The Cadillac Company Has No Intention
of Marketing Six Cylinder Car

The Cadillac Motor Car Company
has always believed that there are
SO many good features in the Cadil-
lac Car, that its advertising space
could be best utilized exclusively in
acquainting the public with those
advantages.
We regret, however. that the oc-
casion arises which makes it appear
desirable for us to depart, tempo
rarily from that policy.
1nasmuch az ii Is not possible for
US to control the mouth to mouth"
advertising with which wo are fay-
ored, and inasmuch as that gratuit-
Gus publicity may sometimes contain
elements of inaccuracy, unintention-
ally perhaps, on the part OF the au-
thors, 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 cor
rect any Misunderstanding or mis-
conceptions which may exist concern
ing the methods. policies and plans Of
this company.
me pre-eminent position of the
Cadillac Car as tho STANDARD OF the
world its recognition as the crlter-
ion of excellence in practical con-
struction, are not matters of mere
chance.
FOR eleven years the Cadillac has
been manufactured and marketed
upon we'll defined principles. Nd
herence to those principles has been
the dominant factor I'm Cadillac sue
cess
The Cadillac has never aspired to
loeals set by others; it's makes its
own Ideals and raises them higher
and higher.
The Cadillac has never striven az
ter the achievements of other plants:
1t Is school and model unto t.
self
The Cadillac has never been OBJ
iiged to make apologies for It's pro-
quot 1t has never hes Obliged to
smother It's past nor ~ discredit II
by wiping the slate clean and be-
ginning all over again.
The immaterial and the iiupracti-
cal. the fad and the fallacy. the do
fusion and the shallow talking
point have no chapter i'll the STORY
OF the Cadillac"
The STORY Of the Cadillac" is the
story of that mechanical and COM
mercial advancement which makes
Tor permanency. The Cadillac product
mas been only that which its makers
knew TO be right; that which it's
makers know would satisfy and give
TO the purchaser value received" IN
abundant measure.
Tho policy Of the Cadillac Company
has ever been to avoid e1aggeration
and ovcrdrawn statements It's
policy has ever been TO under-clailn
rather than to over-claim
The Cadillac Company is gratified
that the public feels secure In ac-
ceptinE Cadillac representations at
their full worth. These representa-
tons 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 to-day has be-
mind 1t the experience cleaned in the
successful production of the seventy
live thousand Cadillacs which have
preceded jt--by far the greatest
number of high grade motor cars
produced by any one manufacturer
i'll the world.

ever. that we intended to market
them
Cars with four cylinder engines!
we have built and distributed more
than sixty thousand (6O,0OO) OF
them. That was something moro
substantial than II 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 he good ones--by comparison. In
tact, by comparing them point by
point with number of the most
highly regarded Skies" which we
bought Tor the purpose OF making
comparisons for our own eniighten-
ment, We failed TO find n single car
which, In our opinion, outpointed our
own, and our own outpointed most
of them.
These experiments may have given
rise to the rumor that the Cadillac
Company contemplates marketing u
six cylinder car. But,--as in the
cases OF the two and three cylinder
cars-such rumor Is entirely with
out foundation. This company has
no such intention.
And we made other comparisons
as we'll; in fact, nothing worth while
was overlooked or omitted ~
Our tests, Investigations. expert
rnents and comparisons demonstrate
ed conclusively to us, that a four cv-
Under engine. designed with the SKILL
and executed with the precision
which characterizes the Cadillac en-
gine--and scientifically balanced, af-
lords the highest degree of all round
efficiency possible to obtain.
These tests further demonstrated
that with such an engine, in con-
junction with a properly designed
two-speed axle, there is obtained an
extraordinary range OF operating
debility. an extraordinary reduc-
ton of friction, an extraordinary e
gree of operation and maintenance
economy, an extraordinary degree OF
luxurious riding qualities and a rc-
duction Of vibration, particularly at
high speeds, almost to the vanishing
point.
We have cited tho forging facts
because we believe that the public is
entitled TO know them, because we
believe that we owe * TO the public
to make the facts known and because
We want the public TO know that the
1duiiidC 1OHi panE leaNeS no stone un-
turned. that il spares no expense in
It's efforts TO discover and to provide
that which it knows TO he right. that
which 1t knows will satisfy and 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 that 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.

The Cadillac Company is ever
alert-its ear is ever to the ground;
1t feels the throb of the public
pulse. Yet never has 1t yielded to
clamor by giving endorsement to
principles which would take advant-
age Of the uninitiated or the unin-
formed, even though temporary bene-
fits might accrue.
The experimental division Of the
Cadillac Company is not excelled in
the motor car industry. We do not
believe 1T Is even equalled
Every design, every appliance
every idea, every principle offered
which has a semblance of merit, is
subjected to the most gruelling tests.
For every idea or feature adopt-
ed or considered worthy OF tho Ca
dillac seal OF approval scores are
discarded.
one reason why most of the new
ideas of inventors and manufacture
crs are first offered to the Cadillac
Company is because these inventors
ana manufacturers reulize that with
the Cadillac seal OF approval their
future is practically certain.
AS an example, take the electrical
system OF automatic cranking, light
ing and ignition, first introduced by
the Cadillac Company and now used
almost universally.
Take also the two-speed axle in
troduced into the present Cadillac,
ana which engineering authorities on
both sides of the Atlantic are predict
Ing VIII soon come into general use.
Witness this from THE Automo-
nile Engineer" published In London,
england In commenting upon Ca
n
dillac initiative, It says:-
Already there Is a very de-
cided 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 al
most every conceivable 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
nave cast them in pairs and we have
cast them singly. We have made
sasiii Win "dlci JdChtlS cast integral
ana with copper water Jackets. we
found the latter method most expen-
sive. but the most eficient--hence
we use il.
We built cars with one cylinder en-
gines, more than 5000 of them, and
they were good ones. "One lungers"
they we're called, and they are prac-
tically all going yet, after eight to
eleven years Of service. hundreds of
them having passed the 100000 mile
mark.
We built 4 few cars with two cy
Under engines. and they we're as
good as that type could possibly be
made. But we never marketed 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 such a car.
Some people thought they wanted
that kind and they bought them. But
not from us. Rumor had 1t, how

Mr. Buckmaster, captain; 4 st. 6.
Cheape. r. NJ F'reake, Major F. w.
Barrett and two worthy substitutes.
Three of these have played here,
Mr.. Buckmaster being the exception.
His addition to the team win have
tendency to give It the most
strength possible, as he Is one player
who has been looked on with fear by
the home enthusiasts. Should he de-
eide to accompany the team 1t Is
sure sign the visitors win be the IA
vorites in whatever speculation Is in
dulged in.
Buekmaster Great Help.
Without the strength Of Buckmas-
ter the Englishnen gave the home
team mighty hard battle last year,
and with Buckmaster and very prob
ably few better horses the cup has
more than an even chance OF being
handed back to Great Britain.
The English mounts of last year
were not equal to those ridden by the
home team There were times when
ponies were worked when they should
lave been relieved On the other
hand, the Americans had a perfect
herd of horses that were trained TO
the minute as well. and did not have
to go through course OF acclima-

Any way one looks at the propable
outcome of the game this year, indica-
tons point to the invaders. especially
il Buckmaster is one Of the quartet
Handicapped as they were with infer
