MODEL T FORDS ARE STILL GOOD TO ft pferHi JUj mm a tt-tA- VALUEFOR M0T.EY Engineers Give Greater Lux ury Than Ever Before for Low Prices That is what automobile manu facturers have ben trying to ac complish since the pioneer days of the industry, according to Karl H. Bronson, director of advertis ing for the DeSoto division" of Chrysler Motors, in a recent In terview at Detriot. "In designing DeSoto six bod ies," Bronson Baid, "Chrysler en gineers' predominating Idea was to give greater luxury and more comfort than was ever before found in the field of moderate priced 6-cylindeT cars. That is the principal reason for the unl versal popularity of DeSoto body styles. It explains, loo the great increase in production to keep pace with demands of dealers for new cars from our plant. Interiors Reflect Care "The interiors reflect the stud led care taken to provide for the comfort and pleasure of those who demaffd not only beauty of design but also easy riding qual ities and luxurious appointments as necessities In their personal automobile. This rominess and comfort are the keynotes of every Unterior in each DeSoto model. Seats with saddle spring cushions have ben scientifically planned to conform to the most restful and healthful sitting postures. TheTe is surplus of head iron and leg room in front and rear. The soft shading of the upholstery satis ties the eye of the most discrimin ating and critical." Here the monotony and plainness of the stuccoed walls have been re lived and enhanced through the use of brick for the entrance way and fireplace chimney. The high studio window tn the living room and porch-cochere are other artistic accents. Farther Information about this phut may be had from the C. 8.

First Dodge Ever Produced Found Sturdy as When it Ran Off Line in November, '14 The first car to Dealer No. 1 in the world-wide sales or ganization of Dodge Brothers has been found to be the same sturdy performer it was when it rolled off the assembly line back in November. 1914. The veteran touring car was recently traced to Nashville, Tenn., records showing that the car reached that city in De cember, 1914. Its owner is still driving the car daily, and it has a proud history of long tours through the eastern states and Canada among its recent accomplishments. The distinction of holding deal er contract No. 1 goes to John Cheek, president of the Cumber land Motor Car company, of Nash ville, who made the first sale of a Dodge car, and who still holds the company's franchise for that territory. The story of his success in the automotive field, and his start with the Dodge agency of Nash ville is indicative of the charac ter of the man himself. It was in 1914. when Europe -was in the first Btages of the "World war, that Mr. Cheek first heard that Horace and John Dodge were go ing into the automotive manu facturing field. Cheek and his father. Col. Joel O. Cheek, happened to be in San dusky, Ohio, when they heard the plans of Dodge Brothers. On ap proaching them, arrangements were completed for the first Dodge agency by a deposit of $1, 000 as a guarantee. Without hav ing seen a car. Cheek placed his order for 500 for the first year, to show his confidence in the Dodge Brothers, and the car they planned to place on the market Just before Christmas in 1914, the first shipment, consistingof a Dodge touring car crated in a box. reached Nashvlhe by express. Since that time, the Cumber land Motor Car company has ex panded to take care of the con stantly increasing business In Dodge Brothers' car, motor trucks and busses. They have passed through several "saturation points", and now with the number of cars on the highways Increas ing by the thousands every day, they are enjoying a volume of "The Model T Ford, which gave such faithful service for so many years, is still a good car," says R. G. Brady, service manager at the Valley Motor company. MlIIon8 of these Model T Fords are still in active use in every section of the country. They were made so simply and strongely, of such good materials, that many of them can be driven for two, three and even five more years with reasonable care and proper re placements. Statistics show that the average life of the Model T is seven years. "Whn h announcement was mad some time ago that the Ford Motor company was introducing the Model A Ford, it was also an nounced that the manufacture of replacement parts for the Model T car would no stop.
