new MODELS
ARE SAFEST


The most fundamental improve
mentz in the new Cadillac and La
Sale cars have all been primarily
contributions to greater safety in
riding and driving, according TO q
statement just issued BY Lawrence
Up. Fisher. president and general
manager Of the Cadillac Motor Car
The most important Of these. ac-
ccrdine TO Mr.. Fishers statement,
are the shatter-proof security-plate
glass used in all doors, windows and
windshields, the new transmission
and the new internal shoe-type four
wheel brakes.
Regarding these features, Mr.
Fisher says:
~From the very outset, the first
Car company has been TO produce
cars that are substantially built.
That Is primarily a safety factor.
Along with the later Improvements
which have been added 10 the en-
CINE, the chassis and the bodies,
our engineers have been busy with
problems Of promoting every pos
sible aid to safety.
"The swift appearance Of shatter-
proof glass for motor cars and the
demand Of motor err owners for
safety and prtection are indications
that this new device is quickly tax
ing It's rank along with four-wheel
brakes as q fundamental contribu-
tion to safety. Il will soon be con
sidered universally necessary.
"under stress or shock this glass
will crack in many directions. but
IL will not fly apart, and there will
be no flying fragments.
"The first shatter-proof glass pro-
duced was composed Of two thin lay
ers Of ordinary glass, with an in
ner layer Of binding composition
which was perfectly transparent.
The three layers are forced together
under heat and chemical treatment
so that they make in effect a single
thickness OF glass.
"But in ordinary glass there MAJ
be unevenness and waves which dis
tort vision.
"In our new cars. we have gone
q step further. We have insisted
and windshields which il not only

free from distortion.
~The shatter-proof glass in Cadil-
lac and LaSalle ears il called secur-
i~ty-plate, because in il are used W
layers % plate glass In the III
featuring process, plate glass 10 al
ways made thicker tAsn required and
then the two surfaces are ground
90 that they are perfectly parallel
and perfectly smooth. This assures
perfect vision, no matter at what
angle one looks through the glass.
THE new transmission and new
brakes, while they promote driving
ease and comfort to q remarkable
degree, are primarily safety factors.
"The new transmission gives the
driver the ability TO shift quickly
in heavy traffic, in climbing or de-
seendng hills, or in any other situa-
ticn.
The new brakes are long-lived,
very effective and easy TO adjust.
But from a safety point OF view,
the important points are that they
are easy to operate and are totally
unaffected by weather conditions,
mud, water or frost. Sixteen sets
Of roller bearings have been INSTALL
ed throughout the system to reduce
friction, and the beverages in the
system have been re-arranged 70 de-
