Primarily, Dodge Brothers started to build, not an automobile, but transportation and carrying caacity at tho lowest cost per mile of any transportation of fered for salo. "In order to glvo the American public tho lowest cost of trans portation per mile, It was necessary that a vehicle ho so designed that it possessed tho greatest amount of durability possible to incor porate in it. It must possess cconomyi of operation and tho cost of upkeep must be cut to the lowest point Wo did not set out to build ultra-fashionablo transportation, hut wo did sot out to build comfor table, good looking nnd economical transportation, and wo havo al ways worked toward that end. I want to emphasize tho fact that wo want to make Dodgo Brothers Motor Car so staple, that as regards transportation, it will be as staple as sugar or wheat, nmong foods. "Wo will never consider cost when quality, endurance or econ omy aro concerned. Wo will consider cost when tho result obtained is only perhaps Increased luxury, or thai which Is not nn absolute fun damental." (Speech of Prosldont F. J. Haynes at 1922 New York Auto Show to Dodgo Brothers dealers.) After Seven Years tho Result Largo In Value Low In Price. . . V. ROM1GH.
