The extreme in motor car luxury ‘The practical things and the things worth while. - For these and for all of the elements which ~contribute : g ¢ in the highest degree to the charms of motoring, the public has learned to look each year to the Cadillac. N b 3 : Cadillac ideals, Cadillac engineering genius, Cadillac resources and Cadiilac methods, are reinforced by the experience gleaned in the successful .pro- duction of more than eighty thjusand cars — the greatest number of the high grade type produced by any one maker in the industry. \ The public, guided by a recognition of the Cadillac policy to avoid exaggeration “and “over- drawn statements and guided by its policy to under-claim rather than to overclaim, has always felt secure in accepting Cadillac representations at their full worth. Therefore, when the Cadillac ‘Company says that it is about to offer a -motor car which marks developments and ad- vancements so great, so vast, so widespread in their scope, that past achievements pale almost into insignificance, you : are justified in looking forward to something which even the word “‘extraordinary’’ fails adequately to describe. . New pleasures and new comforts are in store. Luxuries of which you may have dreamed but for which you had hardly dared hope, are to become a reality. . Motoring will possess new charms, The word will have a new meaning and a new sig- nificance, You may draw a mental Flc_turc of your ideal car — of what it should be capaglc of 2c- complishing, of -how it should perform. You may place your expectations as high as you please, We do not believe you will be disappeinted, Our forma! announcement will be a revel- o ation, It will mark the dividing line between motoring as it has been known and motoring as the future’ will know it. y s THE A.
