Take one look at this photograph. It 13 not pretty, to be sure, but it will convince any s wsible man that all steel construction is the only safe construction for a motor car body. That is why Dodge Brothers introduced the all steel body more than eleven years ago, and this year greatly improved and ' perfected it. In fact, Dodge Brothers are convinced that the day is not far off when wooden motor car bodies will 'be a curiosity. People will shudder at the thought of having ridden in them and will thank Dodge Brothers for the greater safety, durability and beauty, too of all steel construction. A steel body will stand up under impacts that would crush the average body to bits. Steel cannot splinter. Steel cannot burn. Steel is an armor of protection on tJ-.e crowde-J, hurrying highway. Outwardly, nearly all types of bodies ap-. pear to be all steel. In reality, however, most of them are simply frames of wood covered by a metal shell. Dodge Brothers Motor Car bodies are steel through and through steel reinforced by sred buttressed and braced by steel even the frames arid runningboardsaresteel. And slender, stronger steel corner posts re pb.ee the customary bulky posts of wood, :;Tording full, unhamperol driving vision on ell sidi.i a safety feature of the first importance!
