UPPOSE, come Christmas morning, you
took your wife to the front door, pointed
out through the holly wreath — and there
let her see a brand-new Buick standing at
the curb!
A thrill? You bet = for the whole family!
Buick can do = a little figuring on your
present car's worth (at feday’s trade-in
values, not next spring’s)—a little working
out of convenient terms — and you'll have
a FIREBALL to cele-

BUICK PRICES

Out of the question? Not at all. Look:
We're not suggesting that you add the cost
of a new Buick to your Christmas budget.
But you probably will be buying a new car
soon and we are simply proposing
that you buy it now, a few months
ahead of time — and make this a
holiday long to be remembered.
