GomJValue-AlwaysBr winn Greater As the improvements are made in Dodge Brothers car nothing is said to Dodge Brothers dealers, or to the public, about them. This is in pursuance of a policy inaugura ted by Dodge Brothers at the very outset. They look upon the progressive improve ment of the car as a matter of course. It is a plain duty they owe to themselves and to the public. There is no necessity of heralding these improvements in advance. The public finds out about them in due time, and expresses appreciation and approval. And so, while the process of betterment goes on every day, nothing is said of it until after it is accomplished. The car'is basically the same car as it was two years ago. Yet there isn't" a bit of doubt but that it is a better car. The car of today is worth more money than the car of two years ago. The price is the same, but the car is a better car. Not because the costs of materials have increased although they have. But especially because the standards of construction have been steadily raised the shop practice made steadily finer. And still, the buyers of the first cars, and every subsequent car, received full value. That is proven by the fact that all of the cars, no matter how long ago they were built, are giving good service today. It is still further proven by the high price they command when sold at second hand. Any car built by Dodge Brothers com mands a high price whether it was built twenty-two months, or twelve months, or two months ago. This high valuation on any car bearing Dodge Brothers name, has been fixed, not by them, but by the public. Dodge Brothers have had few market problems to bother them, and practically nothing to do but make the car better. They are their own severest critics, and they will never wait for the public to ask for a better car from themf They try to anticipate to travel ahead to give even more than is expected. No material,' no part, and no accessory's barred from Dodge Brothers car because it is too high priced. The only question asked, the only proof demanded, is of its goodness. When the car was designed, its parts were . charted and chosen according to quality, and with a total disregard of price. That policy still prevails, only it has been intensified. No source of supply can have too high a standard for Dodge Brothers nothing too good can be offered for Dodge Brothers car. That policy, plus a process of research, test, refinement and proof, make for con tinuous progress. That is why it is still the same car, and yet a much finer car. That is why it is worth more money than ever, though still sold at the same price. That is why its value is always growing greater. t It will be well worth your whilo to examine thia 107 WEST Gth.
