OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET INCOME & GROWTH FUND
Supplement dated April 20, 1998 to the
Prospectus dated December 8, 1997
The Prospectus is changed as follows:
1. The fourth and fifth sentences of the sub-section captioned "Who Manages the
Fund" in "A Brief Overview of the Fund" on page 6 are revised as follows:
Effective April 20, 1998, the Fund's portfolio managers are Charles Albers
and Nikolaos Monoyios, who are employed by the Manager. They are the
individuals primarily responsible for the selection of the Fund's
securities.
2. The following sub-section is added at the end of the section captioned
"Investment Objective and Policies" in "Investment Policies and Strategies" on
page 15:
o Year 2000 Risks. Because many computer software systems in use today
cannot distinguish the year 2000 from the year 1900, the markets for securities
in which the Fund invests could be detrimentally affected by computer failures
beginning January 1, 2000. Failure of computer systems used for securities
trading could result in settlement and liquidity problems for the Fund and other
investors. Data processing errors by corporate and government issuers of
securities could result in production problems and economic uncertainties, and
those issuers may incur substantial costs in attempting to prevent or fix such
errors, all of which could have a negative effect on the Fund's investments and
returns.
3. The following paragraph is added at the end of the section captioned, "The
Manager and Its Affiliates" in "How the Fund is Managed" on page 21:
The management services provided to the Fund by the Manager, and the
services provided by the Distributor and the Transfer Agent to shareholders,
depend on the smooth functioning of their computer systems. Many computer
software systems in use today cannot distinguish the year 2000 from the year
1900 because of the way dates are encoded and calculated. That failure could
have a negative impact on handling securities trades, pricing and account
services. The Manager, the Distributor and Transfer Agent have been actively
working on necessary changes to their computer systems to deal with the year
2000 and expect that their systems will be adapted in time for that event,
although there cannot be assurance of success. Additionally, because the
services they provide depend on the interaction of their computer systems with
the computer systems of brokers, information services and other parties, any
failure on the part of the computer systems of those third parties to deal with
the year 2000 may also have a negative effect on the services provided to the
Fund.

5. The fourth sub-paragraph in Waivers of the Class A Contingent Deferred Sales
charge for Certain Redemptions on page 35 is revised as follows:
