Eagle Creek Notes At Contributed GENERAL PERSHING IN DODGE BROTHERS CAR Commander Of American Troops Entered Mexi co In Detroit Product Other Dodge Brothers’ Motor Cars Were Used To Transport Supplies Until Arrival Of Big Trucks According to detailed advices now arriving from the border. Dodge Brothers' motor cars have played a prominent part in the invasion of Mexico in pursuit of Villa. When General Perishing led his troops across the border he traveled in a Dodge Brothers’ motor car, and four other tour ing cars were used in the trans portation of supplies. These cars have, of course, been since sup planted in this work by the big trucks shipped to Mexico but the touring cars are still in use by the army. According to the transporta tion department they have made wonderful records in the desert travel after the fleeing Mexican bandit. Reporting on the performance of the Dodge Brothers’ car that carried General Pershing on the first advance, an army officer said: “ We had practically to make our own roads and from what the Dodge Brothers’ car showed on that trip I believe it could climb a wall. The car went through mountain passes and over places where it was neces sary for the engineering corps to blast out a trail before the trucks coming after could get through at all.” The motor is 30-35 horsepower. Price for this wonderful car in Estacada is $ 880. If you want to get there get a “D O D G E ” Estacada, Oregon Church of Christ Preaching, Sunday April 30th at 11 A. M. and 7.30 P.
