Behind this product, this price and this enviable reputation lie certain impressive and fundamental facts. So important is a knowledge of these facts to the motor car buyer that Dodge Brothers, Inc., have determined to publish them, from time to time, until every newspaper reader in America may be presumed to have read them: Dodge Brothers, during the past eleven years, have built and sold more than one million four hundred thousand motor cars and more than 90 of these cars are still in service. This record requires no com ment It stands Impressively alone in motor car history. It has never been Dodge Bro thers policy to build yearly models. When an Improve ment, that is really an im provement, Is discovered, it is made at once. Their slogan, "Constantly Improved But No Yearly Models" is familiar the world over. Dodge Brothers build one chas sis and only one. This policy materially lowers manufactur ing cost It also enables Dodge Brothers engineers to concen trate their entire time and thought on the betterment of this one type. Dodge Brothers have never had an "off year" or an "off car." This is because they have never used the public as a test ing ground for "new models" or lowered the quality of their product In the slightest degree. Every change has been an im provement on the original design. S lodge Brothers pioneered in uilding the first all-steel open car and the first all-steel closed car. These epochal develop ments have saved Dodge Brothers owners many millions of dollars by materially prolong ing motor car life and by effect ing marked economies in man ufacture. This construction has also reduced incalculably the danger from accident and fire. Dodge Brothers sell directly through their dealers to the purchaser. There are no sec tional distributing agencies to increase the cost of distribution and the cost of the car. Dodge Brothers have never given so-called "free service." The car is sold at a fair and honest 'price. Nothing is added to this original purchase price to pay for service that the owner may never need. Dodge Brothers Dealers were pioneers in unanimously adopting the flat rate service system. By this system, the owner knows in advance what any service job will cost There are no unpleasant surprises in his bills. The sturdiness and long life of Dodge Brothers Motor Car is reflected in its resale value. Comparatively few Dcdge Brothers Motor Cars are ad vertised in the resale columns of the newspapers. The values they bring testify unanswerably to their goodness and the pub lic's belief in their goodness. The time has passed when transient novelties can lead a , thoughtful buyer to overlook the great essentials of motor car worth. A few of these essentials, outlined above, go far to explain why Dodge Brothers name is accepted, the world over, as the hall mark of dollar -for -dollar value. Dddbb Broth &rs,Inc. D&TRDIT
