Never In all my life have I accepted any case when I had tho. least doubt that It, was honorable, and I never will," "That was the spirit of the man," said Doctor Oordon today.

That it releases the mind, from the thral dom of the car and permits untram melled enjoyment of the beauty of the road, and the landscape. That the flow of power is so continuous, so smooth, so flexible, so quiet that you are scarcely conscious that the engine exists. That the many-times-proven stability of the car dispels all anxiety for safety under the worst conditions of road and weather. That, although -not built primarily for speed, this car has broken more speed records on the road than any other stock car. That, this continuous daily performance has created a demand nearly 30,000 sold in less than two yeare which ex ceeds the combined sale of all other high-class cars during that period. In short When you buy a Cadillac "Eight" yon KNOW you can't do better. When you buy any other' car you can only HOPE It trill do as well as the Cadillac. Demonstrations: By your convenience.
