from us Rumor had it however, that we in
tended to market them.
Cars with four cylinder engines! We have
built and distributed more than sixty thou
sand (60,000) OF them. That was something
more substantial than a rumor.
Cars with six cylinder engines! 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
a number of the most highly regarded
SKIES, - which we bought for the purpose of
making comparisons for our own enlghten-
ment, we failed to find single car which, in
our opinion, outpoinlted our own, and our
own outpointed most of them.
These experiments may have given rise to
the rumor that the Cadillac Company CON
templates marketing six cylinder car But,
AS in the cases of the two and three cylin-
der cars-such rumor is entirely without
foundation. This Company has no such in
tention
And we made other comparisons as well;
in 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 characteIizes the Cadillac engine--and
scientifically balanced, affords the highest
degree of all round efficiency possible to
obtain.
These tests further demonstrated that with
such an engine, in conjunction with proper
~ designed two-speed axle. there is obtained
an extr aordinary range Of operating flexibil-
ity, an extraordinary reduction of friction,
an extraordinary degree Of operation and
maintenance economy, an extraordinary de
gree Of luxurious riding qualities, and re-
duction of vibration, particularly at high
Speeds almost to the vanishing point.
We have cited the foregoing facts because
we believe that the public is entitled to know
them, because we believe that we owe it 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 it spares no expense in it's efforts to dis
cover and to provide that which it knows to
be right, that which it 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 APP
probation of the Cadillac policy than the
fact that there have already been manufae--
tured and distributed, more than 5000 of the
1914 Model Cadillacs, amounting in selling
value to more than eighteen millions ($19.-
O00,000) of dollras-a volume of cars which
nearly equals, If it does not exceed, that Of
all other 1914 high grade American cars
combined, selling at or more than the Cad
lilac price, regardless of their number of
cylinders.

THE Cadillac Motor Car Company has al
ways believed that there are SO many
good features in the Cadillac Car, that
its advertising space could be best utilized
exclusively in acquainting the public with
those advantages.
We regret, however, that the occasion
arises which makes it appear desirable for us
to depart, temporarily, from that policy.
Inasmuch as it is not possible for us to con-
troll the mouth to mouth = advertising with
which we are favored, and inasmuch as that
gratuitous publicity may sometimes contain
elements of inaccuracy, Internationally 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-
standings 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, /" its rec
ognition as the criterion Of excellence in prac-
tical construction, are not matters Of mere
chance.
For eleven years the Cadillac has been
manufactured and marketed upon well de-
fined principles. Adherence to those princi-
ciples 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 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 dis
credit it by wiping the slate clean and begin
ming 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 advance
ment which makes for permanency. The
Cadillac product has been only that which
its makers knew to be right; that which its
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 overclaim.
The Cadillac Company is gratifed that the
public feels secure in accepting Cadillac rep
RESERVATIONS at their full worth These rep
reservations are SO accepted because the Cad
lilac Company has never misled and because
the public could always expect and has al
ways received more than was offered.
The Cadillac Car Of today has behind it
the experience cleaned in the successful pro
duction of the seventy five thousand Cadil-
laos 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 six cylinder car

The Cadillac Company is ever alert--its
ear is ever to the ground; it feels the throb
of the public pulse. Yet never has it yielded
to clamor by giving endorsement to princi-
pies which would take advantage of the un-
initiated or the uniformed, even though
temporary benefits might accrue.
The experimental division Of the Cadillac
Company is not excelled in the motor car in
dustry We do not believe it is even equaled
Every design, every appliance. every idea
every principle offered which has sem
hlance Of merit, is subjected to the most
gruelling tests.
For every idea or feature adopted or con
sidered worthy Of the Cadillac seal of APP
prevail, scores are discarded.
One reason why most of the new ideas
of inventors and manufacturers are first Of
fered to the Cadillac Company is because
these inventors 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
Take also the two-speed axle introduced
into the present Cadillac, and which eng1-
neering authorities on both sides of the At
lantic are predicting will soon come into gen
eral use.
Witness this from 1tThe Automobile En-

commenting upon Cadillac engineering prog

Already there is a very decided
movement 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 conceiv-
able 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 en- 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 we use it.
We built cars with one cylinder engines,
more than $4,000 Of them, and they were
good ones. Zone lungers" they we're called.
and they are practically all going yet after
eight to eleven years of service, hundreds Of
them having passed the 100000 mile mark.
We built few cars with two cylinder en-
gines and they were as good as that type
could possibly be made. But we never mar
keted any Of them although the Iumor 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
such a car. Some people thought they want
ed that kind and they bought them. But not

Decision in One Case.

Keokuk is not bothered much with
the Industrial switching. That is set

plants. This practice prevails in
larger cities. The road either switches
the cars around on tracks inside the
factory or1pays an industrial road for
doing it. The Interstate commerce
commission in decision on this
point holds that this is giving undue
preference and that in effect 1t is the
same as rebating
The case was sent to the commits

cision was made last month. 1t is pub

That the growing practice Of the

Of some Of the local experts who have

Spotting cars is the phrase desig-
rating the switching OF cars on sidings
and spur tracks at place desig-
mated by the shippers. This growing

ference held in Washington by the in
terstate commission this last week. A
Pennsylvania railroad official testified
at this conference that service cost

four dollars per car.

TYPICAL / ocai Situation.

Typical Local Situation.
The situation in Keokuk is typical.
Some of the warehouses are on the
uptown switch, others are not. II the
railroads spot cars at the factory
door for some Of the houses, without
charging for this service, while others
are forced to haul their goods from
the yards, and pay for the hauling,
perhaps, the effect is the same as a
discrimination, one OF the shippers
explained yesterday.
II the companies paid the railroad
for this switching it is believed that
this would be different. but some OF
the local shippers look to see the
commission turn down the general re-
quest for five per cent rate increase,
or else to urge the roads to charge
for spotting cars.

ROYAL DOUBLES.
Understudies Who Played the Role of
 Monarch In Public.

Understudies Who Played the Role of
 Monarch In Public.
 In d land of distrust like Russia it iS only natural that the precautions talk en should be of the most drastic order: hence the use of a royal understudy who has always been a conspicuous figure at that court. Indeed. 1t was the understudy of the late Czar Alex ander III.-a man named KomarOff- who was murdered in Moscow some years ago, when the murderer thought he had covered himself with glory by assassinating the czar.
 Nicholas, like his father before him, has an understudy, and the many state functions he attended at the opening of his reign. when the relations with his people were less strained than they are today, were attended for the most part by proxy.
 No monarch, however, made such frequent use of his understudy as the late Emperor William of Germany. Every day as the clock struck 12 the emperor came out and bowed on the palace balcony. It was not until some time after the emperor's demise that the secret was made known that the man who appeared daily on the bal cony was the royal understudy. And the person who gave the secret away was the great Bismarck. = London Black and White.

Trinidad'a AaphaIt Lake.

The proverb about the folly of build ing on sand might be written to in- clude the vicinity of the Trinidad as- phalt lake This remarkable body of pitch is perhaps the nearest thing to the goose which laid the golden egg that has ever been found. for 1t has the obliging faculty of replacing dur ing the night the asphalt which has been dug from its surface during the day.
 That the replenishment ''comes from somewhere" was graphically illustrat- ed short time ago when a house To- cated near the edge of the lake be. gan settling on one side, not to stop until the digging of pitch in that vi- cinity ceased.
 The pitch is dug laboriously from the lake by negroes, using pick and shovel. and is carried on an overhead tram way directly to the waiting ships.- Wide World Magazine.
