New Spirit
Thanks to the opportunity given it
by the War Department at home
and abroad, a new spirit of good will
has grown up around Dodge Brothers
Motor Car.
Wherever soldiers meet, this car is
spoken of in terms of admiration and
even affection.
Soldiers grow to love the tools and
weapons and implements that serve
them.
They admire especially the inani
mate thing that shows grit and en
durance in a tight place.
That is American and that is the
American soldier in particular and
that is the sort of glory being woven
around Dodge Brothers Motor Car.
There will always be associated with
it the remembrance of the work it
did in the world war in army service
on both sides of the ocean.
Thousands of American soldiers are
corning back now from the camps in
America and the battle-front in
France, telling how well that work
was done.
The gasoline consumption Is unusually low
The tire mileage la unusually high i

They are telling it to their fathers and
mothers, their worshipping small
brothers, their sisters, their sweet
hearts and their friends.
It is the central figure in many a
stirring story told about the family
fire-place.
To many a white-haired American
mother it means something more, as
it goes by, than just a motor car.
She links it, somehow, with what her
own boy did, with what America did,
and with what America stands for.
Dodge Brothers are proud that theirs
was the one car of its type and class
chosen by the War Department.
They are prouder still that it has
been taken into the hearts and
homes of the American people.
The old folks, and the little folks who
don't forget, are spreading a leaven
of good will which will endure for
years to come. u 1 1
Dodge Brothers cherish this new
spirit of good will which has come
out of the world war as their most
valued possession. '
