The Cadillac Company is ever alert-lts ear is ever to the ground; 1t feels the throb of the public pulse Yet never has 1t yielded to cia1nor by giving endorsement to prlnc1ples which would take advantage of the uninitiated or the uninformed, even though temporary benefits might accrue
 The experimental division of the Cadillac Company is not excelled i'll the motor industry. We do not believe it is even equalled-
 Every design, every appliance, every idea, every principle offered which has semblance of merit, is subjected to the most gruelling tests.
 For every idea or feature adopted or con- sidered worthy of the Cadillac seal of approval, scores are discarded.
 One reason why most of the new ideas of inventors and manufacturers are first offered to the Cadillac Company IS because these in- ventors and manufacturers realize that with the Cadillac seal of approval, their future is practically certain.
 As an example. take the electrical system of automatic cranking. lighting and ignition, first introduced by the Cadillac Company and now used almost universally
 Take also the two-speed axle introduced in to the present Cadillac, and which engineering authorities on both sides Of the Atlantic are predicting will soon come into general use.
 Witness this from "The Automobile En- g1neer" published in London, England. In commenting upon Cadillac engineering prog ress and Cadillac initiative it says
 "A1ready there is very decided move
 ment among other makers to try and
 provide some type of two-speed rear axle
 similar to the Cadillac, for 1914 or 1915"
 In our experimental division we have built automobile engines of almost every conceiva- ble type and size and have tested scores which we did not make ourselves. We have built them with one with two, with three, with four and with six cylinders. We have never tried five.
 We have cast them ell bloc, we have cast them in pairs and we have cast them singly We have made them with water jackets cast integral and with copper water jackets. We found the latter method most expensive, but the most efficient-hence use 1t.
 We built cars with one cylinder engines, more than 15,000 of them, and they were good ones. "One-1ungers" they were called, and they are practically all going yet, after eight to eleven years of service, hundreds of them having passed the 100 900 mile mark
 We built few ears with two cylinder en- zines and they were as good as that type could possibly be made But we never mar keted any of them although the rumor was current that we intended doing so.
 Yes, and we built cars with three cylinder engines, as good of that type as could be made. Probably few readers ever heard of

ME Cadillac Motor Car Company has al-. l ways believed that there are so many good features in the Cadillac Car that it's ad- vertising space could be best utilized ex- clusively in acquainting the public with those advantages.
 We regret, however, that the occasion arises which makes it appear desirable for to de- part, temporarily, from that policy.
 Inasmuch as it is not possible for us to con- trol the mouth to mouth" advertising with which we are favored, and inasmuch that gTatuitous publicity may sometimes contain clements of inaccuracy, unintentionally per- haps, on the part of the authors we feel that we would not perform the duty which we owe to the public and the duty which we owe to ourselves, if we did not correct any nisunder- standing or misconceptions which may exist concerning the methods, policies and plans of this company.
 The pre-eminent position of the Cadillac Car as the Standard of the World" it's recogni- ton as the criterion of excellence in practical construction, are not matters of mere chance.
 For eleven years the Cadillac has been man ufactured and marketed upon well defined principles. Adherence to those principles has been the dominant factor in Cadillac success.
 The Cadillac has never aspired to ideals set by others; it makes its own ideals and raises them higher and higher.
 The Cadillac has never striven after the achievements of other plants; it Is a school and model unto itself.
 The Cadillac has never been obliged to make apologies for it's product. It has never been obliged to smother its past, nor to discredit it by wiping the slate clean and beginning. all over again.
 The immaterial and the impractical, the fad and the fallacy, the delusion and the shallow talking point have no chapter in the Story of the Cadillac"
 The Story of the Cadillac" is the story of that mechanical and commercial advancement which makes for permanency The Cadillac product has been only that which its makers knew to be right that which it's makers knew would satisfy and give to the purchaser "value received" in abundant measure.
 The policy of the Cadillac Company has ever been to avoid exaggeration and over drawn statements. It's policy has ever been to under-claim rather than to over-clainl.
 The Cadillac Company is gratifed that the public feels secure in accepting Cadillac repre- sentatons at their full worth. These repre- sentations are so accepted because the Cadillac Company has never misled and because the public could always expect and has always received more than was offered.
 The Cadillac Car of today has behind it the experience gleaned in the successful produc- ton of the seventy-fve thousand Cadillacs which have preceded it-by far the greatest number of high grade motor cars produced by any one manufacturer in the world

The Cadillac Company has no intention
 of marketing a six cylinder car

such car.- Some people thought they wanted that kind and they bought them But not from us.- Rumor had 1t however, that we in tended to market them.
 Cars with four cylinder enginesl We have built and distributed more than sixty thousand (6O,0O0) of them. That something substantial than rumor.
 Cars with six cylinder enginesi We have built number of them in the last four years. We have tested them to the utmost, and they proved to be good ones-by comparison. In fact, by comparing them point for point with number of the most highly regarded "sixes, which we bought for the purpose Of making comparisons for our own enlightenment, we failed to find single car which, in our opin- ion. outpointed our own, and our own out pointed most of them.
 These experiments may have given rise to the rumor that the Cadillac Company corltenl- plates marketing a six cylinder car But as in the cases of the two and three cylinder cars-such rumor IS entirely without founda- ton. This Company has no such intention.
 And we made other comparisons as we'll; ir fact nothing worth while was overlooked or omitted
 Our tests, investigations, experiments and comparisons demonstrated conclusively to us, that four cylinder engine designed with the skill and executed with the precision which characterizes the Cadillac engine-and scien- tihca11y balanced affords the highest degree of all round efficiency possible to obtain
 These tests further demonstrated that with such an engine in conjunction with properly designed two-speed axle, there is obtained extraordinary range of operating fexibility, extraordinary reduction of friction, an extra ordinary degree of operation and maintenance economy, an extraordinary degree of luxurious riding qualities, and a reduction Of vibration, particularly at high speeds, almost to the van ishing point.
 We have cited the foregoing facts because we believe that the public is entitled to know them, because we believe that we owe 1t to the public to make the facts known and be- cause we want the public to know that the Cadillac Company leaves no stone unturned, that 1t spares no expense Tn its efforts to dis cover and to provide that which it knows to be right that which 1t knows will satisfy and that which will give to the buyer "value re- ceived' in abundant measure.
 And above all, the Cadillac Company has no intention of departing from that policy.
 There can be no better evidence of the ap- preciation of the Cadillac policy than the fact that there have already been manufactured and distributed more than 5000 of the 1914 Model Cadillacs, amounting in selling value to more than eighteen millions ($18 8,000,000) of dollars-a volume of cars which nearly equals if 1t does not exceed, that of all other 1914 high grade American cars combined, selling at or more than the Cadillac price, regardless of their numbers of cylinders.
