CAD|LLAQUA
 WATER FETE
Unique Diction Employed by Detroit Auto Men in Inviting Clubs to the Fes- tivities to Be Held July 2227

1 Detroit July Eff Cadillaqua-the big l water fete to be held July 22-27-does | not draw to Detroit the greatest crowd of automobile people ever gathered in one city, it will not be the fault of the committee of Detroit citizens who drafted the most elaborate invitation and caused it to be printed on hand made paper in beautiful colors-that was ever sent to automobile clubs.
 The invitation worked out by John A. Russell of Detroit, and some of the big advertising men connected with the automobile concerns, including H. w. FOrr. of the Chalmers Motor Car com pany. Ralph Estep, of the Packard Mo- tor Car company; F. Le Roy Pelletiar, of the MetZger Motor Car company; c. C. Winningham, of the Hudson Motor Car company: James Evans of the Lo- zier, and others. contains some beauti- ful diction that features our early books of history. It extends a welcome that the automobile capital of the world could not make more hearty. Practi- cally every automobile club in America was sent a copy of this invitation. It is most artistic, and the wording is ali most bound to appeal to everyone whose attention is called to it. Following is the invitation:-

Sometime Commandant of the forces of His Majesty at Fort POntchartrain. in the Government of New France and Louisiana, Seigneur of all the territOr- ies around the settlement formerly called ieughsagrondie of Wawyachte- mock. anG more recently the Fort de TrOit oy and with the consent of our most noble Lord, Jerome Phelyppeaux, Count Pcntchartrain, Minister of Ma rine to the Kings Most Catholic Ma jesty; and with the approval of the Chevalie,' Louis Hector de Callieras , BOnnevuC.
