Federal Tax Add?rional 4735A The Luxury of 8-Cylinder Performance at an Amagzingly Lower Price IN these days when automobile buying is submitted to the L acid test of value, we believe you will admit that any car that attains leadership in its particular field must have sound reasons for doing so. Bearing in mind these facts, we confidently submit an unequivocal statement about the Oldsmobile 8-cylinder, Model “47.” We hope you will take the trouble not merely to accept or reject.it, but to verify it with your own personal judgment. And that is this. In view of its recently reduced price, of its performance-records all over the country, and of the univer- sal enthusiasm for the car wherever it is known, we believe that no motor cas of the present. day represents a greater exchange-per-dollar value. As you know, the main reason for 8-cylinder design is a minimum of vibration for a greater and smoother application of power at all speeds—with less strain on the motor and all parts of the car. The Oldsmobile “47” represents the very latest design in 8-cylinder refinement. To the best accepted 8-cylinder prin- ciples in this country and abroad it has added ideas and im- provements that are not obtainable in cars of earlier design. The reason, in a word, for the outstanding success of the Oldsmobile “47” is the exemplification of 8-cylinder driving luxury in a graceful, well-designed car of comparatively light weight and unusually modest price. We can ask no greater fayor than that yoy carefully inspect its graceful appearance, its refinements of design, appoint- ments and quality of basic material. Ride in this car—drive it yourself. For once t{lou actually experience its ease in handling—and above all the wonderful range and comfort of its friving performance—we gla§ly abide by the verdict of your unbiased judgment, T — e T ——————— OLDSMOBILE SALES COMPANY 1016-1018 Connecticut Avenue Telephone Main 7837 ~ Open Sundays and Evenings During the Week = a
