POPULAR TYPE CAR
CLAIMED SUCCESS
Motor Is Free From Service
Requirements of All
Kinds.

What is believed to be a new
record for dependability has been
attained by the Cadillac Motor Car
Company through it's type 81 car.
Although the Cadillac throughout
its history has had an unusually
small amount of service after the
introduction of a new model. the
type 81 has been astoundingly free
from service requirements of all
kinds.
Although the type 81 has now
been out for over six months, and
although approximately 10000 type
81 cars are now in the hands Of
owners, there has scarcely been a
complaint of any kind from any
part of the country. In fact the
service required from the factory
has been only one-third of what
has been required for any other
new type OF Cadillac during the
first six months. On the other
hand. hundreds of letters are re-
ceived every week praising the un-
usually satisfactory operation, and
amazing dependability of the type
81 Cadillac.
The most obvious indication of
public approval is the tremendous
buying interest shown on the part
Of the public at the present time.
Numerous cities have had their
largest days business in their his
tory recently, and the factory Is on
a yearly production schedule which
exceeds all previous production
schedules.
