has seldom been bo worthily notable as our pres
entation to Philadelphia of the Ferris, which has
for a number of years enjoyed in New York, Chi
cago and on tho Coast a high-class patronage, de
manding a departure from convention in design,
quality of construction and completeness of equip
ment. Ferris cars are, to every intent, custom-built cars;
in design, compelling admiration; in construction,
practically hand-made in their precision of work
manship and finish; in performance, marvels of
power and riding caac.
They are built for tho lover of tho beautiful, who
appreciates artistry in a now and different form,
and recognizes worth in its widest comprehen
siveness. We cordially invito your inspection of tho line.

Compare the 6y2-inch deep
steel frame of the Oakland
Sensible Six with that of any
other car at anywhere near the
Oakland price. Notice how
the entire Oakland chassis re
flects this same sturdiness and
strength. Remember, too,
that the six-cylinder overhead-valve
Oaldand engine
delivers a full 44 horsepower.
Reasons, all, why your next
car should be an Oakland.
