Show about as particular as the Buick factory fac-tory itself, ' continued Mr. Hynier. 1 ' We, too, have subjected the iUucK light delivery truck to every conceivable conceiv-able test in a practical way, an. I we find that it meets every demand for which it was created. The Ramlall-Dodd Ramlall-Dodd company, therefore, is willing aiu' more than willing to go the limit m its recommondation of the Buick light delivery de-livery truck. ' ' In anticipation of the hsavy demand de-mand which is being realized, we hnve laid in an ample supply of these truck?, and are therefore able to promise prompt delivery of them." STRENUOUS METHODS AT BUICK FACTORY Rigid Test and Delicate Scales Balance the Light Power Wagon Construction. "If a man's character could '.je put through as thorough and rigid a test as the materials and mechanism of the Buick light delivery truck, there would be no need for prisons and reformatories," reforma-tories," declared Sales Manager Hymer of the Randall-Dodd company, distributors distribu-tors for Buick trucks.' "At the Buick factory every substance sub-stance that is used in the manufacture of Buick cars, from the coal used in the furnaces to the steel in nuts and bolts, must run the gantlet of a most formidable array of scientific testing devices. "There are great mechanical giants that twist the drop forged axles into shapeless masses. There are furnaces that turn the carbon in steel iuto gases. There are scales so delicate they can weigh the carbon in those gases. There are moving picture machines that photograph pho-tograph the strength and regularity of the current used by the ignition apparatus appara-tus in action. There arc microscopes, stills and mysterious trappings of the chemist's lore, and the air is filled with pungent fumes and odors. "This work is divided into four separate sepa-rate departments the chemical laboratory, labora-tory, the physical laboratory, the metallurgical met-allurgical laboratory and the electrical laboratory.1 Both testing and research work is carried on throughout the year to check up the material before it goes to the manufacturing departments, and to assist the engineers in determining the best materials to use in parts for future models. , "Nothing could be more thoroughly practical than the work of these analytical analyti-cal experts. They provide an absolute check- on every lot of material purchased pur-chased by the Buick factory, and safeguard safe-guard the interests of every purchaser of a Buick car.
