He washes it, polishes it, cleans it and drives it... himself. There is a family in New York which has owned a long series of Cadillacs to which have been given the names of people--because ithey regard their cars as all but members of the nousehold. There is a professional rpjgq jn a mid-western die better when he got his Cadillac. These are but typical of innumerable instance^ ©F the deep regard in which Cadillac owners hol4 their cars. The loyalty and respect a Cadillac engenders are extraordinary indeed.« ' What can there be about a motor car to make it mean so much to so many ? The answer is not far to seek. Because of its world-wide standing ««« of^ie better things in life, it reflects credit and prestige Upon its owner and indicates that he is a person of Substance and good taste. Because it performs so well and so dependably, world--an inspiring companion for his daily movements among his fellows. ( K Because it is beautiful and luxuriousrit is »|or to own and a pleasure to contemplate. Standing in his driveway, rolling down tlie streets of his favorite city, or parked at the entrance to a distinguished club--it is a credit to his judgment and a testimonral to his work.4 No wonder he cherishes it, and thinks of it as 10 buf^jpart of hjs own personality. Don't you think that a car which out mean so much to so many could mean a great deal to T^|f> Better come in today--and talk it over.
