sertain that the way was clear. One
of those seriously injured was the
wife of a prominent Toronto mining
and oil magnate.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO
WESTERN FAIR
Thousands of motor cars and
scores of special trains will convey
countless Western Ontario men,
their wives and families to WeS't'eihi
Fair, London, Ont., September 8th
to 15th.
With a constantly growing and
improving exhibition in which the
agricultural interest is always to the
year to reach the peak of its long
history of excellence.
Pursuing its policy of replacing
old building with new ones, the
board has ordered the demolition of
some time-honored structures to
make way for the fine new steel
arid brick livestock arena.
$40,000 will be expended this
year on attractions and prizes,
which are sure to draw record en
tries and bumper crowds.
The agricultural, industrial and
handicraft exhibits will excel all
previous efforts and will be well
displayed in the magnificent new
buildings provided.
Entertainment for young and old,
an indispensable feature of every
Exhibition, will be on a high plane,
with stellar grand stand attractions,
a clean, live midway, poultry exhib
ition, dog show, machinery exhibits,
the ever-popular fireworks display
and other features.
"Western Fair is too big to s-e
thoroughly in a half a day or a few
hours," says Secretary W. D. Jack-
son. ‘‘Make ah early start, bring
the whole family and plan for at
least a full day with us, or better
still, two days.
The enthusiastic crowds sure to
attend Western Fair this year will
be well repaid in interest, instruc
tion, education and entertainment.
