More- is said- about the lasting qua.ities of a Dodge car, and more cars are sold because of this quality, than for any other-reason. An AlkKeuiid Car. But you will find that the Dodge has many things besides stamina and quality of parts. These other qualities are in addition to '.vhat the buyer expected and a pleas ant surprise to him. Here are a few of these other qualities you will find:- Economy of Gasoline and Tires. Power for, any conditon. Speed (one of our stock car's snowed 62 miles per hour.) Ease of riding. Efficient electric starter, will start the car on the coldest day, and the car will hit on all cylinders and pull from the jump-off., Unusual with present day gasoline, but ask any owner. A permanent body finish the only finish which stands up under our alkali mud. The U. S. Government buys Dodge Brothers cars because they stand up; you will order your Dodge car not only because it is an all around family car, big enough, powerful enough and fine enough for 90 per cent of us. An enormous oversale makes it necessary to ask for your early order if ytfit Vould have your Dodge Car this fall. "REPAJH TAHTS FOR THE CARS 1YE SELL." "SERVICE FOR OUR OWNERS." Sixth and Locust.
