I The new Oldsmobile had been driven less than 2000 miles when it -?as started over the Lookout MowrMn risia with Floyd Cly mer of Denver driving. . It was a regular stock car except that the top. had been removed to decrease wind resistance. . r "" , The Lookout Mountain and ICIiy cle route is 47 miles long and fo,n taina 412 dangerous curves, many of them of the "hairpin" variety. The first leg ofjJhe, trip, from Denver to Golden, up a gradual grade 10 miles .lpftg was made i 11 minutes. Froni Golden to the top of Lookout the grades "run from 6 to 14 percent a climb of 1737 feet up the face of the mountain on a road that is one continuous series of switchback turns. This six miles was made In 11 minutes and only for k short distance was t It necessary to use second gear, which is considered one of , the most remarkable fea tures of the run. ,.

This run is 12 H miles long and the grade rises approximately a mile in that distance. The eleva tion Is 9150 feet above sea level at urysiai f ails, wnere tne run starts, and is 14.6QO feet at the summit of the mountain. In one two-mile stretche the elevation rises 99 S feet which te 203 feet higher than the Woolworth build Inrln New York City. , r .This stock car record of 28 jnln utesj 49 seconds Is within 11 min utes. ,30' seconds of the " record time made by a special racing car equipped with superchargers in the annual Pike's Peak race. The Lookout Mountain record was of ficially timed and clked by pamon S. 1z.lt, automobile editor it tne. Denver News and Times, and the Pike's Peak run was timed and checked by Gall and Russell H. Kenney of the Denver Post. - . . - These two records are consid ered by automobile men to be the most remarkable ever made by -a stock' car. Official timers and checker's report that at no time during either run did the Oldsmo bile grow hot and show any me chanical difficulty. The time made is proof that the performance was perfect throughout both "record runs. x MILL VCIiREIt HUItT .

"!. - i V.' c ft! Dodge Brothers, during the ' past eleven years, have built and sold rhore than one millicn 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 j to build yearly models. When an improve ment, riiar 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. J -' " 't "'" '? " " Dodge Brothers build one chas . sis arid only one. This policy materially lowers mrmufactur 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.w This is because they have . never used the public as a test ing ground for "new models" or lowered the quality of their produc iit the slightest degree. Every change has been an im provement' on the original Dodge" Brothers pioneered in building the first all-steel open .car and the first all-steel closed car. These epochal develop-'- mentShavo saved Dodge tSj::;." ':i fjp TJO 'Brothers owners mariy millions", jiJ i!

This construction has ; also reduced incalculably the ' ; danger from accident and fire. : . li ' ' Dodge Brothers sell directly i 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.". kThe! car is sold at a fair and nonest price. Nothuig is added - to this original purchase price to pay fcr service that the owner -may never need. ; , ' Dodge Brothers Dealers were pioneers in upanimously 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 Dodgo : Brothers Motor Cars are 6ry : vertised in the resale coiamns:cf the newspapers." The values . they bring testify unanswerably to their goodness and the pub lic's belief in their goodness. k The purchase of an automobile is a serious and important business. The time has passed when transient novelties caii lead a thoughtful buyer to overlook the great essentials of motor car worth. ; ' ! j . - :' . ..I'-' - - : A fewof these essentials are clearly outlined above. They go far to explain why Dodge Brothers name is accepted, the world over, as the hall mark of dollar - for - dollar value. " i . , . J .-;.. . .
