Wiloy, Suthor When an Owner is Satisfied with the car he drives, as all Dodge Brothers car. owner, seem to be, they become traveling sales man for Dodge cars. Dodge reputation made by the 140000 users sells more cars than all their salesmen. Talk to a Dodge owner and he will bring out several reasons for his satisfaction with his car. Here are some of those I have heard. First Extreme economy on gas, many re ports of from 20 to 27 miles to the gallon, also on tires, rarely less than 6000 and up to 13000 miles on the original tires. Secondly Power when needed to go any where any car ever went, and some places other cars cannot go with full passenger loads. Third Many references aro made to the beauty and lasting qualities of the body finish on the car, alkali-proof. Fourth An almost absolute freedom from broken gears, axles and bearings and wonderful . springs. Fifth Repair part service at home, where they buy their car. Sixth Many have called it the easiest riding small car they have sat in. Ask your neighbor or the next Dodge owner you sec and get his reasons first band. The .result of making cars BETTER showjn., sales and owners satisfaction. Is that the sort of--car you want to order now for early spring delivery? J. V. ROMIGH.
