"Doc Yak" Bonneau, easily th fa-j

vorite at the start, played in cad met and lost twenty-one minutes In three stps. He pulled down third place at that. Second money went to tvie Essex, a stock machine which performed nirvelously and triads only one stop t change tires. Fotirth money went to Magdo who had engine trouble through the whole race. A ten mile evert for eliminated cars was run, with No. 2. Xo. 3 and No. 16 as entrants. No. 3 won in 12 minutes. 57.4 seconds.

"No car," says THe Motor of London, "is Perfect and none ever will be; but the Model 59 Cadillac approaches that ideal as closely as any other car on the market regardless of Extract from an editorial article published

price or sizeThis remarkable tribute from a nation which never lightly bestows approval, but in a spirit of sportsmanship always admits and admires a superior achievement, releases us, we feel, from a reticence which has always governed our references to the Cadillac. The truth of the matter is that we have never expressed to the American people our own deep and innermost convictions concerning the Cadillac. We have refrained, from a sense of decent restraint, and because we have always felt that the Cadillac was its own most eloquent exponent. But we feel, now, that we owe it to more than a hundred thousand American owners of the present type of Cadillac, to share this tribute with them, and at the same time, to set down, once and for all, an honest belief concerning it, which we are certain they share with us. Heretofore, we may have seemed to consent, by our silence, at least, to the suggestion that a car equaling the Cadillac might possibly be bought at a considerably higher price.

Motor Car Journal of Great Britain. Resting on the generous admission of our English friends, we want our real feeling in the matter to go on record for all time: If it was never proven before, we firmly believe the last three years have demonstrated, beyond the possibility of doubt, that, regardless of price, the Cadillac is the best car in the world. Day after day, throughout these three years in fierce competition with the world's best in the world's war traveling side by side with the very flower of French, English, Italian, and American manufacture here at home, month after month in tens of thousands of hands the Cadillac has proven that money cannot build or buy a better car. tt We who build the Cadillac have never wavered for a" moment in this conviction. We share it now, with our friends, because we are sure that they, too, will derive from this unparalleled European tribute, at least a little of the deep satisfaction which it brings to us. It will be our pleasure to quote further from European comments on the Cadillac in subsequent announcements, and to give you some of the reasons for the faith that is in us.
