All Dodge cars have been good, they are known world-wide for their dependability and long life, and . these old cars have mado this good reputation. Today with many improvements now added to the car, they will give better and even longer ser vice. Heavier frames, axles and drive shafts, longer springs, larger and deeper upholstered bodies stronger wheels and big over size tires. Think what these things mean in the service of the newer Dodgo Models. No material is too good or costly to use in this quality medium sized and priced car. For example, all leather used in the Dodge is outside hand buffed leather, used only in cars like Cadillac and Pierco, and in our closed cars', Chase Mohair velvet plush is used, identical with upholstery used in all closed Cad illacs. For real quality and economy, let your next car be a Dodge. . V. ROMIQH, DEALER Last Friday nftornbon the people down town wore trented to an in teresting sight.
