New Type Automobile First of Its
Kind Made in United States.

Horse I'ortrp,
In announcing that Its new car la
powered with nn elsht-cyllnder engine
tf the V-typo. tho Cadillac Motor Car
rompany becomes the first American
manufacturer to develop an e (Bht-ryllntU-r
far for the market, and the only manu
facturer whose latest product embodies
l vital advance In engineering and in
motoring.
Thus are pet at rest the rumors which
for weeks have presumed to forecast
Cadillac Intentions and plans.
Tho first high-grade car at a popular
price was the original Cadillac Thirty
and this car opened up a now field to the
Industry.
For a year the Cadillac was tho only
car to carry an electric darting and light
Ing system a feature, that has become
on Important part of the regular equip
ment of almost every car.
To Improve Power.
Aa the Cadillac, statement announcing
the new car puts It:
"This company has never relaxed Ha
pursuit of that power principle which
would prove to he ultimate and final.
"We nought the medium by which the
Cadillac would be endowed, not with ap
proximate freedom from gear shifting,
or approximate hlll-cllmblng ability on
high, or approximately swift accelera
tion, but with tho highest possible form
of these three characteristic.
"The Cadillac company has given seri
ous consideration to every reputable typo
of motor endeavoring to scrutinise with
scientific impartiality tho virtues and the
limitations of each and every one alike,
"Building and experimenting, in turn,
with every type from the single cylinder
to the six, and from the poppet to tho
rotary and to the sliding valve, we have
been carried forward to the highest form
of frequent Impulse, motor the V-type
eight-cylinder.
"The principal advantage of the eight
cylinder engine in. of course, its continu
ous torque, and continuous uniform gen
eration of power. There is no pause, or
lapse between power lnpulses, of which
there are eight in each complete cycle
of the engine, four to every revolution
of tho crankshaft, or one every quarter
turn. The firing alternates from side
to Bide. The continuous torque produces
an almost utter absence of vibration, at
both high and low speeds."
Advantages Classified.
W. G. Aston, writing of the V-type of
eight cylinder motor in the Autocar Im
perial Year book, London, classifies Its
advantages under four heads, viz: size,
weight, torque and cooling.
I'nder the head of size lie comments
pn-ahe ahprtness of the construction,
which not only, reduces periodic vibra
tions in the crankshaft, but affords more
space for body work on a chassis o'
standard length. No extraordinary length
of Inlet piping is required, as the V-form
cylinders lend themselves very readily to
a piping" arrangement thut enable every
cylinder, to "receive a practically uniform,
charge or fai.'V'' ' , '
In the matter of weight, the shortness
of the V-type eight again figures, Mr.
Aston pointing out the reduction In the
length of crank case, the lighter crank,
shaft and flywheel, short camshaft and
lighter reciprocating parts because of the
comparatively emaller size of the cylinder
on a given power basis. .
As to torque, he shows bjr Illustration
that the torque of the eight la more uni
form and that additional cylinders could
do np more than Increase the power.
Tho author points out that, in the cool
ing system, each block of cylinders is
treated as a unit, and Ilia water circula
tion has no tendeocjr to form pockets
around the valves.
The cylinder dimensions of the new
Cadillac engine are comparatively small
3' Inches bore and tV Inches stroke
yet in repeated tests by dynamometer,
an excess of ft) horsepower has been
registered. . '
( t In Two Blocks.
The cylinders are cast In two blocks
or four cylinders each, with water jackets,
.combustion chambers. and Intake manl
' fold Integral. The cylinder blocks are
mounted on the crank cose at an angle
! of W degrees to each other, from whence
the designation, "V-type."
The cylinder are of the I-head type,
with all valves on the same side of the
cylinder blocks.
There is but one crankshaft, the con
necting rods of the cylinders opposite each
other being jointly attached. One cam
rhaft with eight cams is employed po
sitioned directly above the crankshaft,
driven by a silent chain from the crank
shaft and oierating the valves through
it series of rocket arms provided with
hardened steel rollers. The exhaust
valves are flat head type, made of Tung
sten steel, and the Inlet valves are tulip
shape to facilitate the Intake of gas.
The crankshaft Is 1 Inches In diam
eter, of special chrome nickel alloy steel,
supported by reinforced bronse, babbit
lined bearings of liberal proportions. Its
length is but 26 1-16 inches between the
outer ends of the forward and rear bear
ings, thus overcoming the periodic vibra
tion or thrashing almost sure to result
where a long crankshaft is used.
Parts Are Mant.
One of the factors which contributes
materially to the smoothness and absence
of vibration la this engine, aside from
it.i fundamental principle, is the light
'ness of the reciprocating parts. For ex
ample, a pair of piston connecting-rods
weigh only forty-eight ounces, yet In mak
ing the laboratory tests It required a com
pression strain of more than nine tons
to bend one of them,
A multiple Use, clutch is employed and
tfie motor and transmission are mounted
as a unit, the two rear points being bolted
to the frame and the forward point taken
rare of by a ball and socket joint.
Details of the car includa left drive and
center location of the gear change and
hand brake levers, wide doors, lighting
and Ignition switches located conven
iently on the cowl board and a pedal but
ton In the floor for bringing the electric
device into action.
The advent of the new car naturally
has created extraordinary excitement all
over the country and the feeling in the
trade echoes in a large measure the ex
pression of W. C. Leland. general man
aer of the Cadillac company, who la
nuoted a saying:
We believe the eight-cylinder Is des
tined to change completely the current
of motor ear design and manufacture."
This U supplemented by a statement
from Sales Manager I-:. C. Howard, who
says that report from every titv and
town of consequence In the country In
dimte an a Ivanco sale so unusual that
it will he Impossible for the Cadillac com
pany, even with an enlarged production,
to satisfy the demand during the first
twelve months.
Ford Business Has
Trebled Since New
Plan is Inaugurated
Since the announcement of the Kord
profit-sharing plan to lntlude retail buy
ers business at 'the local branch has in
creased to over three times the volume
done during a like period last year. Or
ders reieivel at the IVtroit factory show
that this increase is general all over the
country, and there is no question now
but that the 300,000 car production will be
greatly exceeded. Notwithstanding the
fact that the dally production Is now
running close to l,0u completed Kord cars
the factory Is over 1M.000 cars behind or
ders for Immediate delivery. About l.Ooo
of this number are ordered for shipment
to Nebraska points, although shipments
to greatly reduce this number aro ex
pected soon.

Enters Buy Bale
of Cotton Stunt
The Goodyear Tire and Rubber com
pany is tho first of the tire companies to
take up the "buy a bale of cotton" move
ment, by which an effort Is being made
to move at least a part of the south's
enormous cotton crop this year. Instruc
tions have been Issued to the managers
of Qoodyear's eight branches in the cot
ton belt to buy bales of cotton and place
them In the branch show windows. Each
bale bears the name and address of the
planter from wherry been purchased
and In addition an exhortation to others
to do likewise. ,
"The . present situation, due to the ac
cumulation of such a large crop with no
means ' of selling it, may yet prove of
value to southern farmers," says Good
year official who has Just returned from
the- south. "Too much reliance has been
placed by farmers on one, or at best, two
staple crops. When these fall, or when
they cannot be turned into cash, the
fanners are left helpless. Many of them
buy almost all their food products. This
condition is likely to be changed as a
result of this year's experience. More
diversified crops and more scientific till
ing la already being urged, and northern
farmers and their Ideas are now more
welcome in the south than ever before."

Did You Say
This?
Arc you the man who
sadly says, "I want an auto
mobile but I can't afford
one yet." Guilty? Then
you're the man who ought
to know the Saxon better.
You don't need to be
drawing a princely salary
to own a Saxon. In fact
the Saxon is the one really
good automobile you can
easily afford on the salary
you're getting now.
Not "Cheap" But

The price of the Saxon
is only $395, but it is a
long ways from being a
"cheap" car. It has proved
its quality in a 3389-mile
coast-to-coast trip in 30
days; in a hundred 200
mile non-stop runs; in the
hands of over 6500 owners
in every part of the country.

An Eight Cylinder Cadillac
The matchless mode of motoring reserved (o only a few privileged persons in the Old World
(at an almost prohibitive price) developed by the Cadillac Company for American motorists!
Serious minded motor car manufacturers have nought
the ideal rower principle for fifteen years.
The Cadillac Company lias never relaxed for a month, a
week, or a day, its patient pursuit of that underlying prin
ciple which would prove to be ultimate and final.
In the course of that long journey toward perfection, the
Cadillac, Company has given serious consideration to every
reputable type of motor endeavoring to scrutinize with
scientific impartiality the virtues ami tho limitations of
each and every one alike.
Building and experimenting' in turn, with every type
from the single cylinder to the six, and from the poppet to
tho rotary ami k the sliding valve, we liavo been carried
forward irresistibly, by the impetus of our own research,
to the highest fonn of fretjuent-impulse motor the V Typo
Kight Cylinder.
It is .admitted, we believe,' that this Company produced in
tlie four cylinder field, a succession of cars which earned
the title "Standard of the World."
lieyond that, loomed for us only one hope and possibility
the promise of a motor in which there would be no lapse,
no pause, no hesitation between impulses, but an overlap
ping of strokes so complete as to produce a flow of power
nlmst literally liquid in its continuity.
Wo sought the medium by which the Cadillac would be
endowed, not with approximate freedom from gear shifting,
or approximate hill-climbfng ability on high, or approxi
mately swift acceleration, but with the highest possiblo
fonn of these three characteristics.
Tho Cadillac already possessed thoso qualifications in an
extraordinary measure, but wo wanted them developed fc u
point beyond which it was not possible to go.
This requirement pointed straight to an Kight Cylinder
Cadillac with four power impulses during every revolution
of the fJy-wheeL
How fully these luxuries of travel have been achieved,
nothing but your first memorable ride in the new Cadillac
can reveah
As tho Cadillac softly speeds along nnder the almost
magic influence of this new power-principle, you become
oblivious to tho wonderful mechanism which gives you
motion. Tho sensation is as unique as though you had
never motored before the sense of floating through epaca
conies to you us it never came to you before.
It is useless to try to depict in words, thrills which you
have never felt or to iortray n degree of ease which you
have never experienced.
flood roads yield up a velvet quality of travel un
dreamed of.
Had roads lose much of their terror, and hills seem al
nvDfit to flatten out before you so easily, so quietly, and
with bo little effort does the ew surmount them.
In operation, you enjoy the extreme of flexibility from
less than three miles an hour )n crowded city streets and
mngested traffic to more than sixty miles an hour on tho
open highway, without change of gears.
Comfort is subserved in tho highest degree by the ab
sence of vibration and the pronounced flexibility and,
again, by the yielding springs; the ease with which the car
is handled and controlled; the smoothness of the worm
bevel driving gears, the soft clutch action and the excep
tional tsenso of reHt and relaxation.
Tho Buprerae motoring experience of your life awaits you
when you take your first ride in this truly remarkable car.
Ohaerve that the Power riant does not
demand 11 hood of abnormal proportion.
