THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31, 1910 This car will add new lustre to an honorable name THE mosT; valuable asset the Cadillac Company possesses is its good name a good name which is not merely the result of popular caprice but has been earned by what the car has done and what it has been. The Cadillac is, as you know, unique in the kind things that are said, and thought, and felt about it by thousands of people. This good name, and the extraordinary good will which it has engendered everywhere, we interpret as an obligation to build a car so fine as to remove itself automatically from the likelihood of competition. For 1911, therefore, our firsT: thought our one and only thought, in fact, has been to satisfy that widespread and im plicit confidence which always expeds the exceptional from the Cadillac. We believe we are justified in saying that in this larger, more powerful, more luxurious car, the Cadillac organization has surpassed itself. In spite of ten years of devoted adherence to the manufact uring principle that any one of ten thousand Cadillac's should be interchangeable in its parts with any other Cadillac of the same tvpe, we were not readv so short a time as twelve 191 I Important Improvements in Jj&SlS' "Thirty" worthy and as wonderful as this, men, mut fit themselves to do INCREASED POWLR Cylinder bore increased from 4 1-2 inches. This, with more efficient car buretor. (Schebler) which is waier jacketed, effects a material increase in powt-r. Piston Stroke, 4 1-2 inches. The four cylinders are cast sirvrly. with copper jackets applied, retaining thu exclusive Cadi lac features throughout. INCREASED COMFORT Wheel bat-increased from llo to 116 inches, making the car ride easier than ever. IMPROVED APPEARANCE Double drop frame, 2 1-2 inch drop, which makes car set lower, and this with the larger hood and more roomy tonneau greatly improves the appear ance. LARGE RADIATOR The rad'Ht'T is slightly larger, hence has greater cooling capacity. This is not i' h standing the act that the Cadi lac was never deficient in that re spect. TIM KEN AXLE Full float in tr type. Tinken roller bearing rear axle. This is the same axle as used nr a number of America'Jhighe(t priced cars. LARGER BRAKE DRUMS More powerful brakes, more easily applied and greatly increased efficiency. Contracting and expanding double acting brakes, both equalized.
