Show I Cadillac once more proves itself most j economical car Remarkable record submitted by 75 Cadillac "Thirty" owners in ' L . New York metropolitan district who have driven their cars s - 398,884 miles at a total cost for mechanical repairs ' ' , of $53.21, averaging 71 cents per car. b$ If . Equivalent to 16 times around tho world 398,884 miles at a total repair "t ). cost of $53.21! " ' That is tho amazing record revealed '"it" by statistics just compiled from the experience of 75 Cadillac "Thirty" ' owners in New York City and vicinity. y It is doubtful if tho entiro history T a of travel and transportation steam, jf'l electric or gasoline can show a case or rl parallel economy: tf.M There was in "this instance no special ,' ; j striving to attain a minimum. Ml w Tho 75 owners went their separate M i ways with their 75 Cadillac "Thirty" ijj cars, each without referqneo to tho other. Tne,y took no special precautions, but drove where they pleased, when they .i'Xll ploased. how they pleased, without tho VJ slightest idea that their experience was f?i to bt made a matter of record. At tho close of 1909 statistics were ijj.'i collected and compiled from tho signed statements of tho 75 users. 1?'4j It was found that; tho 75 cars had ,!,; traveled a total distance of 398,884 ij miles, or a distance equivalent to -16 $ vjl.l trips around the world, jifit Forty-six of the owners had no re- rj pair cost whatever not a single penny 'm! sJ"to the fact that somo of O'j! them had driven their cars as much as fyi 18,000 miles. 45i The highest individual repair chargo ll44j for the entire year was that of ono user, whose ear cost him for special reasons which did not reflect upon tho 'f$s construction in any way $10. the dis- Ll'S tance it carried being 9000 miles. Ai't Eleven of tho others expended dur- 'M' nt? tijc year frf)m 25 ceDts to 50 cents. 'ilti avcrage distance traveled was 5318 miles per car, yet ihe averagb repair villi expense was less than 71 cents each, fflj Tho signed statement o'f theso . 75 'JB users showed further that tho average l'l lli gasoline consumption for the touring sftl jar was one Ea'ln fr eacn 15 miles of travel and ono quart of oil for each 175 miles of travel. The Demi-Tonneau enr showed an average of 17 1-5 miles for each gallon of gasoline and 200 miles for ench quart of oil. Some users obtained 20 or more miles for each gallon of gasoline, but tho figures first given are averages. Thero is no disguising tho fact .that this record has prpven n revelation, even to automobile manufacturers themselves them-selves It proves boyond a doubt what tho Cadillao company has always maintained, main-tained, that the elements in motor car construction which are absolutely necessary to economy and immunity from repairs are. scientific design, standardization, accuracy of workmanship workman-ship and correct alignment. Also that necessity for repairs is the result of poor design, inaccuracy of workmanship, workman-ship, ill-fitting and incorrectly aligned' parts. A year or moro ago they proved bo-foro bo-foro the Royal Automobile club of London that three Cadillacs could bo torn down; all the parts thrown in a pile; a portion of these parts discarded aud new; ones substituted, and the throo curs built up aain from tho heap of parts to run with absolute smoothness and without so much as an iota of loosc-Dewar loosc-Dewar Trophy. For this the Cadillac was a-warded tho Denver Trophy. f And now comes another demonstration demonstra-tion which simply emphasizes tho fact that tho convictions of the Cadillac company aB to tho essentials of a long-lived, long-lived, serviceable and economical car aro corect. Cadillac measurements aro finer in a grcaer proportion of essential parts than those, of a.ny other car in tho world finer than tho costliest cars made. Demonstrations to suit your convenience.
