T tave you ever wondered how it would
X I feel to go the limit on power and com-
fort and quality in an automobile?
Or how it would feel to be lord and master
of a car that can take its place with the finest
in the “fine-car field”?
Then, sir, this is a call to action.
The first action is yours—the simple action
of getting in touch with a Buick dealer and
planting yourself behind the wheel of a
Roadmaster.
Then let this great-powered and dazzling
performer take over.
There’s action in every one of the 152
horsepower in its Fireball engine—more
action than most proud owners of this eager
beauty will ever use.
There’s counter-action in its gentle and sure-
gripping brakes, the finest that Buick has
magnificently poised on coil springs which
individually cushion every wheel.
There’s a spacious feeling of room, above
and around you—room that is unsurpassed
anywhere in the fine-car field.
And to make every mile effortless and
relaxed, there’s the very exclusive advantage
of Dynaflow Drive—not as an “extra,” but
as a standard Roadmaster feature.
So why not drop in and satisfy yourself, as
our guest, that here indeed is a fine car that
goes the limit—in everything but price!
Check for yourself what others ask—and
what others offer—and you’ll discover
Roadmaster prices a call to action that a
wise man can’t ignore.
Equipment, accessories, trim and models are subject to change without notice.

the amount of life insurance in
force.
For the benefit of folks who
think all dollars paid out by life
insurance companies are related to
the unhappy occurrence of death,
I there’s a surprise in Southwestern
Life’s report. During 1950 more
dollars were paid to living policy-
owners—in the form of maturities,
cash values, annuities, disability
benefits and other income payments
—than were paid to beneficiaries of
deceased policyowners. The form-
er received $5,943,138 and the lat-
ter $4,346,418.
Southwestern Life also acknowl-
edges the professional-like caliber
of its agency force and its home
office staff. There are now in the
ranks of Southwestern Life more
than one-fourth of the Chartered
Life Underwriters in Texas.
Southwestern Life is represented
here by Louis Germer.

Yes, Sir, here we go again. Last

scotch foursome and made many

Leighty and David Smith and Ruel
Love and Tine Strouch; 2nd low
medal, Mary Coleman and Slim
Boyd; 3rd low medal another tie
between Gert Piehl and Bill
Leighty and Carrie Bell Tyler and
Doc Strauch. Low handicap was

Boyd and Guy Manning; 3rd low
handicap had four tied: Rose-
mary Blackstock and Stan Wright-
man, Gene Massey and Wallace
Tyler, Nita Ebeling and Jim Sports-
man, Dorothy Vance and Garland
Hodges. Following the play the
girls served another of those de-
licious suppers and everyone pres-
ent stepped up for their plate and
sat back and parred the course on
the table. Nice going folks it was
wonderful eating.
Next Wednesday, April 11, to be
exact the ladies will go to Robs-
town for their next intercity play.
Girls be sure and check with Mae
Boyd and get all arrangements
made. You are all shooting better
golf now, so go get yourselves some
more prizes and glory.
Let us remind you that the 3rd
Tuesday night in each month is
Ladies’ business meeting. That will
come up next Tuesday, so don’t
forget, 7:30 is the time.
Also there is to be a Club wide
old-fashioned Box Supper on the
night of Saturday, April 28. Re-
member, the one where the boxes
are sold at auction, and you have
a chance to bid on them and in-
cidentally to help the girls along
with some of their projects. Be
sure not to miss this one or you
will surely be sorry.

policyowners. The booklet reveals
that Southwestern Life:
(1) Is the largest life insurance
company in the United States that
does business in only one state
