HALF MILLION SEE
NEW BUICK CARS
Display of the 1925 models of Bu
ick motor cars for the first time on
July first brought approximately half
a million motorists into Buick sales
rooms in a single day.
Reports from Buick salesrooms on
July 2 revealed these figures and it
can be conservatively estimated that
several thousand more have been in
terested callers on Buick dealers from
whom no definite report has been re
ceived. In addition, the first day
eaw more than 5,000 of the 1925 mod
els delivered throughout the country.
Both the attendance and the deliv
eries established new record figures
for similar events in the automobile
industry. With a little more than
a week passed since the announce
ment, these figures have been multi
plied by several, and the most re
cent indicate an undiminished inter
est in the new cars and an increasing
demand for them in every section.
"The records attained on the first
day indicate more than a momentary
interest in a new automobile,” said E.
T. Strong, general sales manager of
the Buick Motor Company. "They
show how deeply the public has come |
to regard the Buick Motor Company
and the confidence which the automo
bile buying public has in Buick cars.
"The enthusiastic reception accord
ed the new cars is the result, of
course, of the universal satisfaction
that the public has had with Buick
cars in the past, particularly with the
cars equipped with four wheel brakes,!
which we introduced last year. In fact,!
the public’s interest in Buick virtual
ly makes any announcement by the
Buick Motor Company, a thing of na
tion-wide interest.
“The deliveries on the first day, and
the rate at which orders have come
in since then reveal another thing.
The public today is ready and willing
to purchase automobiles which ful
fill its demands, and which provide
the value that the nation has come to
expect in any motor car.
CLAIMS HAS FOUND
TROPICAL VALLEY
IN THE FAR NORTH
(Th Alaska Weekly)
Headed by Hon. Charles H. McIn
tosh, former governor of the North
west Territories, a committee is at
work in Vancouver raising funds to
exploit the reported find of a tropi
cal valley in the far north. Frank
Perry, explorer, who brought the word
south of the discovery he had made,
while wandering in an unknown terri
tory, is sponsor for the plan.
Gold and platinum in the rivers of
the district are first consideration of
>the committee, which states that a
pool will be formed to raise $200,000
and engage in placer mining there.
It is#proposed, says the committee’s
publication “Snug Harbor,” to send
an airplane to establish the first base
of supply. Mr. Perry states that the
round trip could be made in one day
from the nearest railway.
The discoverer, who claims for the
district vast resources of natural
wealth, outrivaling the Klondike, will
YES—
BUT NOT
TOO “SOLID"
Frye’s “Delicious” Bacon is one
of the very best foods for the fam
ily table—thoroughly satisfying,
but not too “solid”- Doctors and
food experts tell us that bcaon is
one of the most nourishing dishes,
and the most jaded appetite will
find new zest in the delightful
flavor that is the result of the
special Frye curing process

not divulge its location until plans are
well under way.
Interviewed when he came out and
made his announcement last fall, Mr.
Perry stated that the land is wonder-!
fully productive of plant life, that it
is semi-tropical in climate, a result of
hot wrater springs in the valley; that;
fat deer and moose roam the valley;
without fear of men, and that petri-’i
fied footprints of huge three-toed ani
mals of a pre-glacial age inspire such;
fear in the hearts of the Indians of
the north that they will not enter the
valley.
The rough location, it is pointed out,
is between the Coast Range and the
Laird and Fort Nelson rivers.
