Always,
a square USED
CAR deal from
the Huick Dealer
1 he Buick dealer is in business to stay. His
future reputation depends upon his treating
used car buyers fairly.
He wants to please used car purchasers be-
cause he knows that satisfied used car cus-
tomers are prospective new Buick buyers.
The man who buys a good used car—hon-
estly represented — at a fair price—receives
splendid value in transportation.
In his enthusiasm for the car he has bought,
and the value he has received, it is only
natural for him to look upon the dealer as
his friend.
The Buick dealer has many such friends
because he represents the true condition of
the used cars he offers for sale.
And that is good business—for the Buick
dealer, as well as the used car buyer.

There are between 200,000 and 300,-
000 bee hives in Texas with an an-
nual production in honey valued at
more than $2,000,000.
The source of most of the honey
produced by bees in Texas is the same
crop that stands at the top of Texas
products—cotton. The major part of
the honey comes from the cotton stalk.
There was a young maid at Bryn

Who longed like the deuce for a

She'd pull out her hair.
And hitch her good luck to a stawr.

During the last ninety days more new Chev-
rolet cars were delivered in this community
than in any similar period in Chevrolet his-
tory—and most of these new car sales involved
the trade-in of the purchaser's previous car. As
a result, we have at this time a wide selection
of used cars that have been thoroughly recon-
ditioned— and which may be identified by
the red "O. K. that counts" tag. Come in
and make your selection while our used car
stocks are complete.
