It is only right, therefore, that drivers who violate speed laws that are established for the safety of everyone including themselves, should be made the primary target of state and local enforcement authorities throughout the nation in their determined effort to save at least 10,000 lives in traffic accidents in 1952. Few persons, will disagree with this decision. Speeding motorists have hung up the record of their own indictment and conviction where all may see it and shudder. They are responsible for nearly half of the nations highway deaths resulting from trafto fic violations and for of the injuries, which may exceed 1,500,000 when the statistics are tabulated for 1951.

In addition to all the taxes that the motorist today pays, he must pay a gasoline tax, which amounts to about $50 per 10,000 miles on the average.

Every day, buyers are taking possession of Cadillacs built before the war and are doing so with pride and anticipation. There are many and vital reasons for this enduring value of a Cadillac car. First, of course, is quality. Cadillacs are built to the highest standard it is practical to enforce in the production of a motor car. The watchword and the goal of those who design and build for Cadillac are one and the same how good and how enduring can this car be made t Year in and year out, the search for improvement goes relentlessly ahead. Small wonder that the car keeps its youth and far, far beyond the normal span. its performance 1 m pJtxfttfi um ittfte mro And then there is its sound and enduring beauty. Cadillac styling is a development with continuous improvement and refinement. Older Cadillacs, of course, are not to be mistaken for the current ones; but, regardless of age, they are still Cadillacs and are distinguished and dignified in their own rights. And then, of course, there is the wonderful Cadillac name which never loses its significance, no matter how old the car which bears it. Year for year and age for age, a Cadillac is always aside and apart from other cars. It is not unusual for a Cadillac to pass through four or five or even six different families each one owning it with pride and driving it with pleasure. Think of this when you buy your next car. If you get a Cadillac there can be no doubt that others will be eager to own it when it has served you the normal span. Why not come inland see and drive this wonder-- v ful car?
