Captain John J, Dev lin never questioned this opinion until ho was assigned to supervise two big government water projects near New port News, Va but the following let ter to Dodgfe Brothers.iHetroit. would Indicate that he hus encountered some thing that tends to change his view point. , " j i "It would hardly he possible, after the. reputation that Hodge lirothers cars made In France to say anything that would Increase It," the captain writes, N"yet I can not help kut add a word of praise for what It Is doing for us, under difficulties as great as those In France. "Two government water projects, the Big Hethel and Harwood Mills are located respectively t and 11 mile from Newport News and are un der the direction of my office. The communicating rads aYe, generally speaking, as bad as anf'tliat. I ever saw tn France. Communication Is maintained by means of Hodge Broth er' motor cars -and they have never failed us yet. "Hecently a storm, which was call ed the worst In years, swept this lo cality. During ono period of i hours It was reported that over 8 Inches of rain fell and my presence was neees. sary at both these projects. Against th advice of everyone that khew tho roads. I took a Dodge Brothflrs tour Inpr car and TV as absolutely awonished at the ease with which it took four passengers on the worst road I ever saw In France or America. The water lay 12 to-18 Inches aver the road most of the way asd I am aatisfied that a horse ceuld not hare done the job as the Hodse Brother car did. I am sending you photographs to Illustrate these conditions. Congratulations to you for making a real, serviceable car." This letter. Incidentally, will serve a an answer to many questions as to what the government did with the thousands of Dodge Brothers motor cars that were In the army during the war. They are still In the arms-, and In other branches of government service.
