DEXTER AND CROZIER'S EXHIBIT.
CAD ILL AC IMPROVEMENTS,
Messrs Dexter and Crozier, Ltd., show throe of the latest model Cadillac cars, one Paige- and two R.C.H.'s. The Cadillacs show a number of improvements over previous models, tho most important being the improved selfstarting and electric lighting device, which 'is now a standard equipment with all Cadillac ears. With the electric self-starter the cranking of the engine by haDd is entirely obviated. To start' tho car you merely press a button and pu~h your foot on a pedal,
and tho engine starts. Another great convenience is the powerful electrio lights, which are turned on and off by prossing a button. Two of these cars aro finished in royal bluo, nickel fittings, and mohair top. The other Cadillac is fitted with a special torpedo body, finished in a fawn colour and upholstered with anticpto leather. Two wind shields are provided, ono for th«_ front and ono for tho back passenger*. Tiio wheels aro of Baker demountable typo, which allows a complete nm. *a~z tyre to bo changed in less Shan fonr minutes.
Tho Paige car shown is a 25 h.p., chassis, fitted with a four-seated touring body, finished in bronze-grey colour. Tho two R.C.H. cars .shown, one a iivcsoated touring car and tho other a two-seated runabout, aro fitted with torpedo typt? bodies finished in red and black.
