L i ) il Owner’s Brother Arrested, Accused of Grand Larceny. Stephen Joseph Wood, twenty-one vears old. giving his address as 1531 st street, had two diamond rings valued at $1.500 in his pockets when arrested at 26th and I streets Monday night for alleged intoxication. It de- veloped that the rinzs belonged to Mrs. A S. Rabbitt, 3137 M street, who had reported them taken from her home earlier in the day. Wood tola Policeman E. E. Ryan, whp arrested him, that he had been given the rings by George Harris, a brother of Mrs. Rabbitt, for safekeep- ing. and Harris was arrested by Police- men Dalglish and Patersen of the sev- enth precinct. Harris, according 15 the police, said he -picked up his sister’s pocketbook while visiting _ her Monday _after- noon, spent $15 he found in it and turned the rings over to his compan- jom, to prevent anything happening to them. A charge of grand larceny was preferred against Harris, while Wood was merely held for investi- gation. TWO DRAW JAIL TERMS.

Wise automobile buyers, for the protection of their present and future interests, are care- fully weighini;he record and reputation of the company behind the product. In common with other good manufac- turers, Oakland welcomes this tendency as something long-awaited and much desired. For we know well that every additional fact that the public learns about our Com- pany and its methods, is likewise an addi- tional argument in favor of our car. Oatkland’s Place in the Industry The Oakland Motor Car Company was founded fourteen years ago, which is a long time as time is measured in so young an industry. In the period since, it has grown steadily from a minor factor in the business to the seventh largest producer of automobiles in the world. Today it not only manufactures all the important elements of its product, but it vir- tually controls the manufacture of all minor parts and equipment as well, For the Oakland Company is an impor- tant unit of the General Motors Corpora- The Present Oakland Product The Oakland Sensible Six car today repre- sents six years’ concentration by Oakland upon the development of a well-built, serv- iceable and lightweight automobile. Its six-cylinder engine is of overhead-valve design, a type demonstrated as superior by its use in all airplane and racing car engines. Because its overhead-valve cylinder is the nearest commercial approach to the ideal combustion chamber, this engine delivers more power than others of similar size. It has very light but strong reciprocating parts which refuce bearing loads and mini- mize vibration, a superior method of vapor- izing fuel, and the best lubricating system yet devised. The Economy of the Oakland The Oakland Sensible Six owner realizes a measure of combined efficiency and low THE OAKLAND CREED “To build at a fair price an automobile so sightly as to uphold its owner’s honest pride, 50 competent as to arouse his genuine respect, so reliable as to win his deepest confidence, so economical as to serve his highest interest —this has been the purpose, is now the ac- complishment, and will continue to be the endeavor to which Qakland devotes the whole tion, the largest automobile producing | of ifs energies, its resources and its skill.” | OAKLAND MOTOR CAR COMPANY 4 organization on earth. : Pontiac, Michsgan / ing with opacity of the / ¥ ) B e - | ] A 4 an eye disease that needs surgical attention, DEALERS : DEALERS : he proper lenses wil DISTR! ! and) COMPANY eiseperitones e H.

He enjoys more miles from the gallon of gasoline, more power per pound of car weight, quicker acceleration, easier hill- climbing and greater flexibility, than are available in any other car at anywhere near the Oakland price. Because of the Oakland policy of focusing its whole energies upon a single chassis type of proved capacity, he commands a value much greater than would otherwise be possible. Because of the size and stability of Oakland he is assured of the permanence of his invest- ment, and consequently of the relatively high re-sale value of his car. The Record of the Oakland Behind the present Oakland Sensible Six as an endorsement, is the record of more than 200,000 other Oaklands of similar type, already satisfactorily serving owners. These owners report performance of a re- markably efficient character, with returns of from 18 to 25 milesto the gallon of gasoline, and from 8,000 to 12,000 miles on tires. Ready for your inspection now are Oak- " land cars of similar calibre, in Open Car, Coupe, Roadster and Sedan models. We shall be glad at any time to demon- strate the Oakland to you.
