Not long ago a man tried to
committ ,-uicide by attempting
to jump from the top of one
of the hoteir in San Antonio.
The manage), feeing that a
suicide would be bad for the
reputation of the hotel, risked
his life crawling out on a nar-
row ledge to get close ei ough
to the man in or to plead
with him.
"Don't do t'.iat, fellow!" the
manager begged. "Hemember
your children. Don't deprive
them of a Dad ly's low."
"I don't have any children,"
the despondent fellow repti :d.
" Then remember your wife,"
the hotel manager pleaded.
"I am not married," was the
answer to that.
"Please don't jump," cried the
manager again, "remember your
mother."
"She's dead."
"Remember your poor old fa
ther."

"Then remember the Alamo."

ger, as he hel l out his hands in

A steady stream of people wa-
going to and coming from the
Capitol. So many of them wore
coon.-kin hats. 1 got into the pro

everyone was looking at a life

in a buckskin suit. In his left
hand he hold the famous "Old

he hold.- the even mote famous

Ye- sir, people used to go up
to the Capitol to protest what
they were against or to wheedle
something out of the Legisla-
ture, or to incur favor with the
officials. But it is refreshing
to note that people are becom-

always mean danger. They are
yellow signs with black letters.
Round signs always mean rail-
road crossings ahead—y e 1 1 o w

with yellow background and
black letters always mean cau-
tion. Square and rectangular-

Speed limit signs are white
with black letters—60 mph in

and 55 mph at night.
No matter how well you can
drive, you are not a safe mo
torist unless your car is in good
condition. The law requires
everyone to submit his car upon
request to a vehicle inspection
by a member of the department.
Before you slow down, turn,
or change lanes, make certain
that you can do so safely. Let
other drivers and pedestrians
know what you intend to do by
giving the proper signals. Never
drive when sleepy or under the
influence of liquor or drugs.
Roadside parks are maintained
by the highway department for
you t convenience. Help keep
them clean.
Highway maintenance men are
required to take a First Aid
course every year.
There is nothing more com
teous than the motorist who
waves the pedestrian to go on,

waves thanks.

It's people—just like your neighbors down the street
—who are snapping up these gorgeous new Buicks

and causing Huick production to climb to new levels
every month, to handle the unparalleled demand.
And it's people-just about from every walk of life

who have moved Buick more solidly than ever into
the charmed circle of Xmericn's top best sellers.
But why? Why tlii* phenomenal swing to Buick
on the part of people who can choose any new car?
Because Buick's a buy—definitely.
And because it's a bold beauty that catches the eye
and holds it—that's for sure.
And certainly because it's supremely level of ride
— and a sweet joy to handle-and a mighty bundle
of high-voltage VN power to melt away the miles
and the high hills.
But most of all, because Buick this year is a perform-
er like no earth-bound vehicle ever was before. ..
Because Buick —and only Buick-has the airplane-
principled magic of Variable Pitch Dynaflow* where
you switch the pitch for big gas savings in cruising
— or for whip-quick getaway response and accel-
eration when you need a sudden safety-surge.
It's sheer thrill, and pure pleasure, and a big boon
to your gasoline budget-and you really ought
to try it.
Come visit us soon —this week, at the latest-ano
see for yourself why this is the car folks just won't
do without —the biggest-selling Buick of all time.
