"While, to n certain extent, we think we can see by what reasons the
United States was prompted to urtivc at Its present attitude, on the other .

It Is With Real
Pleasure that We
Announce
Limousines
and Landaulets
Available for
Immediate Delivery
With the accumulation of motoring
experience, the year-round advisability
of the Limousine and the Landaulet be
comes more and more apparent.
Protection from the emergencies of the
weather is as necessary and as welcome
in summer as in winter.
The Limousine or the Landaulet, at an
instant's notice, may be made as snug
as your home or as open as the air.
Experience has also demonstrated that
Cadillac Limousines and Landaulets
represent the ultimate achievement of
the enclosed-car idea.
You will find in them all that can con-"
tribute to your comfort and enjoyment.
They have reached a point beyond which
it does not appear possible to advance.
There is great gratification for the
Cadillac owner in this fact :
That the highest aim of the serious
minded manufacturer is to approximate
Cadillac performance.
Other types sometimes claim equality
and sometimes superiority, but, con
sciouslyor unconsciously, it is always
the 'Cadillac standard which they claim
to equal or to surpass.
Fewer cylinders or more cylinders, they
apparently have but one criterion, and
that is the Cadillac V-type Eight-Cylinder
criterionforgetful of the fact that
the high development of the Cadillac
engine is only one fine phase of Cadillac
performance.
It is well to remember that this has
always been true-since the infant days
of the industry.
