Just when you would ex
pect tire prices to go up,
along comes Firestone
and reduces prices on
three popular lines of tires
to the point where it
would be absurd to look
any further for tire bar
gains. Now everybody
can afford Firestone
quality. When you need
tires come in to us first
and see the genuine bar
gains we can offer you.

He contrasted the rights of the
mothers of our country with those
Of Germany and Russia. He went
on to say if he could paint a world
map on the church wall, he would
color Russia and Germany black
because two powerful men in these
countries had sought to blot out
everything that was good and
worthwhile. In those countries there
was no Woman’s Association or W.
M.S. Mr. Hicks said* that before
another Mothers' Day thousaunds
of mothers throughout the world
would have lost a son, a husband

we were not to lose faith in the Di
vine power who would never permit
the destruction of everything good
in the world

Above is the McLaughlin-Buick Special 4-door touring sedan
^ur
WE’RE talking here to those thousands
who have not yet achieved a lifetime
ambition. That is to say, they don’t yet own
a McLaughlin-Buick.
We want to point out a few facts about the
Buick Special pictured here—show how it
opens the door*on a golden opportunity.
Step into this sleek sweetheart. Your treadle
foot touches off a trigger-quick Dynaflash
straight-eight engine that’s just about the
smoothest thing that runs, thanks to micro-
poised-balancing after assembly.
Swing through the gear changes and you
find the same easy, finger-flick shifting as in
the most costly Buick. And the same recoil
mounted Knee-Action soaking up bumps
before they reach your hand on the steering
wheel. Take a rough road in stride. You’ll
find that stout BuiCoil Springs muffle out
the bumps—and they never need lubrication.
Look out through the easy-vision Safety
Glass in every window. Check up on the
equipment: Two-Way Direction Signal with
automatic cut-off, built-in automatic choke,
high-capacity water pump—they’re all there.
And, when you count in the included equip
ment, the Special costs little more than
some sixes with lower advertised prices.
So look into the Buick Special and "step
up” to the car you’ve always wanted.
You can take a trial drive any time just by
asking your Buick dealer.
