Standards o hEWorld) v Over - 13,000 Eight Cylinder Cadillacs Now 1n Use The new Cadillac is the fruit of experience acquired in the building of over 13,000 V type engines, and of their service in the hands of 13,000 owners. We believe that in this new car the V type engine is developed to a point of excellence that even the most con- scientious effort cannot equal in many and many a day. This wonderful experience of building 13,000 eight cylinder Cadillac cars naturally and logically marks an advancement over the initial achievement. This new Eight Cylinder car is twelve months away, 13,000 cars away, from the least or last element of ex- periment. Its pre-eminence cannot consistently be questioned. From one end of the country to th= other comes the unqisputed verdict of those who have experienced the super-luxury of the Cadillac Eight. d I he sweetest running car in the world!” R Cadillac Company of Omaha 2062 Farnam St. Geo.
