sponsor; Stanley Smith, 4-H boy
from Klgin, First National Bank
of Houston, sponsor.
iation named three candidates to
enter the contest—Mary Lee Stein-
hort, senior English major; Betty
Ann Cross, psychology junior; and
Joyce Mixon', /education sopho-
more.
The Cotton council selected Miss
Cross as one of 20 finalists front
the hundreds of entrants from all
cotton-producing states.
Miss Cross and her mother, Mrs.
W. R. Cross of 1810 Elmen, Hous-
ton, will leave December 31 for

cipate in the contest.

sity testing laboratory, she has

MAYBF you never thought of
it that way, since you don't
buy butter in 3600-pound lots.
But pound for pound, this pride-
ful Buick Special sells today for
less than store-bought butter!
Actually, it costs less per pound
than some of the cars in the so-
called "lowest price" bracket —
less than any other straight-eight
on the market.
Now that's a pretty important
yardstick.
Because cost-per-pound is a pretty
stable measure of a car's merit. It
takes skilful engineering, careful
buying, efficient manufacturing to
keep this figure around the half-
dollar mark — and that's where it
is on the 1950 SPECIAL 4-door
Sedan.
The real point, of course, is that
this is a Buick at that figure.
When better
uutomubUen nrr built
nril ti trill build thvm
Buick styling. Buick valve-in-head
straight-eight power. Buick steadi-
ness and roadability. The gentle
cushioning power of Buick 4-
wheel coil springing.
Buick room, finish, standing —
with a special plus these days in
greater maneuverability to help
you slip into tight parking spaces
and home-size garages. Buick's
unmistakable appearance, through
gracefully tapering fenders and
that new "Buick first," that sturdy,
shock-absorbing, triple-purpose
bumper-guard grille.
All this at price tags that "sound
like a iix" and a cost-per-pound
right down with the very lowest!
So—ifyou can afford butter, why
not a Buick? Talk to your dealer
about it—delivered prices, trade-
ins, delivery dates, all the rest—
and make your next car a Buick.
