' "vinifiFtrr General Hitchcock will make,
a. strong presentation to congress at the
tnmlng Besston In favor of the establish
ment of postal savings banks. Mr. Hitch
cork has collated, during his term of
office, all available Information as to the
operation of the postal savings bank In
foreign countries and these data, without
exception, are substantial argument In
favor of the policy of governmental bar.ka.
While the people of the I'nlted States are
unquestionably the (treated bank deposi
tors In tho world there are still hundreds
of thousand!! of American citizens who,
It Is believed, villi welcome a policy which
will enshle tlu'in to deposit their savings
with the giai.inlee of the government
behind them, thereby Increasing the total
bunk holdings 'd at the same time adding
to the available dish In the treasury. It
I bflltved. too, that postal savings banks
IM check tho desire among timid people
to withdraw their funds from depositories
whenever business condition become
"panicky," not only from the government
depositories, but from national and state
Institutions as well. It Is a well known
fact that more than half the bnnk "runs"
are canned by the ilmld small drpositora
who, becoming frightened over rumors of
Insecurity, hasten to the banks and by
their numbers create a scare which rap
Idly spreads. If these small depositors
can feel certain that -their funds are safe,
when In the care of the federal govern
ment, they will have no occasion to "start
a panic" and as a consequence fewer
"runs" and their following failures will
result.
John Wanamaker, when postmaster gen
eral, was the first tablnet officer 'to make
a e-tous effort to Induce congress to
authorize the establishment of postal sav
ings banks. Hut at that time his chief,
Trrsldent Harrison, did not show any en
thusiasm for the plan. On the other hand,
It Is understood that President Taft la In
hearty accord with the plans of the
postmaster general and will back him up
to the limit of his power.. President Taft
has shown that his power- of persuasion
la very effective upon congress, so that
Mr. Hitchcock's program Is likely to be
adopted before the close of the Sixty-first
congress.
Parrels Post flrporamenda t Ion.
Another change In the postal service
which will probably be advocated by Mr,
Hitchcock Is not so likely to meet with
congressional endorsement Is the parcels
post. The people of the United States are
oday in the most peculiar position In re
gard to the transportation of merchandise
through the malls. While It is possible to
send a twelve-pound package from Ban
Francisco to London, Berlin or Paris by
mall for 91.44. the same parcel addressed
to New York or Omaha would not be re
ceived, and even If It should be accepted
the postage would be $1.92. The present
pontal laws limit the weight of a package
of merchandise to four pounds and tho
poxtage rate Is 1:1 cents per pound on do
mestic matter as compared with 12 cents
per pound on packages aild:ssed to any
country with which the United States has
a parcels post treaty.
The chief opposition to the enactment of
a more liberal parcels port law has come
from the jxptess companies, and these or
ganizations are still very active In their
(
. opposition. But In recent years they ha
won to their support a very powerful and
widespread following. The country store-hrer-eis
have become alarmed at the grow
ing business of the "mall order" houses,
Those concerns have the farms and the
villages In every rural community flooded
with their oatalogues, and are constantly
drumming trade through the medium of
millions of circulars sent through the malls
The small merchants are compelled to give
rrenlt to their customers, while the mall
order people sell only for cash In advance.
Naturally the country merchant opposes
any legislation which promises to Increase
the facilities of his powerful city rival and
within the last two or throe years he ha
Jolnd with the express companies In a
fight against the proposed parcels post law.
The most active umong small storekeepers
are located In Oklahoma. Kansas and N
' bratika and It is understood that an or
r
ganization has been perfected among them
with a view to sending committees to
Washington to plead with the committee.!
of the senate and the house and t ) protest
against a change In the postal laws which
they fear will result In the annihilation
of their business.

This year's Cadillac dominated the trend of he entire industry. It introduced in the manufacture of motor cars a new
measure of value. The 1910 Cadillac, announced herewith, goes further than did its predecessor. It creates a still higher
type of efficiency entirely new at the price. No 1910 car, no matter whether its price be higher or lower, can escape compari
son with this new Cadillac. It must, perforce, be accepted as the criterion for the current season.
The thought which we wish to convey to your mind immediately is that the 1910 Cad
illac foretells the end of the era of high prices for the finest cars.
We realize the grave resposibility that attaches to such an announcement coming
from the Cadillac Company.
Realizing it we beg to remind you that this company has always held fast to high
and honorable ideals.'
We venture, further, to refresh your memory regarding the record of 1909.
We promised you a year ago that we would build the car the whole world had
waited for the first truly high grade car at a popular price.
We believe it is universally conceded that we carried out that promise to the letter
that the Cadillac Thirty was far and away the most noteworthy product of 1909.
The 1910 Cadillac is
Tbe new Cadillac Thirty breaki dwn the laat slight harrier th.r separated the ear from those of high
est price.
First- bjr furnishing a larger engine, which means greater power.
The 1910 Cadillac is not proportioned more generously nor more nicely balanced, than was its pre
de-censor of 1000.
Dut, in keeping with lta betterment, the engine has be-u built on Nliglitly larger proportion. The
Cylinder bore is a quarter of an inch greater (he dhiieuluns now being: Hoie 44 inches;
Stroke 4 inches.
The engine with, lu increased slso will embody the same magnificently standardized construction,
which brought the Cadillac the most cherished prize in the automobile world the famous ).
war Trophy.
Second by its greater hill-climbing ability.
The increase of power naturally means Increase in 1 he car's ability on tho level and on the grades.
In car perfectly standardised nd the winning of the Dewar Trophy stamped the Cadillac the most
perfectly standardized car In the world any Increase In power is material gain, because Cad
illac standardization reduces friction the great power antagonist to the very minimum.
Third by its two Ignition systems.
In the important matter of ignition, the 1910 Cadillac is truly a marvel.
The two Ignition systems are separate, complete and independent.
Utther uloue is efficient for starting and operating the car. '
Fourth by t, larger wheels anil tlren. and Its longer wheel base. ,'
The enviable place occupied by the Cadllhu- of 10O0U the estimation of thousands of owners was won
no less by Its superior riding qualities than by its magnificent operative qualities.
In spite of this, we hay that the Cadillac for 1910 w 111 ride more easily than the 10O9 car.

That this was the consensus of public opinion was proven by the fact that within GO
days after the original announcement was made, every car we could build in u
year was sold.
The Cadillac Thirty far outsold any other car arid many hundreds of buyers who wero
slow in placing their orders were disappointed.
At this writing the demand for the new 1910 Cadillac is more than double the tremen
dous pressure of orders recorded a year ago for the 1909 car.
This record of the past year's performance, and the certainty of a second j-ear's sales
success even greater than 1909, should inspire you with confidence in our sin
cerity when we say that
This i, due to three change. In construcOon-Leng thening the wheel base to 110 inches, and .ccord
ingly lengthening the Mpenlon between the axle, by 4 Inches; increasing the size of the wheel,
from 82 to 34 Inches; and increasing the tires from 82 by 3 inches to 31 by 4 inches.
Fifth by its larger, more roomy tonneau.
Because of the additional wheel base we are enabled to furnish a more commodious and more com.
fortable body. Tho tonneau of the loot cars afford generous room for accomodating th.ee pas
sengers comfortably; and there will be still more foot room and a wider tonneau for those oc
cupylng the rear seat of the new Cadillac.
The price of the 1010 Cadillac- 1.600-includes three oil lamps, two g. lamps and generator, horn,
magneto, larger wheels and tires. larger tonneau, increased comfort, and increased efficiency
and control. This additional equipment more than equals the Increase In price over 1900.
We ak you once more to bear in mind what we have frequently said In the past:
That the sale of the 1000 Cadillac was limited only by the producing capacl.y of the Cadillac plant.
If it had been possible for us to build 20.OOO cars tor 1000, the public would have absorbed them.
Today the demand for the 1010 Cadillac is more than double In volume the demand at thi. time last
year for the 1000 product.
If you. by any chance, were among those, who, willing to pay a substantial cash premium for the pri.
vllege of buying a 1009 Cadillac still are among the diaP,,olntcd you have i.o desire to repe
your experience.
The Cadillac dealer In jour locality knows definitely how many of the cars his allotment calls fori
and he also knows that It will be futile to ask us to allow him more than he has already been
assigned.
See the 1010 Cadillac, and you will see at a glance that it does Invade the domain of highest price, and
that it is impossible to buy more actual automobile value at any price than this car offers at
91,000 (F. O. H. Detroit). Furnished either as Touring Car, Demi-Tonneau or Runabout.
