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.
