Nd REDUCTION ON
THE OAKLAND SIX
THE OAKLAND FACTORY AN
NOUNCES MAINTENANCE OF
PRESENT PRICES FOR AT
LEAST NINE MONTHS.

The Southern Oakland company
and all Oakland dealers are author
lied by the Oakland Motor Car COM
pany to announce that no price
change from the present basis down
ward is anticipated prior to July l,
1921.
1t is the well-founded opinion of
all manufacturers that the tempta-
ton to cut quality is greater when
nrices are reduced; and being the
basic policy of the Oakland Motor
Car company to maintain quality
in the building of a moderate priced
six-cylinder car, the public may eX-
pect even greater car value IN the
Oakland Sensible Six.
At a recent meeting of Oakland
dealers and statesmen, conducted by
Mr.. w, H. Masten, assistant gener-
al manager of the Oakland Motor
Car company, the above facts We're
brought forth and are now confirm
ed by Mr.. Fred w. Warner, president
and general manager, in communl-
cation received by Shields-Geise Mo-
tor Co., local Oakland dealers.
In commenting on this informa-
ton from the factory Mr.. Shields
is particularly gratified that this an
nouncement bears out the position
constantly maintained by this organ
ization that Oakland cars have al
ways been marketed at fair price.

GRIP.

Grip usually starts just the same
as a cold with a watery discharge
from the nose. You are much more
likely to contract the grip when you
have a cold. For that reason when
grip is prevalent you should go to
bed as soon as you feel that you are
taking cold and stay in bed until
fully recovered, which should not be
long if you take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Three days in bed
now is better than three weeks later
