With production and employ
ment at top peak to meet the de-
mand for the three lines of Sizes.
Dodf Brothers, Inc., anticipates
the most prosperous year In his
tory, according to John R. Lee.
general sales manager.
Nearly 6,000 men,: hare been
added to the payroll since Jan
nary 1, the figures now standing
at 24.124 compared to 18,223 on
the first of January.
Shipments of ears and tracks
from the plants of Dodge Broth
ers In the United States and Can
ada daring the first quarter of
this year totaled 60.187 units,
according to preliminary figures
announced by the company.
Compared to the first quarter
last year, when 46,566 units were
shipped the gain la 29.7 per cent.
Shipments In March totaled 26,
895 units compared to 13,272 for
March 1927, a gain of 102.6 per
cent. J
"Reports reaching us from deal
ers all orer the country indicate
a record breaking spring buying
Pfason." said Mr. Lee. "The In
troduction of the Standard Six at
prices within the reach of millions
of families not only met with pub
lic acclaim, but stimulated inter
est In the Senior and Victory lines
as well.
"The low priced automobile
. these days, if it is to be built and
sold on a quantity scale, must
possess style, high speed and
comfort as well as dependability.
and it must be produced by a com
pany whose reputation is estab-1
lished by years of successful op
eration in the automotire field.
"With the Introduction of the
Standard line, the transition to
six cylinder cars Is complete in
the Dodge factory. For thirteen
years. Dodge Brothers based its
bid for popularity on the prlncl
pies of economy and dependability
In a single price field. During' this
time, the company has built up
an organization of 5.600 dealers
In the United States and foreign
countries, forming a sales and ser-
Tice group of international scope.
"The Victory Six introduced
last January with engineering 1m
provements years ahead of its
time has met with popularity that
stamps It as one of the most wide
ly discussed cars on the market
today. The Senior Six. introduced
nearly a year ago to meet a de
mand for a larger car with super
fine appointments, is giving pur
chasers custom built quality with
out a custom price. It was only
natural that the Standard' line,
selling substantially under 31.000
should follow to complete the
range of automobile values for
buyers who want a moderate pric
ed car with a high standard of
performance."

Motorists at times will Tind
their cars Inclined to play peculiar
antics when certain nnder-tbe-
frame parts become out of adjust
ment.
This much I will publish of the
answers I gave to peculiar ques
tions.
"When operating my car at
high speeds it develops an up-
and-down bouncing motion, which
increases noticeably soon as I
reach a speed of 25 miles an hour.
What, in your opinion, causes this
condition?"
Answer: A small diameter wheel
and tire, such as your car is
equipped with, will show up and
out -of -balance In a .very pro
nounced manner when -traveling
at a speed in excess of 25 milee
per hour.- No doubt your trouble
Is entirely due to either an out
of-balance, wheel, an eccentric
wheel, or an out-of -balance tire,
Any one of these three conditions
will cause a similar reaction and
can be detected and corrected
very readily by any one familial
with wheel alignment.
Another motorist Inquires: "My
car is extremely difficult to hold
on the road, a it has a tendency
to pull to the right. I have had
the car inspected and it apparent
ly checks okey and yet thecondi
tlon continues. "Wnat Sis tht
cause
I analysed this problem asfol
lows: The cause of a car pulling
to the right or left Is doe -to the
friction of the road, and this It
brought about by either a twisted
- axle, bent steering knuckle, or
shifted axle. Also a variation of
air pressure will bring about this
condition to a certain extent, as
to do is to obtain a proper align
ment of the front axle with the
frame and yon will not have any
more trouble.
