OLDSMOBILE EIGHT ON DISPLAY HERE
 DURING THE FAIR

The fact that the Olds Motor Works 1 manufacturers of the world famous Olds- mobile line of motor cars, has been a successfully operated business for 2r years should have great weight with the prospective buyer" said J. A. Schmook, factory representative, who is in Birmingham.
 That the Oldsmobile is a quality car throughout is attested by it's many sat- isfed owners and drivers. The same fine material, special alloys, accurate con- struction, and precise workmanship q found in every OIdsmobile car. Refine ments are not lacking Yet the car is not faddish.
 The car is built to meet the approval of the critical, conservative buyer. There is no stinting on the part of the manu- facturers. Standard equipment on tie cars prove that All is of standard make and highest type. Upholstering Is done in genuine leather.
 Tn the painting and vanishing, 1T operations are gone through, and the f1n est paints areu sed to secure the beauti- ful finished. Nickel and enameled fittings are used. Genuine walnut ;n- strument board Gan Oldsmobile feature) and walnut steering wheel, notched for easy handling, are found on every car as standard equipment
 The body combines a beautiful flow of line with conservatism. Hung on springs of great length and well pro- portioned, it affords great resiliencs ayd greatest comfort. Road shocks are re- duced to minimum
 The power plant, an eight-cylinder " type high-speed motor, is capable of developing 56 horse power. And as the weight of the entire car is slightly un- der 3000 pounds, the horse power weight ratio is one horse power to every 53 pounds car weight. The notable features of this power plant are first, it's sim plicity, secondly its flexibility and ease of control its remarkable acceleration from a speed of four miles an hour up to 40, the ability to throttle down to two and three miles an hour, thus doing away with the necessity of constant gear shifting in traffic-conges districts.
 This wonder car can be seen at display rooms of the w. H. Irwin Motor Car company, 2314 First avenue, and a spe- cially cut out show chassis will be on display I will be at hand to explain the operation and answer all questions All State Fair visitors are cordially invited to see and inspect the Oldsmobile exhibit at the showroom.''
