feline had jumped in front of him

If Johns encountered such an animal on

rather than take any chances of trouble.
Things were looking rosy for Howard, who

I This will be good news to those whose social prestige suggests that their means
of motoring be at all times summer and winter in keeping with their position.
I The Cadillac Limousine and Landaulet unquestionably represent motoring luxury
in the superlative. The bodies are the very last word of art in coach work. The
number of joints is reduced to a minimum ami the roof is aluminum in one piece.
J T.hc rear seat accommodates three persons in comfort. Thee are two comfort
able auxiliary seats which fold snug-ly into recesses in the back of the partition.
There is ample leg-room everywhere.
CJ There is a convenient pocket with weighted cover in each door, and one on the
partition, a receptacle for telephone, a compartment containing ladies' toilet set,
including' leather-trimmed mirror, card case and memorandum book, and a com
partment containing gentleman's smoking set. There is a robe-hanger on the back
of the partition.
The upholstery is truly a revelation in luxury. The seat-springs arc deep and
yielding. The covering material is furnished in a variety of iir$t-quality selected
fabrics and stylish colorings.
CJ The special .scientific Cadillac spring suspension gives a riding-comfort which is
absolutely unique.
J Crystal plate windows weather-proof and rattle-proof may be raised or low
ered at will, providing ample protection from the weather and offering no obstacle
to cooling summer breezes.
CJ And the climax of nibtoring luxury is reached in the quiet smoothness and
unfailing clViciency of the Cadillac eight-cylinder V-typc engine.
As the Number of These Cars Available
Is Limited, Prompt Action Is Suggested
