The Oakland Motor Company has never mark
eted an experiment. The first car made in
1908 is running today. Honesty in maufactur-
ing may be old in principle but it is even well
come in these days of commercial strife.
Increased production, year after year. can only
mean that we have builded WELL and that Oak
land cars have met with favor.
From small beginning of 500 ears the first
year. we have grown to 5000 cars in 1912. The
growth has been steadv-each year increasing
the production to meet the increased demand
for cars.
Oaklands have won their place by proof of serv-
ice-by giving the satisfaction demanded of
carefully built machine That's all-and that's
the only reason for our success. It's been based
on performance It's been real We have de-
livered the goods
That's why we want prospective purchasers to
look into Oakland cars. We are proud of them
We know the high standards they represent.
We know the care that has been taken in the de-
sign and construction We know with what
exactness they are finished how thoroughly each
car is tried and tested. It's natural that we
should be so enthusiastic about our cars and such
real enthusiasm can only come from duty well
performed
And we want you to know the things we know
Step into our salesroom Go over the line with
one of our men See for yourself Prove the
things we say in this advertisement. Take

With good mental picture of this car, compare
it with any car on the market up to $780,
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1912-06-18

That's our faith IN this car. You will decide
others have, that this model is exceptional
car at the list price.
Model "40"-fve- passenger Touring Car was de-
signed and built for the special purpose of meet
ing the big demand for of sufficient horse
power, and having refined details, to sell at a
medium price. At $1,450 this car fills every
want for comfort, power speed and reliability.
There is also built this chassis one of the
unique cars of the year-a single seated, three
passenger roadster, at 81, $50.
Model ''30' Touring Car is leader in the S. $50
class It's not small car, either having
wheel base of 100 inches. It's a comfortable,
ve-passenger touring and finished with the
same care and attention given the costher mod
els. This will surprise you in looks and ia
action.
And then, there is the Oakland 'Oriole "a 30
horsepower runabout that has every require
ment you could wish. This is smart runabout
pleasing to look at, and has the speed, when
called upon, for it has track record of sixty
three miles an hour.
Oakland efficiency has been proven-proven in
many hill climbs and in competitive long dis
lance tours During the season Of 1911 the
Oakland received place in every contest en-
tered Think of that-winning 10 events, and
received perfect scores in every tour, and in one
the hardest run of the year. given by the Buffalo
Automobile Club, captured the Sweepstakes
Trophy.
This record proves more than efficiency It
proves superiority, for we won from many cars
This superiority proves leadership leadership
not disputed by any manufacturer.
Prospective purchasers should make it point
to see Oakland cars. They are made in three
chassis sizes and many body designs. Send for
a copy of ''Sweet is Victory and the Oakland
catalog
