SETS RECORD
A Thing
of the
Past
Before, the dny.i of closed cur modela,
mid before the introduction of the Stude
Ixikcr Dtiplex-I'hnftoi) to give own car
advunlaKos with closed enr com forts in
those dnys most car ownem looked forward
to winter with the idea of putting their
earn lip until sprinir,
VVinler diiving; had many dinndvantajres
and many more discomforts. An open car,
even with curtains, was far from bpiiifr
a joy forever.
Now, if you have a new Ktudclwker,
whether closed or Duplex model, you "can
laiiKh nt the winter breezes. You can
enjoy winter motorinjf with the mime con
fidence you have in mid-summer your
Mudebaker runs as smoothly, performs as
constantly, and has the name tremendous
mipply of power.
The old days are Rone if you are a Stude
baker owner. If you aren't why not join
the ranks of satisfied motorists and jrpt
your order in today?
The demand for Studehnkers has
never been so great as, this year.
A one-profit and unit-construction
car makes this possible.

um proud of these records for
two reasons." said Charles I'.
Uarlh, vlce-pre-iident in charge of
production. . .. .
"My ; first reason la lluit since
March . tho Chevrolet - production
has remained consistently at Cu.uuO
or morn without the usual season-
ablo fluctuations, frills Indicates
hat the automobile 'industry Is be
coming stabilized upon a regular
ear-round demand. ;
My second reason Is that the
September production proved con
clusively the loyalty and rapacity
of the Chevrolet - manufacturing
organization. i:nceaalna; demand
for cars from tho Chevrolet dialers
made It necessary early in Bepleov
ber to Increase the September uro.

nrw schedule calling for aS.ict

crease of that magnitude la a lie.
vere teat of any manufacturing or
ganization. Tho sales department
would have desired us to Increase
he production schedule even more
harply. "Ihn results exceeded our
highest expectations. The ' lovul
workers In the Chevrolet factories,
Uiost of them veteruus who are
proud of their Jobs und proud of
their product, responded to a man.
They came through with the rec
ord September production or 00,

A number of other Important mat

The most commonly known
causes or knocks In an engine
arc; Heavy carbon deposit, over
heating, loose bearings, end play
or shurts, loose pistons and loose
gears. Light tupping knocks or
clicks such as are caused by
loose tappet adjustment, may not
result seriously ivi-n If pi-rmitt.'il
to go uncorrected for an indefi
nite period.
Heavy or loud noises and
knocks should, however, be In
vestigated lminedlTitely, fie cause
usccrtolned, und prompt correc
tion made. Different types and
nuikcs or engines have their own

Insluiices a certain knock may be
productive or less disastrous eon-
sequences than In the case. of an
other. '. . . Y . - . -A
very good rule to observe at
all times Is thut when a knock

inspected at ; once,-, oven though
some. few of these-may continue

A Bo od
Nam
&
Rajrely in manufacturing history has a name entrenched
itself so firmly .in the confidence of the entire world as the
name Dodge Brothers. . : . .
Everywhere and to; everyone this name means but one
thing: a product built honestly of the best available materi
als and sold at a just price. :. i
Behind this product,;this pkee and this enviable reputation
lie certain impressive and fundamental facts.
So important is a knowledge of these facts to the motor car
buyer that Dodge Brothers, Inc.; have determined to publish
them, from time to time, until every newspaper reader in
America may be presumed to have read them:
Dodge Brothert, during the
past eleven years, have built
and sold more than one million
four hundred thousand motor
cars and more than 90 of
these cars are still in service.
This record requires no com
ment It stands impressively
alone in motor car .history.
It has never been Dodge Bro
thers policy to build yearly
models. When an improve
ment, fAaf is really an im
provement, is discovered, it Is
made at once. Their slogan,
"Constantly Improved But No '
. Yearly Models" is familiar the
world' over.
. Dodge Brothers build one chas
sis and only one. This policy
materially lowers manufactur
ing cost It also enables Dodge
Brothers engineers to concen
trate their entire time and
thought on the betterment of
this one type.
Dodge Brothers have never
had an "off year" or an "off
car." This is because they have
never used the public as a test
ing ground for "new models"
or lowered the quality of their
product in the slightest degree.
Every change has been an im
provement on the original
design.
Dodge Brothers pioneered in
building the first all-steel open
car and the first all-steel closed
car. These epochal develop
ments have saved Dodge
Brothers owners many millions
, of dollars by materially prolong
ing motor car life and by effect-
. ing marked economies in man
ufacture. This construction has
also reduced incalculably the
: danger from accident and fire.
'Dodge Brothers cell directly
through their dealers to the
purchaser. There are no sec
tional . distributing agencies to
increase the cost of distribution
and the cost of the car.
Dodge Brothers have never
given so-called "free service."
The car is sold at a fair, and
honest price.. Nothing id added
to this original purchase price '
to pay for service that the owner
may never need
Dodge Brothers Dealers were
pioneers in unanimously
adopting the flat rate service
system. , By this system, the
owner knows in advance what
any service job will cost There
are no unpleasant surprises in
his bills
The sturdiness and long life of
Dodge Brothers Motor Car is
reflected in its resale value.
Comparatively few Dodge
Brothers Motor Cars are ad
vertised in the resale columns of
the newspapers. The values
they bring testify unanswerably
to their goodness and the pub
lic's belief in their goodness. "
The time has passed when transient novelties can lead a
thoughtful buyer to overlook the great essentials of motor
car worth. A few of these essentials, outlined above eo
far to explain why Dodge Brothers name is accepted 'the
world over, as the hall mark of dollar -for -dollar value!
