THE PRESTIGE OF A
Motor Car no longer de-

| Motor Car no longer de- bends upon a mere name, surrounded by a fictitious att mosphere of aristocracy. The only aristocracy in motor cars, now, is an aristocracy of merit.
 It is true that the ownership of a Cadillac carries a distinct social value in every com- munity.
 But it is the character ofthe car which sheds lustre on the Cadillac name-not the name which confers lustre on the car.
 Intent upon the more serious purpose of making the Cadil- lac as good as a motor car can be made, this Company has paid scant attention to any other aspect of the case. Social distinction came to the Cadillac as an after-result. It was conferred by the owners themselves as an apprecia- ton of its more sterling quail ities.
 Each year the number of those amply able to pay more, but who prefer the Cadillac because of what the Cadillac is, has rapidly increased.
 Each year the lure of mere name has grown less.
 It is the age-old process at work.
 Neither a man, nor a motor car, can live on a name alone. The world demands deeds from the one, and perform ance from the other.
 In the working-out of that process, the world has be- slowed greater and greater distinction upon the Cadillac.
