The history of Dodge Brothers drastic price reductions
is simple and brief. -
A better and better product followed by greater i and.;
greater demand.
To meet that demand, an expansion of-buildings and
equipment involving an expenditure of more than
$10,000,000. ' ; '
Output vastly increased, w0i consequent reduction in
the cost of materials and produption.
Installation of advanced labor-saving and quality- ,
increasing equipment. , For, instance, one giant steel
body press costing $10,000 replaces ten former presses
costing $7,500 each, and does the work more efficiently.
Result: The finest line of vehicles in Dodge Brothers
history at prices that geem incredible in view of Dodge '
Brothers traditional quality 4 .
That seem more incredible still when considered in
connection with improvements that include-
Rich and attractive new colors.
Smart find stylish new body lines. '
Four dependable cylinders.
Absolute smoothness of engine operation.'
Greater power, snap and elasticity.
And advanced steel body and windshield construction
that afford exceptional driving vision at a time when
clear vision and safety are paramount in the mind of
every motorist.
