For high quality at low price is the fundamen tal reason for Oldsmobilc's constantly growing success. But even price and value are overshadowed by the com pute and lasting satisfaction that come? with Oldsmobilc ownership. Consider the price only $875 for the two-door sedan. Compare what Olds mobilc offers ypu with what other cars offer. You will discover that it is doubtful economy to pay lees than , Oldstnobilc's price . . . and unnecessary to pay more. For a car of lesser price will never bring you all that 01dmo bilc offers . . . and you'll have to pay more than Oldsmobilc's price to obtain the same fWie qualities in another car.
