FOR CAD|LLACS
Popular Car Now Being Made In
Model Factory at
~ Detroit.

Cadillac motor cars are now beinr
constructed in recently built Detroit
factory, which is declared by indus
trial experts to be one of the best
adapted to it's purposes OF any in the
automotive industry. The factory is
also one OF great size. occupying a
forty-seven- site. The new plant
Is regarded as one of the finest In the
automobile business, and a tribute to
the Cadillac Motor Car Company. and
Its steadily growing success In the
production of Cadillac cars during the
last twenty years.
Among the nineteen cars of the
price OF Cadillac or above" according
to n. II. Rice. president OF the Cadil-
lac Motor Car Company, more buyers
have preferred the Cadillac than all
other cars put together. This pref
erence. which has been increasing
year by year. has in a large measure
made desirable the concentration of
Cadillac manufacture. This il done In
the new factory, which the company
has built as fine as 1t knew how. just
as 1t has always built the best cars IL
knew how to build"
Walking four stories above the
street, one can start at the west end
Of one Of the new Cadillac factory
buildings and go approximately 1000
feet In an east direction, before
reaching the eastern walls of another
Cadillac building with which II IL
Joined. From north to south, there is
a similar route Of 1.153 feet. Prac-
ticaiiy all main structures are four
stories high. Normally more than
1000 employees work for the company.
Great pains have been taken to get
working quarters SO well lighted that
they are almost shadowless. Forced
ventilation gives a worker the same
freshness OF air which he would enjoy
II working out-of-doors. Ample space
has been allowed for every operation.
A real working home has been estab-
lished. which is conducive to main
tanning and even improving the high
type of Cadillac workmanship.

BEWARE RAIN WATER
I, IN IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR

In washing the car or in driving
through heavy rain. great care must
be exercised In preventing any water
getting around the distributor cover
to which the ignition wires are at
tached, which causes a short circuit.
To overcome this. cut q piece about
twelve inches long out Of an old scrap
inner tube and slip 1t over the dis
tributor and wires and tape the top
end tightly together.
This makes IL next. to impossible to
short circuit the ignition system at
any time.
