SAYS "TRUE BLUE"
PHRASE SIGNIFIES
OAKLAND'S MERITS
Burns and Scott Used 1t to
Describe Loyalty and
Staunchness.

How the new 1924 line Of Oakland
motor cars received the name true
blue is a question asked everywhere
by the public.
The answer is interesting. In order
to enhance the artistic appearance and
individuality of the Oakland ears pro-
duced by the pleasing body lines and
top construction, it was decided to
finish all the bodies in color. AS a
result. the Oakland is the only car in
its price class today that is furnishing
standard bodies in other than black.

ent from all other cars in the same
class. says {. +. KOehler of the Koch
ler-Kunkel motor company.
The second reason was that the
phrase true blue" most adequately
desC ribbed the line. The phrase appears
TO have originated in the seventeenth
century and to have been used later
in the writings of Robert Burns and
Sir Walter Scott. The significance OF
"tre blue" is faithful. staunch. real.
unwavering. genuine. sterling; also it
has stood for loyalty, fidelity and n
spotless reputation.
Thus for nearly three centuries the
