A Business Coupe Of
Dodge Brothers offer to the business public of America
an entirely new principle in Coupe body construction.
From framework to window mouldings the body is built
of steol. It is the first all-steel closod car ever marketed.
This design anticipates every possiblo requirement of
commercial travel. It insures unusual quietness
unusual grace unusual stamina. It has made it possible
to give tho Coupe that same lustrous baked-on enamel
finish for which Dodge Brothors open cars have long
been famous.
The upholstery is of genuine leather leather that will
wash and wear. Tho seat is wide and comfortable.
Carrying compartments are accessible and spacious. The
car is equipped with a heater, dome light, window lovers,
windshield cleaner, cord tiros, Yale door locks, and every
other appointment nocessary to the owner's comfort
and protection.
Built inside and out to withstand the wear and tear of
everyday use, it retains tho samo lightness and beauty of
line which you aro accustomed to look for in Dodgo
Brothers cars.
It is the Business Coupe which business people the
world ovor havo been expocting from Dodge Brothers.
The Price is $1125 at North Platte.
