A hunting jacket, a revolver, a camera, a 

 pair of gloves, a pair of skates or a pair 

 of opera glasses would make an appropri- 

 ate Christmas present for any man or boy 

 who is fond of outdoor sport. The skates 

 or the opera glasses would also please any 

 girl who is fond of skating or of the thea- 

 tre, and this means all girls. You can 

 get any of these articles by securing a 

 few yearly subscriptions to Recreation and

Construction 



Combines strength with simplicity. No auto- 

 mobile at double the money is so strongly con- 

 structed, so speedy on good roads, so depend- 

 able on bad, so capable in hill climbing as a 

 Cadillac. Friction is reduced to the minimum. 

 The mechanical excellence of the Cadillac is 

 without an equal for power, speed and safety. 



Write for booklet K which explains 

 Cadillac models in detail, and gives 

 % address of nearby agency where the 



cars may be seen and tried.
