There is a deep-rooted universal respect for the Cadillac as an unusual
car. The average man, even when about to buy another car, feels in his
inmost heart that he might better own a Cadillac; that the Cadillac yields
qualities not obtainable with other cars.
That being true and your own experience undoubtedly tells you that
it is true it is of course a mistake
for a man not to follow his instinct.
The differences between the Cad
t??i
illac and other cars are differences
in intensity and permanence of com
fort. They are vital differences, because
they affect the quality of ycjur en
joyment. They result in makingeach mo-'
ment you spend in a Cadillac a dif
ferent kind of a moment more
highly colored with contentment and
comfort.
