Oatkland Asks You to Measure Value ona Known Mileage Basis" Confronted withsomany different motor cars—particularly in the light-six field—it is mighty com- forting for the motor car buyer to have such a definite and accurate standard for measuring motor car quality as that afforded by Oakland’s new ‘‘Mileage Basis’’ plan! With this plan, you can determine, in advance, the actual number of satisfying miles an Oak- “land Six will deliver free from repairs or replacements. Features of The Plan An Oakland 6-44 will travel at least 40,000 miles before its main crankshaft or connecting rod bearings require attention. Its special steel alloy valves will not need grinding short of 15,000 miles. It will average from 20 to 25 miles per llon of gasoline and from 15,000 to ,000 miles per set of tires. Moreover, in addition to these things, Oakland continues its special written, 15,000 mile engine performance s Let us explain the com- plete details—and then weigh these Oakland figures in the light of your ‘own past experience with cars of other makes. You will then apprec- iate what high quality of materials and what precise workmanship are built into the Oakland “6”.
