 He knows that he can depend upon it to do the same thing, in the same way, whenever and wherever he calls upon 1t to do them.
 The Cadillac does not, as one owner has aptly said, meet a man with smile one day, and snarl the next. Itis stable, steadfast, faithful friend, and he knows 1t will not fail him. Heknows twill start; he knows twill go, no matter how swift the going; he knows 1t will respond with a rush when he presses down the accelerator. If the journey be one of ten miles or ten hund ed, he can count upon this same unchanging, uniform perform

 Every mile of those ten, or ten hum dred, or ten thousand miles, he Is serenely sure of the same sense of ease and security.
 He drives the Cadillac into he garage at night, knowing 1t will meet him with the same splendid readiness in the morning.
 That is one reason why the average Cadillac owner can see no other car on earth save the Cadillac.
 It gives him constancy in perform ance and he gives 1t back constancy in friendship.
 Except in improved quality of per formance, the Cadillac does not change, and therefore the Cadillac owner does not change.
