U1CK builders have won
today's undisputed lead-
ership on a right principle,
rightly applied, the famous
Huick valve-in-head motor.
During the past sixteen years
numerous changes have been
made in types of design, but for-
tunately the designers of the
Huick motor first sought and
found the truth about gasoline
motor construction, and perfec-
tion of this correct principle is
all that has been required.
In the Huick valve-in-head effi-
ciency has been carried to all
branches of car making. The
liuick throughout shows the ef-
fect of valve-in-head initiative
inventiveness, pride
manship.
Frank Starzer, agent for the Buick
automobiles in Norman and adjacent
territory, tells the Transcript that on
July 1, 1917, the price of these ma-
chines will advance $100 to $150,
owing to the enormous demand and
advance in price of all material en-
tering into their manufacture. Mr.
Starzer advises everyone who is
thinking of getting an autmobile soon,
to investigate the Buick, recognized
as the king of them all, and get in
their order before July 1st. Orders
taken now will be filled at present
figures, no matter when delivered, but
orders after July 1st will be at from
$100 to $150 advance over present
prices.

Performance is the salient fea-
ture of the Huick valve-in-head.
It elevates it far above the rank
and file of automobiles, and
places it in a dominating posi-

quers hills speedily or snails
along with equal facility, quiet-
ly and economically wringing
power from gasoline at any and
all speeds.
It is particularly satisfying to
the purchaser of a Huick car to
find, as he does, that his choice
is everywhere admired and ap-
proved.
