STEPHENS MAKES
REMARKABLE RUN
Practically Entire Trip Over
Mountains Run in High
Gear.

Comparison Of cross country travel by

brings many a warm discussion.
One record that attracts attention
when this discussion comes up is that

When one thinks of the old get our

is refreshing TO consider the develop.

day.
This run from Nashville to New York
and return, during which the car
crossed two mountain ranges, reaching
at one time an altitude of 1000 feet
was made in high gear from STRAIT to
finish, except in the crossing of Laurel

hardly pay the one way fare by railroad
for n single passenger.
The Stephens used on the run exactly
l13 gallons of fuel, two gallons Of en-
CINE oil and five quarts of water, a re-
markable tribute TO the mechanical per-
fection of the Stephens overhead valve
motor.
There was no stop for repairs or ad-
justments in the entire trip. evidence OF
the reliability and durability OF the
Stephens car The fuel average of this
trip was 20.1 miles to each gallon OF
gasoline used.
1t is because of this remarkable
enonomy and reliability that the motor
car will continue to play an important
part in both the business and recrea
tional activities OF this country and in a

1t was built TO the Cadillac ideal Of
precision building but is of such magn!-

Slightly more than forty-nine acres OF

Factory buildings are most modern in

concrete and brick are used in the build

machine tools, many machines having
been specially designed to produce
Cadillac parts.
The buildings are in two groups. In

Cadillac are made and go to the as

Did you ever hear of a car being so
throughly acid-tested before it was
placed on the market2 Certainly not.
Neither did we-and we've been in
the motor car business since it was
born.
The Rickenbacker is a Six--and it's
the sweetest riding motor you ever
sat behind.

For sheer motor performance this
