say; Il would not purchase a second
hand car under any conditions | hay,
seen too many people stunE purchasing
a second hand car" THIS AkGU.
MENT WILL HOLD GOOD IN SOME
INSTANCES, BUT NOT IN ALI. II
the purchaser buys II used automobile,
the former owner Of which has mis-.
treated it, and the car WaS not put in
thorough condition before delivering il
to the second owner, it would not give
satisfaction, or the n might have
been of inferior make and lt4 manu-
facturers long since gone into the
hands of receivers, and the purchaser
of such a car could not secure parts to
repair the car. This would hc "A poor
purchase.
On the other hand, Il the dealer in
selling a used automobile of reliable
manufacture would thoroughly rebuild
It, putting in new parts 10 take the
place of worn or damaged ones, and
the car thoroughly mSpe, ted and ad.
lusted before delivery to the purchaser,
there is no reason why it should not
give tIrst-cIass satisfaction.
An automobile is different from "A
horse III a great many ways, IN one
fact materially, that if it is not IN
good condition 1t will dr,rIop its
troubles. usually Immediately. while a
horse can be doctorrd to such an extent
that his defects do not show up uUicr
light service. If an AUTOMOBILES runs
well on its first demonstration,
you will usually find the ear IN good
condition.
A Cadillac automobile, having been
handled originally under normal condi-
tons Chat is, where IA ear has not been
in some unusual wreck, and the frame
and general chassis has not been warp
ed or sprung out Of aIignmeuU We viii
guarantee by adjustments and putting
in new parts where needed to make any
Cadillac car regardless Of its age, run As
quietly and develop approximately the
same power rs when new. The question
only arises. Does the general condi-
ton of a used car Justify the expense
Of mechanical time and parts to repair
it?' Therefore, we only rebuild such
ST. cond- hand cars as it iustitios us to Ito
to the best advantage of ourselves and
customers. We secure cars occasion
ally which we sell as they are, without
guarantee. The cars we do guar
antee as being rebuilt have shop
inspection tags on them, giving a gen
eraI description Of their condition and
.overhauling.
A Cadillac car rebuilt by. US, given
normal treatment and the same uttcn-
ton an owner should give a new car,
will give practically as good service ~
a new car.
We submit the following reasons
why it is better to buy "a renewed Ca
dillac than any new car selling at the
same price:
In purchasing a rebuilt Cadillac car
you secure first, easy riding qualities,
a car of sufficient size and weight to
give you ONE pleasure in driving,
distinctive grace Of lines, finish
all round high class workmanship
and material that it would be impoS-
5ible to buy in a cheaper car selling at
the same price as the rebuilt Cadillac
could be sold for.
We also wish to call the reader at
to the organized service we are
prepared to give each Cadillac owner,
We have a first-clas8 corps Of me
thoroughly understanding the
Cadillac cars, and it is rarely We keep
a Cadillac car tied up for the want Of
longer than n or two days.
We have Cadillac service stations in
all important cities in the State. 1t
has been said by authorities who know
that it is better. to buy a car Of some
what inferior quality with well organ,
Ized service behind it than TO buy a car
