3 An extremely well balanced car and a car lighter

both longer life and more economy. ,. -

the incentive to trade in a car becauso of the poor finish.
5 An engine with proper gear reduction, glviiig the
car power enough to take tho unusual road or hill without
overstrain, and tho ability to go where most other, cars
cannot go.
This lasting quality of tho Dodge is most emphasized
by most all Dodge owners, and this iB what Dodge Brothers

This is the standard set by Dodge Brothers themselves,
