In this paper the following result is proved. Suppose there exists a C-matrix of order n + 1. Then if n≡1 (mod 4) there exists a Hadamard matrix of order 2nr(n + 1), while if n≡3 (mod 4) there exists a Hadamard matrix of order nr(n + 1) for all r ≧0. If n≡1 (mod 4) is a prime power, the method is adapted to prove the existence of a Hadamard matrix of the Williamson type, of order 2nr(n + 1), for all r ≧0.
