Having" completed a diligent survey of the motor car industry, undertaken to enable us to select a genuinely dependable, economical and properly priced light car, we are pleased now to announce that we have become

REPRESENTATIVES IN THIS TERRITORY for the

OAKLAN

MOTOR CAR

That the motor car industry has, since its beginning, undergone many changes is not unknown, nor is it asserted here that future changes are unlikely, but as we are not concerned in the affairs of yesterday, or last week, or last year, but interested only and sincerely in the affairs of today and the future, we deemed it essential to make a very careful analysis of the industry before becoming responsible for the distribution of any car. Our canvass, which included a wide variety of cars of many prices and which was governed by the thought that our patrons must be forever safeguarded, has brought us to believe that the six-cylinder Oakland meets every requirement in its class. We believe in the utter goodness of the car in the materials used in the methods of construction in the sales policies adopted and equally in the integrity and responsibility of the organization behind it a unit of the General Motors Corporation. We unhesitatingly recommend this car and, without reservation, place our mark of approval upon it, as the most scientifically constructed, most economically operated and most properly priced car in the popular-price group of motor cars manufactured today. Let us show you this really dependable automobile and explain to you why we believe in it so earnestly and enthusiastically and why we believe our choice is of mutual advantage to you and us.
