In the dais of old, when sluggers
slugged the ball out of the ball park

some brainy guy conceived the Idea of
putting those strong-armed blokes out
of business. They discarded the knock

Instead, they deckled to honor the lo

Spring and THE Car
Oldsmobile comfort is a revela
tion; the underslung rear springs
combined with the deep, double
tiered springs of the upholstery,
give riding unexpected smoothness
and ease. Exceptional roominess
and carrying capacity of the body
come from the economy of space
in the use "of the compact, V-type
motor.
The 8 cylinder motor delivers, one
hprse power to every 51 pounds of
weight a ratio so high as 'to as
sure more than ample reserve power
for every emergency of the road.
Remarkable flexibility, quick get
away and spirited pick up at any
speed, together with the elimina
tion of frequent gear shifting, gives
Oldsmobile thriving a real zest de
void of drive strain. Yet the gaso
line consumption is unusually low
even as compared with the less
powerful cars. ,
Oldsmobile country-wide- system
of 'service stations and the generous
full year guarantee are added in
surance of complete satisfaction.
The comfort, power, body design
and coachwork of this Oldsmobile
model 45 meet every desire of the
experienced motorist at a price
several hundred dollars below any
comparable value in a Motor Car.
We shall be, pleased to demonstrate.
