, FLEETWOOD OWNER'S LITERATURE PENALTY O F LEADERSHIP every field of human endeavor, he that is first must perpetually live in the white light of publicity. ?Whether the leadership be vested ever at in a man or in a manufactured product, emulation and envy are work. TIn art, in literature, in music, in industry, the reward and the punishment are always the same. TThe reward is widespread recognition; the punishment, fierce denial and detraction. TWhen a man's work becomes a standard for the whole world, it also becomes atarget for the shafts of the envious few. ?If his work be merely mediocre, he will be left severely alone -if he achieve a masterpiece, it will set a million tongues a-wagging. vealousy does not protrude its forked tongue at the artist who produces a commonplace painting. VWhatsoeveryou write, or paint, or play, or sing, or build, no one will strive tosurpass, or to slander you, unless your work be stamped with the seal of genius. TLong, longafter a great work or a good work has beendone, those who are disappointed or envious continue to cry out thatit can not be done. ?Spiteful little voices in the domain of art were raised against our own Whistler as a mountebank, long after the big world had acclaimed him its greatest artistic genius. ?Multitudes flocked to Bayreuthto worship at the musical shrine of Wagner, whiIethe little group of those whom he had dethroned and displaced argued angrily that he was no musicianat all. TThe little world continued to protest that h l t o n could never build a steamboat, while the big world flocked to the river banks to see his boat steam by. YThe leader is assailed because he is a leader, and the effort to equal him is merely added proof ofthat leadership. qFailing to equal to excel, the follower seeks to depreciate and destroy -but or to only confirms once more the superiority of that which he strives to as old as the world supplant. TThere is nothing newinthis.TItis and as old as the human passions -envy, fear, greed, ambition, and the desireto surpass. TAnd it all avails nothing. TIf theleadertruly leads, he remains - the leader. TMasteppoet, masteppainter, master workman, each in his turn is assailed,.and each holds his laurels through the ages. TThat which is good or great makes itself known, no matter how loud the clamor of denial. TThat which deserves to live-lives.

As commonplace as standardized parts are today, in 1908parts were still individually fitted hand both in production and service. Standardization opened the eyes of the industrial world and was the corner-stone of modern production. From this achievement evolved the reference to Cadillac as "Standard of the World." In 1909 Cadillac was purchased by the then new General Motors Corporation. Convenience, cleanliness and all-weather comfort were greatly enhanced in 1910 when Cadillac became the first manufacturer to offer closed bodies as standard equipment. "The Penalty of Leadership" first appeared in the January 2, 1915 issue of The Saturday Evening Post as an expression of the Cadillac commitment to leadership, quality, and innovation. It is widely regarded as one of the finest documents ever written and was published following the introduction of the first production V8 engine. The V8 was standard in all 1915 model Cadillacs.
