What dp you get Today? r - , . . North Platte, Nebraska, Jun 17, 1921 1 To all car owners and prospective" car buyors: ' In my ten years In the Automobile business, I have never been able to offer to my trade any such value as I can today In Dodge Brothers 1 In ? of Mator Cars. Never has our factory or any other factory at any time,, before the war or. afterwards, sold a ' comparable for the price now on Dodge Brothers Cars. Compare a Dodge Brothers touring, car sold complete in North Platte today for $1140, with the cheapest car, and you will find, .that whereas in 191G, this car cost much less than half tlio price of a Dodge or to be exact just 45 per cent, that tqday the same small car sells for much moro than half or 53 per cent" of our price. Yet to day one of the oversize cord tires? on tho Dodge sells for almost as much as all four tires on tlio small car, an.d mpre than any three of their tires, N Then compare A Dodge Brothers Roadster at $1085, delivered at North Platte, with any of the fours or small sixes which today sell from $130 to $000 higher. Most of them have much smaller motors, shorter heelbase, smaller tires, many hao limitation leather upholstery and poor body finish. Consider just tho list of improvements made on. Dodgo Brothers cars within the past six nxbnths, which I -list below, and de cide as to' whether you can buy its equal anywhere. . . . OVER $200 AI)J)E1 IN IMPKO YEMENIS LATELY Wider body by four indies. ' v Heavier frame. Longer springs. Alenite force feed lubrication everywhere. , Heavier wheels over 50 per cent! y , Oversize CORD tires 32x4 Non skid all 'around' dlfferenco alone in this chantro. Heavier axles and drfe shaft.

' 1'' ' With the improvements recently mado and tho present reduction of prices, you can buy a Dodge Brothers car at an actual reduction, of moro than $510. Such a change as this means war and lsx mado only at a loss to the producer, and may not last long. It is for your benefit, . and surely if you are considering tho' purchase of a now motor icar, it must appeal to you to be the time to buy. Never even before tho war, was such value available .to our car buyors, and it will pay you to tako advantage of this situation during this price war. It certainly Is now a question of the survival of the flttest.and you can be sure tjiat "Dodgo Brothers will Live and Build Quality." Signed 71.. J. V. ROMIGH, P. S.
