BHJHCK
CARS WON
THE NEW YORK TROPHY
AND THE ONLY PERFECT SCORES MADE BY ANY CAR
THE S',985 Bl'ICK SIX made the only perfect score made by a six-cylinder car
THE $1,050 BUCK, the lowest price touring car in the run. made the only
other perfect score, defeating all Sixes ar.d tours of other makes.
THE $1,235 BUCK RUNAfcOlT made the shortest brake stops (both service
and emergency).
THE $9511 BUICK RUNABOUT made the greatest mileage | er gal'on gasoline
(average 19 miles per gallon for entire run.)
The five Buick Cars entered in the run averaged 15 77 miles per gal’o:,
for the entire 2.575 miles covereu.
All five Buick Cars made perfect road scores, perfect bral e. clutch a- d
gear-set tests.
Buick Cars won both the large and small car classes.
WONDERFUL SHOWING. SAYS MAIL
AN OFFICIAL RUN UNDER RIGID RULES A
Remember, this was an official run.
Cars were sealed; observers of other
makes of competing cars were with Buick
drivers whenever they were near the car?.
Penalties were given for inoperative
starters, tire-blowouts, burned-out elec-
tric bulbs, loose nuts, etc. Steering gear
play, spring sag. battery tests, body rattle
and defects of any kind prevented cars
from perfect scores.
The New York Evening Mail said ir
part: “Two Buicks capture Reliability
Run Test with perfect scores. It was the
most strenous test from the standpoint of
a technical examination to which auto-
mobiles have ever been subjected in this
country. Everything was sealed up tight,
so that there was no chance for adjust
rr.ents or repairs without the knowledge
of the observers or the technical commit-
tee. The entrants showed praise-worthy
courage and confidence in their car- to
submit them to such a test. Altogether
the cal’s made a wonderful shov ing.
WHAT THE Rl IN PROVED
The run was only another official demonstration of the correct design, good aia'
teriai. careful workmanship and economy of Buick Cars.
Buick Cars are feared by every entrant in every contest in which they participate
Phenomina! Demand For Buick Cars
The Buick business is the largest in its history. They have been behind in filling
orders all the Fall. They are bu lding 40,000 Buicks for 1014. There will not be tn
ough Buicks to supply the demand. If you wish to own and run one of these popular
cars an order placed now will assure you of satisfactory date of delivery.

teaspoon ful sail.
Sift three times, the fiour, salt and
baking powder. Work into the flour the
shortening, using lard or butter for
shortening. Then mix to a very soft
dough with the milk. The softer the
biscuit enters the oven, the lighter it
comes out. Never knead baking powder
biscuits; press the dough into shape and
roll lightly. Cut in small sha|>es and
bake on a sheet or very shallow pan in
a hot oven. In placing biscuits in the
pans place well apart, not allowing edge?
to touch. Small biscuits are letter thar
large ones. Large biscuits do not havr
the proper amount of time to raise an-
bake.
