COLUMBUS, OHIO, HAS JOINED the list of cities which greet new residents with a Welcome Car. When
a new family settles in town, the city's official hostess makes a welcome call in this smart Studebaker
Brougham, and puts herself and the car at the family's disposal to assist them in getting established. New
families receive samples of various Columbus products and coupons entitling them to courtesies at the
principal stores and business establishments.

One of the outstanding advantages of the Dodge Six is
the sense of security it brings to driver and passengers. No
matter what the road or traffic condition, this sturdy car
insures maximum safety and protection with a body of
typical Dodge strength and rigidity. This body is built inflex
ibly onto the chassis in such a way that the center of gravity is
exceptionally low. And also you always have the complete
security of Dodge Six 4-wheel hydraulic brakes positive- ;
(y equalized internal-expanding absolutely weatherproof.
