And that same de pendability is the foundation of this latest Dodgs Brothers Six with its silent, sturdy and safe Mono-Piece Steel Body of unusual spaciousness, with wide doors and windows, abundant head-room, leg-room and elbow-room. Under the hood is a sturdy, dependable motor that gives it smooth, flexible, powerful per formance. And it is a safe car to drive with its weatherproof internal hydraulic brakes that are always positively equalized. Yet, with all the advanced quality of its design and construction, with all its typical Dodge dependability, the price is "lower than for any other closed car ever included in the Dodge Brothers line. 5IX&5 AND EHBHTE) UPHOLDING EVERY TRADITION OF DDCGC- 73 E-PErN ID ABILITY LC.
