The Sturdy Buick Frame
Instantly you notice the sturdy construction of this
important Buick Value-in-tlead motor car unit
Which under the watchful eyes of Buick engineers for
nearly twenty years has been developed to a high stand-
ard of perfection and efficiency
Wonderful processes of steel stamping heat treating
and electric rivet welding give a construction upon which
rests largely those satisfying qualities of comfort safety
and durability'
A reputation gained by years of constant daily usage
under extreme stress and strains is proven evidence of
endurance and workmanship

A Tuberculosis Day Prayer
“ O Gou we pray Thee for
all whose viger is drained by
slow and wanting illness
Strengthen their powers as
they battle for their life and
if it be possible we beseech
Thee to restore them and
grant them the fulness of
their years If their strength
is failing give them courage
still to labor cheerfully and to
leave to those who love them
dear memories of faith and
patience lor the distant days
Since we are all jointly guil-
ty of the conditions which
have bred theii disease may
we stand by those who bear
the burden of our common sin
and set tbe united will of our
community against this power
that slays the strong in the
bloom of their life May this
death that creeps from man
to man b a solemn reminder
that we are ail one family
bound together in joy and sor-
row i n life and death
that we may cease from our
elfish indifference and to-
gether seek Thy Kingdom
and Thy righteousness which
will bring us health and life
Amen’’
