Real Economy in Buying a
Dodge Brothers
MOTOR CAR
ECONOMY IN UPKEEP, both the cheap and
the big car cost more for every mile they run. Any
of the now model Dodge Brothers cars should bo free
from repair expense in ordinary service for 2 or 3
years.
ECONOMY IN GAS AND OIL, This medium sized,
well finished, comfortable car will do 20 miles to the
gallon of gas on any ordinary roads with a minimum
of cylinder oil.
ECONOMY IN TIRES, With the big over-size cord
tires, you should ordinarily get 15,000 miles of ser
vice, which means three or more years for the aver
age owner.
And who would value the DEPENDABILITY of
these good Dodge Brothers cars, the ability to go out
day in and out, regardless of roads and other condi
tions, tho way they keep away from the repair shops,
tho way thoy all and always seem to be hitting on all
four cylinders, the absence of engine noise after years
yearc of service, the way they havo of showing tho
utmost in power, pulling big cars and trucks out of
holes, taking the steep canon grade that tho other
car goes around, tho way they speed to 55 and GO
miles an hour and trim many hvigcr and more costly
cars.
You have noticed tho loyalty of Dodge car own
ers, and in tho past year Dodgo car sales havo shown
the results, selling most everywhere two and three
times as many cars as any other competing make.
Over 050,000 Dodge cars now owned over the world
witli wonderful records for good service everywhere.
Is not this tho sort of car you want, is not this
tho sort of economy you want? Cheaper price and
thinner tin may suit some, but not the careful buyer,
who wants real and lasting value. ,
X V. ROMIGH, Dealer
Latest aud newest Sedan will be at our show
roou this week.
