OLDSMOBILE

1,177,000 MILES OLD.

Round and round the four mile track at the General Motors Proving Ground went the Oldsmobile experimental cars. Thousands after thousands of miles over all types of roads. Up hill and down hill, at all speeds; tested on grades up to 23%; back and forth through water hub deep. Thus these first cars réceived their baptism in order that your motor car might be

made the finer.

Through the results of this testing and re-testing, checking and re-checking, each item recorded accurately, the Oldsmobile Six was fashioned and formed.

The great resources of the General Motors Corporation were concentrated so that this fine car of low price might be produced-and proved before the first one was ever offered for
