Cadillac announces this season two of the most notable engineering advanc- es in motor car history--a new engine with the Cadillac compensated crank shaft and four-wheel braking system that is completely self-equalizing. The V-63 engine operates with unparalled smoothness; the Cadillac four-wheel brakes are a great contribution to saf- ety and ease of control under all driv- ing conditions.
 Despite the importance of these and similar engineering accomplish ments in the past, however, they do not of themselves constitute the chief reasons why Cadillac ownership is a desirable thing.
 Statistics show Cadillac to be the unauestioned leader in the fine car field. not in numbers merely, but al- SO in the type of owners who prefer it to all others. In every community there are people who become Cadillac owners naturally and inevitably whose custom is to select their posses sions rather than to buy them through argument or persuasion. They are prominent in art. in science. in litera- ture; in governmental, judicial and military circles; in business, in finance and in the professions.
 Surely so distinguished a clientele is not moved to single out for prefer enee this one make of car. season aft CT season. and in constantly inereas- ing numbers. without some basic reas- ons which are sound.
 Confidence is of course the first consideration-a confidence born Of the fact that motorists have never been disappointed in Cadillac or in it's policies.
 Though Cadillac has always been a pioneer, well in the van of engineer ing thought and practice, it's pioneer ing has never been done at the ex- pense of those to whom the cars were sold. It is not uncommon for Cadil- lac engineers to work on new prin- ciple for five or six years before pre- senting it to the public. so that when it does find it's way into the owners hands it is thoroughly practical and servieeable to high degree.
 Here is a policy which rises supe- rior to any single engineering feature, or any group of features, and 1t has enabled Cadillac to lead the way as no other ear has done. Under this policy, Cadillac introduced the first electrical system of starting and lighting; the first truly standardized car, which twice won the Dewar trophy. Cadillac

 Automobiles were considerably out numbered by wagons in the first year in which they were listed separately, 1914. There were leo motor vehicles in the town, as against 320 carriages and other horse drawn rigs. The ears had a valuation of S69,7S5 Both the number of cars and their value in- creased very rapidly thereafter. In 1915 there were 273 machines with a value of SS0,99i and in 1916 the total valuation Of autos went over the si0o.- 900 mark for the first time, with val ue of Si07. .l6i placed on 320 machines.
 The figures continue to increase by big jumps. The 800 mark was passed in 1918. and by 1921 there were nearly f5O machines in town. The 1928 fig ures show clear increase of nearly 200 machines over the year before. and an increase of $5o,000 in the vaIua-

 Each succeeding type introduced by the Cadillac Motor Car Company has been heralded the world over as the greatest Cadillac. And each one in it's turn has been the greatest Cadillac. Now comes Type V-63. Type V-63 represents the most noteworthy ad- vance in Cadillac design and construe-

tion since the inception of the Weight engine in 1914. Without doubt. here is the greatest Cadillac.
 By way of introduction, we wish to outline briefly the three outstanding features of the Type V-63: A new " Eight motor which has eliminated vi- bration at all speeds. Four-wheel brakes of Cadillac dependability and exclusive design. New bodies unsur- passed by the eostliest custom built jobs. In addition, there are many re- finements, mechanical and otherwise.

Balloon Tire and 4-Wheel
 Brake Lead Improvements
TWO MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS OF TEAR IN INDUSTRY ARE REMARKABLE STEPS FORWARD.-BOTH
 CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASED SAFETY
N Braking Standard Equipment Forty-four
 Models, and Optional or Thrty-six Others

rbs attention of the automobile
 55 is now riveted upon the two
 .s- developments of the year, the t.lIsan tire and the four-wheel brake. raeb is regarded in it's line as one of .ho outstanding improvements of the sa5nstry in recent years. Non since .bs self starter first made it unneces- ssrv to get out and crank up the en- s',ra have there been two such dis t,net indications of progress. Both contribute to the safety of the mo- forist. and incidentally of the pedes- trian.
 Intensive research and experiment tsl work preceded the appearance of both on the open market. Both have already won great applause, and their popularity is destined to become more and more widespread as the new models appear on the highways this spring.
 Riding lon Balloons"
 A man is said to appreciate the comfort of travelling in a Pullman the more when he has ridden in a freight car. In the same manner are the motorists expected to enjoy the comfort of riding lon balloons"
 The comparative effect is that of riding on air, the tire wrapping it. self about irregularities in the road surface, diminishing shock. Decreas- cd air pressure gives the pleasurable riding obtained by letting some of tka a,,- ont of tha old rnt.fa wit hOut the wear and tear.
 The balloon tire differs from the standard tire which 1t replaces, in

Gear changes. either higher or lower, can be infallibly made at normal driving speed. The novice can change gears as quickly and as noiselessiy as the most expert.

Constipation forces the system to
absorb poisons that should be thrown
out, causing pain, discomfort and tend
ing to undermine your health. Black
Braught helps to relieve this condition
by acting on the bowels, and by
regulating the liver when it is torpid,
