It means also that degree of dependability which enables the Oaklind owner to use his car day in and day out, with the minimum necessity for repair. It includes likewise that roominess and comfort which make the Oakland delight- ful as well as profitable to the man or the family that possesses it. And it involves that stability of design, that soundness of construction, which are responsible for the Oakland’s relatively high re-sale value. - ECONOMY, as exemplified in the Oak- Factors in Oakland Economy Chiefly important in Qakland operating economy is the six-cylinder Oakland engine of overhead-valve design, the type used 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. Aiding its efficiency are very light but strong reciprocating parts which minimize vibration, a_superior method of vaporizing fuel, and the best lubricating system yet devised. : In no other motor car in the world at Oakland’s price can you'get these impor- tant features, and the able, flexible and eco- nomical performance consequent upon them. Benefits to the Oakland Owner Supplementing the Oakland engine as a fac- tor in operating economy is the simple, strong and lightweight Oakland chassis. This chassis embodies the best principles of accepted engineering practice, and does so without burgening the car with a single pound of unnecessary weight. It plays an essential part in delivering the Oakland owner a measure of combined effi- ciency and low cost from his car which we believe is without rival in any other auto- mobile. It helps the Oakland owner realize more miles from the gallon -of gasoline, more power per pound of car weight, quicker get- away, easier hill-climbing and greater flexi- bility, than are available in any other car at anywhere near the Oakland price. The Source of Oakland Value These and other phases of Oakland economy are based, fundamentally, upon the policies, methods and manufacturing resources of the Oakland Company. The very low purchase price of the car is a direct result of the concentration of Oakland’s whole energies upon the produe- OAKLAND SENSI DEALERS : H. W. Burr, 1709 L Street N.W., Washington, D. C.

C. tion of a single chassis type of proved capacity. The remarkableserviceability of the present Oakland is direcgly due likewise to six years spent by its builders in the development and refinement of this type of car. The Company behind the Oakland is to- day the world’s seventh largest manufacturer of automobiles, and an important unit of the General Motors Corporation, the largest automobile producing organization on earth. The Record Behind the Oakland Whether the Oakland you buy be an Open Car, Roadster, Coupe or Sedan model, the high character of service it will deliver you already is vouched for. For every new Oakland has behind it as an endorsement, the record of more than 200,- 000 other Oaklands of similar type, already serving satisfactorily in the hands of owners. . These owners report returns from their cars of from 18 to 25 miles to the gallon of gasoline, and from 8,000 to 12,000 miles on tires. If you intend buying a new car, and wish one that is economical from the moment of purchase to its last day of usefulness, arrange now for your Oakland demonstration.
