will believe, prove itself to be the and
the enduring this company has produced

for specific duties which they
must perform and the strains,
stresses and wear which they
must Withstand.
The reputation of the Cadillac Com
pany for producing the highest
type and the most accurate work
manship in q motor car is not dis
puted, yet the workmanship in
the Eight" surpasses anything
ever before achieved by this Com
pany.
Accuracy in workmanship and the
proper fit Of parts which move in
contact with one another are vital
factors upon which duration of
service depends.
In the Cadillac Eight" there are more
than 1000 mechanical operations
which are not per mitted to de-
viate to exceed the one-thousandth
part OF an inch from prescribed
limits of measurement And
there are more than 300 other op-
eratio IS in which the limits Of
permissible variation are held
within the halt of one-t -thousandth
Of an inch.
When it is remembered that the one
tbousandth part of an inch is eq-
ual to only one-third to one. half
the thickness Of hair from your
head, you gain slight conception
of the remarkable accuracy which
obtains.
No matter how accurately the moving
parts are made to fit, it is abso-
lutely essential that suitable lubri-
cants be introduced to overcome
friction, because friction means
wear.
The force feed lubricating system used
in the Eight Cylinder Cadillac en-
gine has proven itself to be the
The crankshaft practically floats in
thin film of oil under pressure;
the oil is efficiently distributed to
all cylinders, and the entire en-
gine, as we'll as the entire car, is
abundantly provided with lubri-
eating facilities
Vibration is another factor which is
largely responsible for short life
and lack of endurance.
But, because of its design, its construc-
tion, its light reciprocating parts,
and its splendid spring suspension,
vibration in the Cadillac 'Eight"
has been reduced practically to
the vanishing point.
These arguments, however, mean
nothing unless they be supported
by evidence.
Experimental cars have for months
been driven twenty-four hours

story.

THE Eight Cylinder Cadillac is now in
tho hands Of nearly six thousand
'ss users.
The motoring world knows that it's
performances far surpass the
most ardent claims that could be
expressed in words.
The concensus of expert opinion is
that it is the ultimate in practica-
bility, speed, power, smoothness,
fexibility, luxury and ease Of op-
GRAFTON.
And, in the most essential Of all quail
ties stability and endurance
there is abundant assurance that
it will excel any Cadillac which
has preceded it.
& We cay this knowing full we'll that the
record Of the Cadillac Company
for producing cars which en-.
dure, year after year, stands un.
approached.
We say it with full remembrance Of
the fact that you can 60 back one,
two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight nine, ten, eleven, twelve
years., nd find that the Cadillacs
then made are still in service.
Recall it you can, any other cars that
can point to service records of
halt the maximum period cited.
But We are secure in our conclusions
for several reasons.
The factors which are primarily respon-
sible for short life and lack Of en-
durance in motor car are:
IInacionkific dnai0n
Unsuitable material
Un-workmanlike construction
Inaccurate workmanship
Poorly fitting parts
Improper fabrication
Vibration
he foregoing being true, then what
would more naturally follow than
that scientific design, intelligent
" selected materials, workman
like construction, correctly fitting
parts, efficient fabrication and ab-
sence OF vibration will assure long
life and lasting service!
The Eight. Cylinder principle in
itself, appears immensely attrac-
tive.
But it offers no promise Of unusual
smoothness and endurance, unless
correct design be supplemented
and supported by the most skillful
working out Of details.
And its details must in turn be cup
u ported by far higher type Of
workmanship than Is demanded in
more conventional types Of en-
gines.
I During the past year We have achiev-
ed much in the perfecting of ma
terials and their various alloys.
