"First announced by the National company Jn May, of 1915, the 12 was instantly hailed as an - immense success-' and when production was staged late in the summer of that year, thsre were -more orders for twelves on the books than the factory could fill in ,18 months. In fact, the output 'of twelves has been taking the dust of the demand for.the last two and one half years, despite the fact that the National company in 1916 and in 1217 doubled its production of twelves, 'of the previous, season.

"Experts in heraldry, delving into the dim . records . of , the past. hve, brought to light much, interesting in formation regarding the coat of arms of Antoine de . la Mothe Cadillac, which is used as the radiator emblem on Cadillac: cars. This authentic in formation shows that the coat of arms had its origin ' in the time of the crusades," isse.rts J. H. Hansen, of the Jones-Hansen-Cadillac company. "The shield is divided into four quarters. The first and fourth quari ters (upper left and lower right) are gold, divided by a; black ".'f ess,' or lateral band. Each 'quarter contains three 'merlettes' (small birds), two above and one below the fess. These quarters are th arms of the de la "Mothe family.", - , .

' ' t . v ,The second 'and third quarters (tip per right and lower left) are the arms of another ancient French -family of the landed gentry allied to the de la Mothe family by marriage. These were probably adopted in the de la Mothe coat of arms when by some fortunate - intermarriage ' another "seignetirie.".. (parcel of land) 'was added to their possessions. ,In these quarters the colors denote that the marriage added to the fame of the family of de la Jilothe. something be sides broad acres "marked prowess and boldness in action" for the red; "purity, charity, virtue and, plenty" for the silver.
