"Thus it will bo seen," continued the statement, "that out of evercy five Ford cars and trucks sold' to retail purchasers In the United States alone during the ,jast f ourteent years, four are still in uctual daily use, which Is remartkable when the hard service or . commercial cars is taken Into consid eration.

Behind the simple phraseology of an announcement which Dodge Broth ers, Detroit automobile manufactur ers, are publishing today in every ii. portant city and town in America, lie the story of a new achievement in au tomobile development. "Dodsre Broth ers announce a business coupe: con servative changes In the body design of all other types," the advertisement reads. . The business coupe is the first all steel closed car ever marketed. In this respect it takes a now and dls tinee place in automotive history, for it involves an entirely unique principle of coupe body construction. The stee: body not only practically eliminates the problem of limited production, din- to the tedious and costly Individual workmanship required on wood bod ies, but also enables the manufactur ers lo' give the coupe the same lus trous bake1 enamel finish which lias already contributed so much to th reputation of Dodge Brothers open cars. ' This process in Itself will ulsu facilitate iuanfity product'ort, as an enoimious amount of time was con sumed heretofore in applying the Yui meriMis coats of paint required nn wood. . : , v , j Naturally, these are important fac tors In the determination of the sell- s ' Ih'portctl by Slate Highway Coiiuul.sslnii.

You may or may not have a large car at the same time, but the fact remains that some day you are going to be a Ford owner.

Sin V ' A . s A Business Coupe Of Btbel Dodge Brothers offer to the business public of America an entirely new principle in Coupe 'body construction. From framework to window mouldings the body is built of steel. It is the first all-steel closed car ever marketed. This d,es'gn anticipates every possible requirement of commercial travel. It insures unusual quietness unusual grace unusual stamina. It has made it possible, to give the Coupe that same lustrous baked-on enamel finish for which Dodge Brothers open cars have long been famous. The upholstery is of genuine leather leather that will wash and wear. The seat is wide and comfortable. Carrying compartments are accessible and spacious. The car is equipped with a heater, dome light, window levers, windshield cleaner, cord tires, Yale door locks, and every other appointment necessary" to the owner's comfort and protection. Built inside and out to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use, it retains the same lightness and beauty of line which you are accustomed to look for in Dodge Brothers cars. It is the Business Coupe which business people the world over have been expecting from Dodge Brothers. Tha pne it $980 "... Dtmt ELLIS-SCHILLER CO. Cor.
