Overton of the Overton A Cowen Co., Buick dealers has just returned from Flint, Mich., where he spent two days as a guest of the Buick Motor company. Buick is entertaining the majority of its 3,800 dealers at the factory and the famous General Motors Proving Grounds this fall, at the rate of about 250 a week. Mr. Overton made the trip in a special Pullman train, along with the other dealers in the Chicago Buick branch territory. The dealers reached Flint early Thursday morning, their train pulling onto a siding near the Buick factory. The party, numbering about 125 men, was met by Buick executives, divided into groups of a dozen or so each, provided with guided and started at once on an inspection tour through the plants. JCxcept for luncheon, which was served at the Hotel Durant, the tour occupied the entire day. The luncheon was attended by E. T. Strong, president of the Buick Motor company, E. W. Churchill, general sales manager, and other Buick executives, who addressed the visiting dealers on various sales and service problems, and congratulated the dealers for their part in making this by far the greatest of all Buick years. The next day the dealers landed at the Proving Ground, which lies a few miles from the nearby town of Milford. Here they were shown the testing through which Buick goes constantly, to safeguard its position of quality leadership. After a day crammed with incident, they left for home. "It's hard to say which was more amazing, the factory or the Proving Ground," said Mr. Overton. "Each was a wonderful experience and a genuine treat. The day at the factory brought home the marvelous efficiency of Buick manufacture and explained how it is that Buick can offer such startling values. We saw the conscientious care vthat goes into the making of every Buick car,--the relentless tests which insure that every one is right when it goes out--and we gained some conception of the policy has as rumor sometimes has it--but to put those cars through the most rigid tests, in comparison with all other cars made, so they may perform with the best at all times. "Buick keeps a big fleet there constantly, going through the roughest sort of grind, so that performance! may be constantly bettered. These! Buicks average 900 miles a day apiece the year round, which gives some idea of the tests through which they are put. "The demonstrations of Buick roadsters upon the speed loop was amazing. ^ I did not know before an automobile could go so fast. "I think all the dealers Jn the territory felt that the visit was the experience of a lifetime. For myself, the visit to the plant and the Proving XJround, and our contact with Buick's builders, made me mighty proud of my connection with Buick. It put a Better Automobiles are Built, Buick v * ^ * Will Build Them.' We've got insid*.- - . information, now, that Buick 'doesn't rf mean maybe'."

Stor§ Movement of parts, in their transfor mation from raw material into finished cars, is taken care of by a system of conveyors of marvelous ingenuity, each designed perfectly for its-own particular job. They run from operation to operation, and from plant to plant, in what seems like a hopeless maze; yet their movement is perfectly co-ordinated, and their combined effect is efficiency itself. "For all its machinery, Buick employes about 30,000 workers. Its factory is nearly two miles long and several blocks wide; it has its own fire and police departments, its own water and telephone systems--in short, it's a good sized city in itself.
