THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPXER, OREGON', THOISOAY. MARCH 28, I91g. ' PAGE FfTB Performance the Greatest Oakland Virtue The owner of an Oakland Sensible Si never fears to put his car in competition with another. He knows that the car he drives is equal to any demand he may put upon it that performance is its greatest ' virtue. The high-speed overhead-valve engine of this Oakland Sensible Six delivers at 2600 r. p. m. one full horse power to every 48 pounds of car weight. No motor in the world carries less weight pet horse, power than this none is spryer, more efficient more saving. With a speed range of from 1 to 55 miles an hour and -trigger-quick acceleration, it is still very economical. It delivers from 18 to 25 miles on every gallon of gaso line, and its even power draws the greatest possible mile . age from the Oakland's oversize tires. We know you will like this new Oakland-for its com fort, its abthty and its value. The price is 1200.
