ous farmer. A replica of tho first en
gines on tho Union Pacific was given
as was tho first log school house, ana
along side tho latter etood tho modern

DddgeBrothers
MOTOR CAR ,
First Many reports of from 20 to 28 miles to the gallon of
gasoline, ui to 10,000 miles on tho set of tires.
Second An almost total absence of the usual fixing and
adjusting and replacement of defective parts, as
Dodge cars are built, adjusted and tested at the fac
tory, each car being track tested before shipping.
Third After several years of the hardest driving, with
rarely any expense, the cars give continued good
service, proving the inbuilt quality and long life of
the car.
Fourth The moderate price of tho Dodjge repair parts and
the ability to get the parts anywhere the car is sold.
is both an economy of money and time for the per
son who buys a car, to use, rather than to stand in
. some ones' garage waiting, for repair parts to arrive
-
from some distant factory.
These are but a few of the reasons for 'the universal
success and sale of Dodge Brothers cars, You can obtain
many others from the users of the car. Ask them. . And
if you decide that you want a Dodge, an immediate order is
the only way to obtain one.
