This was divulged at the meeting held in the Exchenge for Women's Work, which was attended of & worth, superintendent of the People's Odigsion.

While the lodging house plan was favored, the opinion ed that it should be maintained private subscription, rather than by town aid. In opposition it was ed that towns wers supposed io ! lsdge these homeless men, and usually in the interest of humanity, but o in Westerly and Pawcatuck there ‘were no such provistons and therefore public support should be sgiven the project, Secretary Lynde of the eocial wel- fare department of the Associated * Charities in Wew London, gave an in- - taresting outline of the social welfare + work in that city.

Now if the séed had gone to the bad -between 1898 and 1903, the 1903 season should not have improved its quality, for it ‘was late and comparative early frosts ‘would have killed the vitality in a yroportion of the seed then growing: (D 1904-06 Mr. Sully was still “harp- ing on his old argument. I quote from his circular of August 17, 1904: “‘An increase of 3,000,000 or more acres from last year until this year can only have been made by the plant- |ing of 'a large amount of abandoned land. The truth of this is instanced by the decrease per pound of lint per year, which is a fact, which, supple- mented to the deterioration of the seed, causes the decline of our cotton crop ‘With due deference to all other opinions, I am firmly comvinced that the crop of 1904-05 will not exceed 10,750,000 bales maximum.” “On the ‘deteriorated’ seed & crop of about 14,000,000 bales was grown in 1904-05, an increase of 4,000,000 bales over the previous crop.” _Aided by the rays of sunshine, Les- MacQuilton, government inspector of the new post office building, resorted to manual labor Thursday and started to clear the granite steps to the front door of the building of the ccating of ice. He was well alonz on the job when Postmaster Charles J. Butler came to his relief and continued to clear away the ice, while Inspector MacQuilton went for a pail of salt and did the sprinkling act. In the mean- time Richard Butler, a post office clerk, came along and assisted in the work and the steps were cleared in short order, If the act introduced in the state senate by Senator McKenna of Cum- berland, becomes law public service and other corporations will be prohib- ited from making political contribu- tions.

Fle works constantly and the result of his work is appreciated by the public. During the recent severe Snow storms “Matty” as he is familiar- ly known, was busy in clearing the street crossings and as a side issue engaged himself in clearing the gut- ters from ice and snow. When the thaw came Thursday he extended his operations to a roint in front of the Memorial building and with pick and shovel cleared the gutter of ice to prevent overflow to the sidewalk. Alone and unaided by other workmen of the street department, Matty is doing as much work in one day as is or- dinarily accomplished by two men in like line of work.

Inasmuch as it is not possible for us to con- trol the “mouth to mouth” advertising with which we are favored, and inasmuch as that gratuitous publicity may sometimes contain elements of inaccuracy, unintentionally per- haps, on the part of the authors, we feel that we would not perform the duty which we owe to thé public and the duty which we owe to ourselves, if we did not correct any misunder- standing or misconceptions which may exist- concerning the methods, policies and plans of this company. ' The pre-eminent position of the Cadillac Car as the “Standard of the World,” its recogni- tion as the criterion of excellence in practical construction, are not matters of mere chance. For eleven years the Cadillac has been man- ufactured and marketed upon well defined principles. Adherence to those principles has been the dominant factor in Cadillac success. The Cadillac has never aspired to ideals set by others; it makes its own ideals and raises them higher and higher. The Cadillac has never striven after the achievements of other plants; it is a school and a2 model unto itself. The Cadillac has never been obliged to make apologies for its product. .It has never been obliged to smother its past, nor to discredit it by wiping the slate clean and beginning: all over again. The immaterial and the impractical, the fad and the fallacy, the delusion and the shallow “talking point” have no chapter in the “Story of the Cadillac,” The “Story of the Cadillac” is the story of that mechanical and commercial advancement which makes for permanency. The Cadillac product has been only that which its makers knew to be right; that which its makers knew would satisfy and give to the purchaser “value received” in abundant measure. The policy of the Cadillac Company has ever been to avoid exaggeration and over- drawn statements. Its policy has ever been to under-claim rather than to over-claim. The Cadillac Company is gratified that the * public feels secure in accepting Cadillac repre- sentations at their full worth. These repre- sentations are so accepted because the Cadillac Company has never misled and because the public could always expect and has always received more than was offered. The Cadillac Car of today has behind it the experience gleaned in the successful -produc- tion of the seventy-five thousand Cadillacs which have preceded it—by far the greatest number of high grade motor cars produced by any one manufacturer in the world - markéting._:} six cyliinde'r‘c;xr The Cadillac Company is ever alert—its ear is ever to the ground; it feels the throb of the public pulse. Yet never has it yielded to clamor by giving endorsement to principles which would take advantage of the uninitiated or the uninformed, even though temporary benefits might accrue. The experimental division of the Cadillac Company is not excelled in the miotor car industry. We do not believe it is even equalled. Every desixgn, every appliance, every idea, every principle offered which has a semblance of merit, is subjected to the most gruelling tests. For every idea or feature adopted or' con- sidered worthy of the Cadillac seal of approval, scores are discarded. One reason why most of the new ideas of inventors and manufacturers are first offered to the Cadillac Company is because these in- ventors and manufacturers realize that with the Cadillac seal of approval, their future is practically certain. As an example, take the electrical svstem of automatic cranking. lighting and ignition, first introduced by the Cadillac Company and now used almost universally. Take also the two-speed axie introduced in- to the present Cadillac, and which engineering authorities on both sides of the Atlantic are predicting will soon come into general use. Witness this from “The Automobile En- gineer” published in London, England. In commenting upon Cadillac engineering prog- ress and Cadillac initiative, it says:— “Already there is a very decided move- ment among other makers to try and provide some type of two-speed rear axle similar to the Cadillac, for 1914 or 1915.” In our experimental division we have built automobile engines of almost every conceiva- ble type and size and have tested scores which we did not make ourselves. We have built them with one, with two, with three, with four and with six cylinders. We have never tried five. We have cast them en bloc, we have cast them in pairs and we have cast them singly. ‘We have made them with water jackets cast integral and with corper water jackets. We found the latter method most expensive, but the most efficient—hence we use it. We built cars with one cylinder engines, more than 15,000 of them, and they were good ones. “One-lungers” they were called, and they are practically all going yet, after eight to eleven years of service, hundreds of them having passed the 100,000 mile mark. We built a few cars with two cylinder en- gines and they were as good as that type could possibly be made. But we never mar- keted any of them although the rumor was current that we intended doing so. Yes, and we built cars with three cylinder engines, as good of that type as could be made. Probably few readers ever heard of such a car.. Some people thought they wanted that kind and they bought them. But not from us.. Rumor had it however, that we in- tended to market them. Cars with four cylinder engines! We have built and distributed more than sixty thousand (60,000) of them. That was something more substantial than a rumor. Cars with six cylinder engines! We have built a number of them in the last four years. ‘We have tested them to the utmost, and they proved to be good ones—by comparison. In fact, by comparing them point for point with a number of the most-highly regarded “sixes,” which we bought for the purpose of making comparisons for our own enlightenment, we failed to find a single car which, in our opin- ion, outpointed our own, and our own out- pointed most of them. These experiments may have given rise to the rumor that the Cadillac Company contem- plates marketing a six cylinder car. But— as in the cases of the two and three cylinder cars—such rumor is entirely without founda- tion. This Company has no such intention. And we made other comparisons as well; in fact nothing worth while was overlooked or omitted. Our tests, investigations, experiments and comparisons demonstrated conclusively to us, that a four cylinder engine designed with the skill and executed with the precision which characterizes the Cadillac engine—and scien- tifically balanced, affords the highest degree of all ‘round efficiency possible to obtain. These tests further demonstrated that with such an engine, in conjunction with a properly designed two-speed axle, there is obtained an extraordinary range of operating flexibility, an extraordinary reduction of friction, an extra- ordinary degree of operation and maintenance economy, an extraordinary degree of luxurious riding qualities, and a reduction of vibration, articularly at high speeds, almost to the van- 1shing point. We have cited the forégoing facts because we believe that the public is entitled to know them, because we believe that we owe it to the public to make the facts known and be- cause we want the public to know that the Cadillac Company leaves no stone unturned, that it spares no expense in its efforts to dis- cover and to provide that which it knows to be right, that which it knows will satisfy and that which will give to the buyer “value re- ceived” in abundant measure. And above all, the Cadillac Company has no intention of departing from that policy. There can be no better evidence of the ap- preciation of the Cadillac policy than the fact that there have already been manufactured and distributed, more than 9000 of the 1914 Model Cadillacs, amounting in selling value to more than eighteen millions ($18,000,000) of dollars—a volume of cars which nearly equals, if it does not’' exceed, that of all other 1914 high grade American cars combined, selling at or more than the Cadillac price, regardless of their numbers. of cylinders.
