'J'lioj Stand Up. 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.
