NEW CADILLAC ELIMINATES GREAT INCONVENIENCES.

The Cadillac Car has eliminated the two great inconveniences of motoring—the first, cranking the engine; the other, alighting from the car when darkness tails, no matter what the condition of the road or weather, to light the lamps. Doubtless one of the reasons that the operation of gasoline cars has been almost entirely restricted to men, is that it is usually a man work to crank a motor by hand. Not only experience, but the exertion of much strength is required to overcome the compression and 'turn over' the engine. The other inconvenience is almost as serious and most discouraging when rain is falling or the wind blowing with such force that it is almost impossible to preserve a match flame long enough to light an ordinary lamp. Both are obviated entirely in the new season's Cadillac. A woman can start the car as easily as a man. The lamps in front, and rear are lighted without an occupant of the car leaving his or her seat. To start the motor a button is pressed, and the clutch is disengaged by the foot pedal. This ls aii the operator does—the rest is automatic
