Mr. Howell took over entirely the
task of obtaining satisfactory quarters
for the various members of the delega

nnd the nomination of Underwood, the
seconding speech being- made by J.
* Randolph Anderson, of Savannah.

BESSIE TIFT»
CAMPAIGN BEGUN
Pastors and laymen representing the
fourteen Baptist churches of Atlanta
met today at the Aragon hotel to plan
an active campaign for Bessie Tift
college, the girls’ school near Atlanta,
which is trying to raise an endow
ment fund of $360,000. Actual solici
tations will begin tomorrow, and the
field workers are confident that Atlanta
will give so freely as to make up the
$150,000 balance needed.
“Atlanta has shown her famous spirit
in the ready response given to Bessie
Tift's call,’’ said Dr. C. H. S. Jackson,
president. “In every church where the
Bessie Tift fund was the subject of an
address yesterday, the congregation
showed Intense interest, and at infor
mal meetings held after these services
a willingness to give time and money
to the movement was readily indicated.
Prominent Baptists tell me that At
lanta will give as freely to Bessie Tift
as it did to Agnes Scott several years
ago."
Headquarters have been opened by
the workers at 411 Atlanta National
Bank building. Yesterday was “field
day" in the Atlanta churches, when
thirteen Baptist pulpits were occupied
by friends of Bessie Tift, who ex
plained the movement to the congre
gations. The workers expect to com
plete a fund of $300,000, upon which a
gift of $60,000 from Captain H. H. H.
Tift depends. It Is to be devoted to
equipping the college for educating
more Georgia girls. ,

PREP SCHOOLS OF
SOUTH EFFICIENT
Southern preparatory schools are no
longer deficient in manual training prepa
ration and for this reason the apprentice
class at Georgia Tech may be abolished,
according to the annual report of the
board of trustees filed with Governor
Brown today.
The rapid /increase in manual training
facilities of Southern secondary schools
brings students to Georgia Tech well pre
pared to enter the first year without the
apprentice class probation. This condi
tion, says the annual report, has come
about in the last two years, showing that
Southern schools are keeping abreast with
their northern rivals.
The report made to the governor by
Chairman N. E. Harris recommends that
the apprentice class be abolished. When
Tech was established. Mr. Harris says,
the student prepared in manual training
was a rarity; now he is the rule.
Most Successful Year,
The trustees urge the necessity of a
SIO,OOO increase in ttye state's maintenance
appropriation. This President Matheson
seconds in his annual report filed with the
trustees.
The* increased activities of the institu
tion, the authorities assert, require in
creased maintenance funds.
The trustees report that the current
year is the most successful in the history
of the school, and with an increased ap
propriation the institution easily can
maintain its reputation as the best tech
nical school in the South.

“THE CAR WITH A CONSCIENCE”
A NEW DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE
AWAY from the old, cut and dried expressions.
Away from the many meaningless, hackneyed
automobile phrases. Away from the every-day methods
of motor car advertising. They are not for us.
Like Oakland cars —we believe in being distinctive in our advertising.
We believe in doing things in a different way—the right way —the sane
way. t
We have but one aim in our publicity—and that is to say just enough
about Oakland cars to make you want to see them.
And then, the cars will do all the convincing necessary. That’s the faith
we have in our 1912 models —and the faith in your good judgment.
You are going to admire Oaklands out of a sense of fairness.
Did you ever read an automobile advertisement that didn’t claim the maximum of acces
sibility, reliability and efficiency? Os course, you have noticed the sameness in the adver
tisements. Everybody is talking about the similarity of claims.
There is a difference in automobile design and construction. There is a difference in
material and methods, regardless of the public statements made by companies. Good
cars are not born in a day, nor a month. Cars must be proven by months and months of
hard road work.
The Oakland Motor Company has never mark
eted an experiment. The first car made in
1908 is running today. Honesty in maufactur
ing may be old in principle bnt it is even wel
come in these days of commercial strife.
Increased production, year after year, can only
mean that we have bnilded well, and that Oak
land cars have met with favor.
From a small beginning of 500 cars the first
year, we have grown to 8,000 cars in 1912. The
growth has been steady—each year increasing
the production to meet the increased demand
for cars.
Oaklands have won their place by proof of serv
ice—by giving the satisfaction demanded of a
carefully built machine. That’s all and that’s
the only reason for our success. It’s been based
on performance. It’s been real. We have “de
livered the goods.”
That’s why we want prospective purchasers to
look into Oakland cars. We are proud of them.
We know the high standards they represent.
We know the care that has been taken in the de
sign and construction. We know with what
exactness they are finished; how thoroughly each
car is tried and tested. It’s natural that we
should be so enthusiastic about our cars, and such
real enthusiasm can only come from a duty well
performed. ,
And we want you to know the things we know.
Step into our salesroom. Go over the line with
one of our men. See for yourself. Prove the
things we say in this advertisement. Take
model after model.
Begin at Model “45”—the seven-passenger
Touring Car. It sells for $2,100, Remember
that. Go over it carefully. Notice the details.
“What a beautifully finished car,” will he your
first comment. You will notice the design, too,
the exclusiveness of it—the roominess of the
the many other details. It’s a great
car for $2,100. It would be good for $3,000.
With a good mental picture of this car, compare
it with any car on the market up to $3,600.

That’s our faith in this car. You will decide as
others have, that this model is an exceptional
rar at the list price.
Model “40”—five-passenger Touring Car was de
signed and built for the special purpose of meet
ing the big demand for a car of sufficient horse
power. and having refined details, to sell at a
medium price. At $1,450 this car fills every
want for comfort, power, speed and reliability.
There is also built on this chassis one of the
unique cars of the year—a single seated, three
passenger roadster, at $1,450.
Model “30” Touring Oar is a leader in the $1,250
class. It’s not a small car, either, having a
wheel base of 106 inches. It’s a comfortable,
five-passenger touring car and finished with the
same care and attention given the costlier mod
els. This car will surprise you in looks and in
action.
And then, there is the Oakland “Oriole”—a 30-
horsepower runabout that has every require
ment you could wish. This is a smart runabout
—pleasing to look at, and has the speed, when
called upon, for it has a track record of sixty
three miles an hour.
Oakland efficiency has been proven—proven in
many hill climbs and in competitive long dis
tance tours. During the season of 1911 the
Oakland received a place in every contest en
tered. Think of that—winning 18 events, and
received perfect scores in every tour, and in one,
the hardest run of the year, given by the Buffalo
Automobile Club, captured the Sweepstakes
Trophy.
This record proves more than efficiency. It
proves superiority, for we won from many oars.
TTiiR superiority proves leadership—a leadership
not disputed by any manufacturer.
Prospective purchasers should make it a point
to see Oakland ears. They are made in three
chassis sizes and many body designs. Send for
a copy of “Sweet is Victory,” and the Oakland
catalog.
