              OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET INCOME & GROWTH FUND
                    Supplement dated January 3, 1995 
                 to the Prospectus dated October 1, 1994



The Prospectus is amended as follows:

1.   The supplement dated November 1, 1994 to the Prospectus is no longer
     in effect.

2.   The second sentence of the section captioned "Organization and
     History" under "How the Fund is Managed" on page 10 is revised to
     read as follows:  "The Fund is a diversified mutual fund and
     commenced operations on February 3, 1988."

3.   (a)  The section captioned "At What Price Are Shares Sold?" under
     "How to Buy Shares" on page 15 is amended to change the time of day
     at which the net asset value is determined, by revising the second
     sentence to read as follows: "In most cases, to enable you to receive
     that day's offering price, the Distributor must receive your order
     by the time of day The New York Stock Exchange closes, which is
     normally 4:00 P.M., New York time, but may be earlier on some days
     (all references to time in this Prospectus mean "New York time")." 
     

     (b)  The fourth sentence of the section captioned "At What Price Are
     Shares Sold?" under "How to Buy Shares" on page 15 is revised to read
     as follows: "If you buy shares through a dealer, the dealer must
     receive your order by the close of The New York Stock Exchange on a
     regular business day and transmit it to the Distributor so that it
     is received before the Distributor's close of business that day,
     which is normally 5:00 P.M."

4.   The third paragraph of the section captioned "Waivers of Class A
     Sales Charges" under "How to Buy Shares" on page 17 is revised to add
     the following new subsection at the end thereof:  "and (5) if, at the
     time an order is placed for Class A shares that would otherwise be
     subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the dealer
     agrees to accept the dealer's portion of the commission payable on
     the sale in installments of 1/18th of the commission per month (with
     no further commission payable if the shares are redeemed within 18
     months of purchase)."

5.   The second sentence of the section captioned "Selling Shares by
     Telephone" under "How to Sell Shares" on page 22 is revised to read
     as follows: "To receive the redemption price on a regular business
     day, your call must be received by the Transfer Agent by the close
     of The New York Stock Exchange that day, which is normally 4:00 P.M.,
     but may be earlier on some days."




6.   The section captioned "How To Exchange Shares" on page 23 is amended
     by revising the first sentence in the first "bulleted" paragraph
     following "Telephone Exchange Requests" to read as two sentences as
     follows: "Shares are normally redeemed from one fund and purchased
     from the other fund in the exchange transaction on the same regular
     business day on which the Transfer Agent receives an exchange request
     that is in proper form by the close of The New York Stock Exchange
     that day, which is normally 4:00 P.M., but may be earlier on some
     days.  However, either fund may delay the purchase of shares of the
     fund you are exchanging into if it determines it would be
     disadvantaged by a same-day transfer of the proceeds to buy shares."


7.   The first sentence of the section captioned "Net Asset Value Per
     Share" under "Shareholder Account Rules and Policies" on page 24 is
     revised to read as follows: "Net Asset Value Per Share is determined
     for each class of shares as of the close of The New York Stock
     Exchange on each regular business day by dividing the value of the
     Fund's net assets attributable to a class by the number of shares of
     that class that are outstanding."

          for sales of Class B shares described in the third

          offering price of Class A shares and (2) .50% of the
          offering price of Class B shares sold by a registered
          representative of a participating broker or dealer or
          a sales representative of a participating financial
          institution that has a sales agreement with the
          Distributor.  "Qualifying transactions" are sales in
          the amount of $150,000 or more (calculated at
          offering price) of Class A and/or Class B shares (if
          available) of any one or more of the following

          Intent.  



     January 3, 1995

              OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET INCOME & GROWTH FUND
                    Supplement dated January 3, 1995
    to the Statement of Additional Information dated October 1, 1994

The Statement of Additional Information is amended as follows:

1.   The first sentence of the section entitled "Determination of Net
     Asset Value Per Share" under "How to Buy Shares" on page 24 is
     amended to read as follows, and a new second sentence is added
     to that section as follows: "The net asset values per share of
     Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Fund are determined
     as of the close of business of The New York Stock Exchange (the
     "NYSE") on each day that the NYSE is open by dividing the Fund's
     net assets attributable to a class by the number of shares of
     that class that are outstanding.  The NYSE normally closes at
     4:00 P.M., New York time, but may close earlier on some days
     (for example, in case of weather emergencies or on days falling
     before a holiday)."  

2.   The section entitled "AccountLink" under "How to Buy Shares" on
     page 25 is revised by replacing the text after the second
     sentence with the following:  "Dividends will begin to accrue
     on shares purchased by the proceeds of ACH transfers on the
     business day the Fund receives Federal Funds for the purchase
     through the ACH system before the close of the NYSE.  The NYSE
     normally closes at 4:00 P.M., but may close earlier on certain
     days.  If Federal Funds are received on a business day after the
     close of the NYSE, the shares will be purchased and dividends
     will begin to accrue on the next regular business day.  The
     proceeds of ACH transfers are normally received by the Fund
     three days after the transfers are initiated.  The Distributor
     and the Fund are not responsible for any delays in purchasing
     shares resulting from delays in ACH transmissions." 

3.   The second sentence of the section entitled "Special
     Arrangements for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers"
     under "How to Sell Shares" on page 30 is amended to read as
     follows: "The repurchase price per share will be the net asset
     value next computed after the Distributor receives the order
     placed by the dealer or broker, except that if the Distributor
     receives a repurchase order from a dealer or broker after the
     close of the NYSE on a regular business day, it will be
     processed at that day's net asset value if the order was
     received by the dealer or broker from its customer prior to the
     time the NYSE closes (normally, that is 4:00 P.M., but may be
     earlier on some days) and the order was transmitted to and
     received by the Distributor prior to its close of business that
     day (normally 5:00 P.M.)."

January 3, 1995
