TOO MANY PENGUINS
Hobart, Tasmania — There
are so many penguins in the little
Tasmanian community of Bruny
Island that residents are debat
ing how it can solve its unique
traffic problem—too many pen
guins on the roads. While some
suggest laying pipes under the
roads as “subterranean penguin
crossings,” others, who doubt
that penguins would take easily
to subways, think low fences
would keep the roads clear.

OU can come in right now on a Buick
dividend distribution that’s like money
in the bank for you. And a look at the nation’s
new-car sales figures will tell you why.
This year, Buick is doing far better than just
outselling all cars in America except the two
most widely known smaller ones. This year,
Buick sales are soaring past every high
water mark in the book—past 600,000 cars—
and we’re still going strong.
So we’re declaring an extra dividend — for
you. On top of the long trade-in allowances
we have been making all year, we’re adding
a profit-sharing bonus allowance.
But you’ll be getting a lot more than a great
deal. You’ll be getting a great car-the
hottest-selling Buick in history.
You’ll be getting Buick’s far-in-advance

that’s taken the country by storm.
Gome in today and see for yourself that
there’s never been a car like this before —
and never a deal so easy to make.
