PACE EIGHT DODGE DEALER POINTS Censidcriaxahe larse number of Im portant Improvement that have been mad, the lutest sharp reductions la the prices ft Dodtce Brothers Motor Car actually bring them down below the p re-mar level, according to Rex Kilia of Ellls-Schlller. the local deal- era. To substantiate his contention he pointed fimt to the car and then ta 'i three' closely typewritten pigea on Which sosi"uf these Improvements vera listed., ' ; ' -The automotive Industry descrfes .''hi lot of pmiI.I far the way H is going j.rter tile ' price question." said Mr. "Ellis. "I am not referring- to Dodge 'firothers nlnre. even though I believe they have d-iv more than ihelr share, S)ut to th 1-dustry as a whole.

" adopted heroic methods of reforms business and has cut prices until they are little short of farresbulble. In justice to one of the half dosen lead ing Industries of the nation R should receive credit for this policy, la many Instances It Is said ta have brought the coot of the 1SJS car sow to the Dries level of 114. which is more than can be said for the vast majority of Industries. "The fact Is particularly upsetting tn the average man already, owning a car because, every chop In the price of a new model of the make ha drives niMn. a straight, proportionate. In ewarable reduction In the value of his used 'car. And there, naturally. Is the rub. It Is a Strang thing that the car owner l willing for the fac tory ts cut the daylights out of Its price schedule, but still cherishes an Idea that the value of the car he owns Is unaffected when he wants to dis pose of M or trade It In. Another In stance of "Let George do K.'" OftRATORS' LEAGUE IS , NEWEST 0 The newest automobile organisation In I'matltta rountv is the ' Umatilla County Automobile Operators League.
