Portland. To carry on the inves
tigations, flections of the mou.r

factory at Detroit.
"We regard the mono-piece body,
found exclusively on the new DndK'J
Brothers hIx models, as one (,f the
; most Hlnil'ieant contribittioiiH to
(modern motor car design." Hahl C.
i K. Spencer, iirincipal of the auto

troduced with the annoimcwmunt of

that incorporates , strength, safetv.
roominess and Improved appear'
ance. Four major sections are
welded into one piece, and horizontal-vertical
bolting to the chas
sis frame eliminates the conven
tional Mill separating tho body and
chassis in other forms of construc
tion. This lowering of the pass

of gravlly and perfect balance un
der all driving conditions without
sacrificing head room.
The mono-piece body ad a pis it
self to the tread in modern body
styles by Its longer and lower ap

seams or joints afford: u smooth
unbroken surface for the distinc
tive lacquers and color combina

models.

STABILITY OF

"fialance and a low center of

to motor car stability, have be
come factors of -major importance

v nen a driver must swerve sud

"Thus the announcement by
