TINE Cadillac Motor Car Com
pany has always believed that
there are SO many good fea-
i tures In the Cadillac car that
its advertising space could be
best utilized exclusively in acquaint-
ing the public with those advantages
We regret. however that the occa-
sion arises which makes 1t appear de-
sirable for Us to depart, temporarily.
from that policy.
Inasmuch as 1t is not possible for US
to control the "mouth-to-mouth" ad-
vertising with which we are favored,
and fnasmuch as that gratuitous pub
licity may sometimes contain elements
of inaccuracy. unintentlonally perhaps,
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 II We
did not correct any misunderstanding
or misconceptions which may exist
concerning the methods, policies and
plans of this company.
The pre-eminent position of the Cad
lilac Car as the STANDARD of the
World its recognition as the criterion
of excellence in practical construction,
are not matters of mere chance.
For eleven years the Cadillac has
been manufactured 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: 1t makes Its own
ideals and raises them higher and
higher
The Cadillac has never striven after
the achievements Of other plants; 1t
is a school and a model unto itself.
The Cadillac has never been obliged
to make apologies for its product 1t
has never been Obliged to smother It's
past nor to discredit II by wtping the
slate clean and beginning all over
again
The imnlaterial and the impractical.
the fad and the fallacy. the deluston
and the shallow talking point" have
no chapter in the STORY of the Cadil-
lac
Tho STORY of the Cadillac" is the
story OF that mechanical and CONNER
cial advancement 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 abun-
dant measure.
The policy of the Cadillac Company
has ever been to avoid exaggeration
and overdrawn statements. Its policy
has ever been to underclaim rather
than to overclatm.
The Cadillac Company is gratified
that the pubic feels secure in accept
ing Cadillac representations at their
full worth. These representations are
SO accepted because the Cadillac Com
pany 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
1t the experience CLEANED In the sue
cessful production Of the seventy-nve
thousand Cadillacs which have pre-
ceded 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

Cars with four-cylinder engines. We
have built and distributed more than
sixty thousand 100000 Of them. That
was something more substantial than
a rumor.
Cars with six-cylinder engines. We
have built a 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 pur-
pose OF making comparisons for our
own enlightenment, we failed to find
a single car which. in our opinion.
outpointed our own, and our own out
pointed most of them.
These experiments may have given
rise to the rumor that the Cadillac
Company contemplates marketing a
six-cylinder car. But-as In the cases
OF the two and three cylinder cars
such rumor is entirely without founda-
fion. 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 con-
gine, designed with the skill and exc
cuted with the precision which char
acterizes the Cadillac engine-and
scientifically balanced, affords the high
est degree of ali-round efficiency pos
sible to obtain.
These tests further demonstrated
that with such an engine in conjunc-
ton with a properly designed two
speed axle. there is obtained an ex-
ro Of
bility. an extraordinary reduction Of
friction. an extraordinary degree Of
operation and maintenance economy,
an extraordinary degree of luxurious
riding qualities and reduction of VI
bration. particularly at high speeds,
almost to the vanishing point
We have cited the foregoing facts
becaus. we believe that the public is
entitled to know them, because we be-
lieve that we owe 1t to the public to
make the facts known and because
we want the public to know that the
Cadillac Company leaves no stone un-
turned, that 1t spares no expense in
its efforts to discover and to provide
that which It knows to be right, that
which will give to the buyer value
received in abundant measure.
And. above all, the Cadillac Com
pany has NO intention Of departing
from thnt policy.
There can be no better evidence Of
the appreciation 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 Ell h teen millions
(S1s, 100000 Of dollars-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 Cadillac price. re-

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 clarnor by CIV
ing Endorsement to principles which ;
would take advantage Of the uniniti-
ated or the uninformed. even though
temporary benefits might accrue.
The experimental division of the
Cadillac Company is not excelled in
the motor car industry We do not
believe it Is even eoualed.
Every design. every appliance, every
idea every principle offered which has
q senblance of merit is subjected to
the most grueling tests.
For every idea or feature adopted or
considered 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 Com
pany 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

the Cadillac Company and now used

engineering progress and Cadillac
initiative, It says:
''Already there rs very decided
movement among other makers to
try and provide some type Of two
speed rear axle similar to the Cad
lilac. for 1914 or 1918"
In our experimental division we have
built automobile engines Of almost
every conceivable type and size and
have Tasted 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 I
found the latter method most ex-
pensive. but the most ef1cient-hence y
we use It.
We built cars with one-cy1inder en-
gines, more than 5000 Of them. and

ticaily all going yet after eight to z
eleven years OF service. hundreds OF

We built few cars with two-cyiin- t

the papers are keeping still about the
internal war in the ranks of the NOR
ais probers. The game now is to keep
the squad busy. Even the Examiner
is boosting the major, Not because it
loves him, but because it, wants to
break Kenna politically and run First
Ward politics itself.
The man now on the inside with
FUnkhouser is Major Crippen, EFF
cheney expert of the police depart
ment." The two majors are great
pals.
Anyway, Crippen seems to have
supplanted Dannenberg, even though
he is not a member of the morals
squad, and is supposed to work only
with the civil service commission.
When Funkhouser is asked now
about the activity of the morals squad
he usually refers to Crippen, which
seems rather cruel to Dannenberg,
who has been the goat for the past
year for all the attacks hurled at the
second deputy's Office.
There's going to be lot doing in
vice for the next few weeks. And the
Tribune is going to have a large fin
ger in the pie. While the First Ward
was under fire all the papers were
working in harmony. But now the
Trib, continuing its fight on the Dem
ocrats, has come out with a wallop
at the 21st Ward, where an H.-H.
leader, Jimmy Quinn, is boss.
The Examiner is now placed in a
peculiar position. Although there is
no love lost between Quinn and Andy
Lawrence, still they're both for Har-
rison. And Quinn has agreed to abide |
by the H.-H. decision to support |
Judge Owens.
There will be raids on the North |
Side, plenty of them. This was told |
in The Day Book exclusively yester-
day, although the story was all set for |
the Tribune.

Lieut.. Jake Reich and Tim Gull
linane may be transferred because
they have been marked as Quinn
me. And it has been decreed that

Just what stand Harrison will take
on the 21st Ward question is a puz-
zle. Harrison is an old 21st Ward
resident. And Jimmy Quinn has
risen, fallen and then risen again with
Harrison without swerving in his
loyalty to Carter H.
Quinn is now hooked up in a race
for ward committeeman with John
F. O'Malley, the Sullivan leader The
Republicans would rather see Sulli-
man man elected because they know
that if the H.-H. county slate should
go over at the primaries, the Sullivan
men would not have anything to do
with it.
