Exceptional Riding Cqmfort
Tho riding comfort cf a motor car is not de
pendent upon its length, weight or cost, any
more than the comfort cf a home depends upon
Its sire.
If the seats are deep enough and the proper
distance from the floor; if the seat backs are
correctly pitched for relaxation; if the up
holstery is sufticiently stuffed and there is plenty
of leg room; above all, if the springs are rightly
designed and of proper length, you will
have exceptional riding comfort. Otherwise,
you will not.
IXxige Brothers, with characteristic thorough
ness, studied and experimented with these
details foryears. Their findings were ultimately
incorporated in tho design of Dodge Brothers
Motor Car- without question now a vehicle
that ranks with the first in this vitally im
portant feature.

"The grade conquered by tho Star
car under Lewis' direction is known ;
as luiurol street hill." ho continues.',
"It Is in the contor of tho city of
Hi IHiiKham. Notwithstanding tho
fact that it loads up to a popular
residence district, l-uur.-l street hill
has btou improved only with a tg
aK concrete walk, due to tho un

is a sharp turn at tho bottom of tho
hill which makes it impossible to
set a runnlnK start, und that the
earth has been washed uvay irom

so that the wheels have xo make a
life of eight to fourteen lucht-s. this
performance can be rottdity appre
ciated as being remarkable.
'The first performance on tlie
taurel stnrH-t hill was with the
driver only, but eventually the
climb was initio with ftve persona
in the car. According to H. T.
Lewis it Has difficult to get ob
servers for tho demonstration, as a
runaway in going dona this stoop
hill would have precipitated a
plunge Into tho waters of Hetltng

"Tho fleetncss of a 'human grey
hound' rereuily failed to beat .in
automobile in n 100-yurd dn.sh
from a standing start at the Jx
AiiM'les CuliHeimi." A very Jlarri
son, local iHitoinobih; distributor,
relates.
A half-dozen four-cylinder cars
of different makes had been given
acceleration tents in - 100-yard
dashes, Tho best llmo was'inadc
by a Chevrolet. : Kach car ran
eight sprints over tho distance and
the results wore averaged. Tho
average time made by tho Chevro
let was lt. 7 3 Beconda.

and third were considerably higher
in price 'than the Chevrolet.
"After the toata. the question
arose as 'to the relative 'pick-up'
of tho automobile und the human

In the .Coliseum.Jielween A Chev

Striving to compete with Chrysler for first,
second, third and fourth place in the total
volume ot national sales are
Cars of lower price, cars of the same price,
cars of higher price, cars of more cylinders,
cars m'fhout any exception
But Chrysler is passing them all as rapidly
as the population of any given community
grasps the facts as expressed in Chrysler per
formance. Its beauty appeal is so surpassingly supe
rior to any car seeking comparison that
popular desire sweeps toward it impulsively
and then comes the astounding proof of
performance.
Sales figures for August are still on the way
but these widely separated and striking
evidences of public preference which are'
printed herewith tell the story of national
approval in a way which no one can mis-understand:
