When You Buy a Car You
Should Have Factory Service
Back of You
Die selling of Oakland Automobiles does not end with
delivering a car to the purchaser. I his company is as much
interested as the owner in seeing that the Oakland is ready to
run at all times, and under all conditions.
To accomplish this, we have in connection with our At
lanta branch a service department, which is not equalled by
that of any local motor car branch. We have brought to At
lanta from our factory trained mechanics, who KNOW the
Oakland to the minutest detail of our Unit Power Plant. Our
service department is ready to serve Oakland owners with
courteous and generous treatment at all times.
Knowing that Oakland Automobiles represent the BEST
motor car manufacturing principles, and are lar in the lead in
automobile making and designing, we know that the Oakland
is the best buy. Not a single hobby or experiment is ever en
tered into Oakland construction. There is a good reason for
everything we do, and for every part that goes into an Oak
land automobile. Aside from the mechanical excellence, we
are leaders in body design, equipment and other details de
manded by the exacting purchaser.
If you contemplate purchasing a car, bear in mind always
that our service stands back of every car we sell.

LITTLE BIDDING FOR
NASHVILLE FRANCHISE
r NASHVILLE. TENN.. July 29 “if
: there nas been any move by local capi
i talists to buy the franchise of the Nash
- ville Baseball association 1 know nothing
* of it,” stated a promiment official of the
local baseball organization last night.
Little Rock at present seems to be the
> only bidder, and their offer of $25,000 has
‘ been turned down in view of the fact that
the local club is making one grand effort
to retain it.
I A vague rumor, was in circulation yes
terday-in fact, very vague ty the effect
that Nashville would turn down Little
; Rock’s offer and sell the franchise to local
! men so as to retain it for this city.
One thing is admitted, however, that
> Little Rock can not get the Nashville
• franchise for $25,000. it is said that a
number of local business men have band-
i ed together to purchase the franchise, al
though it was stated last night that.no
offer, excepting Little Rock's, had been
made. . .
It is hardly probable that any decision
will be reached in the matter until late
this week. Perhaps Judge Kavanaugh,
president of the league, will straighten
out matters while in Nashville.
To Decide Here.
Positive assurance was given yesterday
that Judge Kavanaugh will call a meeting
of the board of directors of the Southern
league, and pass judgment on the pending
protested game between Nashville and
Birmingham while he is here. The Vol
unteers protested the fray on the grounds
that the umpiring was inefficient, causing
Nashville to be defeated.
Judge Kavanaugh will arrive in Nash
ville Wednesday morning and remain
here for several days.
