The GUARANTEED Car That Makes Good 
Oakland’s Promise 
ible, more economical or more unwav¬ 
eringly dependable. 
They will praise its wonderful six- 
cylinder, overhead-valve engine, which 
insure such abundant power with all of 
the flexibility and quiet natural to a six. 
They will tell you of its unusual pulling 
power through mud and sand; of its 
uncommon hill-climbing ability; of its 
troubleproof construction which makes 
it such an ideal car on the farm and in 
communities far removed from service 
or garage facilities. 
Nor will they fail to tell you of the care 
and attention given to details of com¬ 
fort and convenience: long, buoyant 
springs; unusually roomy body; door- 
opening curtains; genuine leather up¬ 
holstery; cord tires, and other similarly 
high grade and complete equipment. 
Examine this New Oakland yourself. 
Remember, it is the only car in the 
world that carries, in addition to the 
manufacturer’s standard warranty— 
a special written 15,000 mile perform¬ 
ance guaranty; and yet—at the reduced 
prices announced August first, it is 
one of the world’s lowest-priced sixes. 
Many months ago the Oakland Motor 
Car Company announced its purpose 
to build the finest light-six in the world. 
It was admirably equipped to under¬ 
take this difficult task. 
As a permanent division of General 
Motors Corporation, it was enabled to 
utilize the technical genius of the 
General Motors laboratories, as well 
as its own six years of experience in 
manufacturing light-sixes exclusively. 
Oakland held fast to its purpose. It 
built the finest motor car that the sum 
of this engineering and manufacturing 
genius could build. It called this car 
The New Oakland Six-44. 
So certain was Oakland that its new 
car was right, that it placed upon it 
—in addition to the manufacturer’s 
standard warranty—a special written 
15,000 mile performance guarantee. 
Many thousand New Oaklands are 
now in service. If you would learn 
whether Oakland has accomplished its 
high purpose—question any one of 
these thousands of owners. 
They will tell you that they have never 
driven a car more powerful, more flex-

dark green sward, especially on rather 
sandy soil, but best results follow a mix¬

The advantage of a grass mixture is that 
if one variety does not make a good 
growth, another will.
