One of the essential needs OF the
farmer is long time loans at a low rate
OF interest. and the Democratic party
was so impressed with the system of
rural credits adopted in other coun-
tries that II said. here is another
chance for getting the farmer vote.
So it spread this molasses in its Bal
timore platform: "Of equal import
ance with the question of currency re-
form is the question of rural credits
or agricultural finance" Sure. The
President emphasized this in his mess
age to Congress. December 2, 1913.
when he said: Il present to you in
addition the urgent necessity that
special provision be made also for IA.
eilitating the credits needed by the
farmers OF the country"
How did the farmer fare? He was
ignored. The currency act was passed.
Depend on the Democrats for increas-
ing the flow of money. They needed
it. Here was a real opportunity to
help the farmer. a chance TO redeem
the platform pledge. but the President
turned his back on the rural credit bill
and had IT killed by his plant tools in
caucus. These are some OF the things
that Democracy has done for the farm.

A Few Words About
the Motor

The latest engineering develop
ments, both in America and in Eu-
rope, point Enthusiastically to the su-
perior efficiency of the compact,
small bore four-cylinder motor,
with overhead valves, for a car of
its weight.
The unit power plant of the new
Oldsmobile is of this modern type.
All valves are enclosed, and all
working parts covered. It's four
cylinders, measuring 3hx5, are
cast en- bloc, with specially de-
signed Oldsmobile silencer; and ex-
haustive road tests show great
fleXibility with a wide range of
speed. The motor is mounted on
the main frame, with three-point
suspension.
This is unmistakably the car for
the man who seeks distinction
without extra cost-who demands
in the car of his selection all that
"Oldsmobile" has meant since mo-
tor cars were first built. Hundreds
of dealers are now ready to show
it. Our new catalog "B" describes
and illustrates the new car in de-
tail. Write for it today.

True OldsmObile Quality

People will naturally think that
to reach this low price, we have
sacrificed Oldsmobile quality-un-
til they examine the car.
This new Light -Four" is a gen.
uine Oldsmobile-in design, in
carefulness of construction and fin
ish, in completeness of detail and
equipment. Everywhere it carries
out the idea of what an Oldsmobile
should bean aristocrat in appear
ance and performance.
For the last two years, there has
been an increasing and insistent
call for a smaller, lighter colds
mobile" built with the character
istic completeness and refinement
that has marked the big Oldsmo-
bile "Six." We have planned care
fully to meet this demand-not has
tily, for we knew the market would
be ready as soon as we we're
but step by step, seeking the type
of car that would fill this demand,
not for one season, but for many
seasons to come.
How well we have succeeded you
shall Judge. The new Oldsmobile is
now ready-in the salesrooms of
our hundreds of dealers--for your
inspection.

equipment on cars costing twice
as much as this, yet we include it
on the light Oldsmobile at no eX-

All woodwork is of handsomely
grained Circassian walnut. The
dash unit, of the same beautiful
wood, brings all instruments, set

miration of the critical, are dupli

Extra large gasoline tank fastened
to main frame in rear. Concealed

hickory; twelve spokes, front and

No Light Car So Complete

See how carefully we have
worked out Oldsmobile complete
ness. You won't be able to think
of purchasing the ordinary "popu-
lar-priced" car after you have
looked into this new car closely.
Wide 22-inch doors, comfortable
for even the largest person. Wide
seats, and ample room for your
legs. For the driver, 201s inches
from cushion edge to clutch pedal,
means comfort and freedom. Deep,
luxurious upholstering, and long,
easy springs, balanced perfectly,
absorb road shocks and vibrations.

factory: "Just like looking at the
greatest six-cylinder car in Amer
lea through a reducing glass"
That describes it. Our large car
has always been celebrated for its
beautiful lines and harmonious pro-
portions. The same grace and
beauty are apparent in the smaller
Oldsmobile, reduced in wheelbase
length to 112 inches.
It's low center of gravity makes
it seem to "hug the ground" yet
it has ample road clearance.
