THE CAR WITH A CONSCIENCE"
Accuracy

We do not guess about anything.
Every unit is Crue-true as To quail
ity of material and measurements.
The Oakland mechanism repre-
sents the best in metals. For after
all, an automobile is built almost
entirely OF metals.
The Northway Motor and Manu-
featuring Co., the General Motors
subsidiary making Oakland motors,
started making motors when only 5
per cent of the existing automobile
companies organized.
They know how TO build motors
as no other company.
What is true of the motor, is true
of every other component part.
Each represents skilled labor and
honest material.
Accuracy in the building of mo-
tor car insures long life. 1t is only
the haphazard, loosely built car that
soon finds its way TO the scrap heap.
We build thousands of cars in
year so our machines are standard
lied. Every part fits accurately.
Oakland cars are made in four and
six cylinder models, in wide range
of body designs. $3.50 to $4,000, fully

This rice was grown from imported
