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, un
dergone 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 reserva
tion, 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 ex
plain 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.
