PAIZE, WAS RUN 67,000 MILES After 14 Months Battle Service, Car Condemned for Salvage Is Pronounced in Excellent Condition. The standardization of motor con- struction has again proven its value in a spectacular way. At the automobile show held at the First Army. Headquarters in France a Cadillac which had already been run 82,000 miles and three times condemned for salvage was suc- cessfully repaired, and awarded first prize for being in excellent condition, Feb. 256, 1919. Complete motor standardization and interchangeabil- ity of parts made possible this re- markable performance. This information is taken from one of the hundreds of letters of praise received from soldiers who saw the! adillac in France. Sergeant Samuel . Bennett, U. S. Marine Coxps, es as follows: “I am a sergeant in the U. S. Marine Corps and the original driver of Cadillac Car U. S. No. 1127. This car was bought in Washington, D.
