The Standard of Comparison
Driving Comfort in Winter
The Buick “Model 45" Six Cylinder—*1195
As complete as hss been the development of the enclosed car,
Buick designers have not neglected to improve the open type of car,
building into it a measure of comfort, convenience and weather
protection surpassed only by the more expensive closed vehicle.
Protection against wind and anew is assured by the snug-fitting
storm curtains that open with the doors. The Buick design of
storm curtains with a special weather atrip provides a coziness,
comparable to that of any closed car, while windshield wiper and
tight fitting windshield, adjustable from within, make driving
safe and comfortable.
Added to this, and equally important in winter driving, is the
splendid performance that a Buick car always produces — Its
constant and surplus power—its roadability and perfect balance
and its unquestioned dependability.
For cold weather driving there ii no superior to the Buick open cars.

kindly given us by Mrs. John P.
Nash:
Peanut Brittle
Put two cups of granulated sugar
in a skillet, set on the fire gnd stir
constantly to keep from scorching.
Have ready one cup of shelled pea-
nuts (either roasted or unroasted)
and when the sugar is thoroughly
melted add peanuts and continue to
stir for a few moments. Then pour
out in a buttered dish. U.nroa.ted
peanuts will cook in the melted
sugar.

1 cupful light brown sugar.
1 cupful granulated sugar.
1 cupful light corn syrup.
Vi cupful condensed milk.
1 cupful milk.
1 cupful cream.
1 teaspoonful vanilla.
Cook together the sugars, corn
syrup, condensed milk, milk and 1-3
of the cream until a teaspoon of the
candy will form a soft ball when
dropped in cold water. Add the
rest of the cream and cook until a
ball in the cold water becomes as
firm as a finished caramel. Add
vanilla and pour into greased pans.
When cold cut into squares. You
may add nuts.
