Samuel Gompers said "Our country
is tho greatest domocracy In the
-world."
David said "The angel of tho Lord
encampeth roindj iibout thorn that
fear Him and dclivorcth them". Psalms
34-7.
Wo had tho privilege of living a
week with about fifty camp firo girls
at tholr camp north of tho rlvor. This
is tho third yoar wo havo had tliis
pleasure though somo might think
this would not ho much pleasuro since
wo tfpro personally rcsponslhlo for
tho wolfn.ro of eleven girls, but tho
girls did tholr part so willingly that
their caro was no burden. Bach year
has boon more cnjoyablo than tho ono
boforo and each year wo seo more
bonofits to tho girls from tho camp.
Whon Miss Kompthorno, tho National
Flold Secretary of tho Camp Firo glrla
was lioro, Bho emphasized tho Idea of
camping for girls and said that this
idea wan spreading vory fast and bo
coming very popular ovor tho country.
Wo agroo with Miss Kompthorno
nnd by our oxporlcnco with tho work,
are- convinced that thoro is nothing
olso that will benefit tho girls so
much, physically, mentally and spirit
ually, at bo small a cost of timo and
monoy. Tho rogular habits and out
door llfo build up tholr bodies nnd
storo up oncrgy thnt will help thorn
all through tho yoar. Tho work dono
in tho classes brings out mnny un
known talonts. Tho handcraft dovol
ops tho untried artistic sido, the sing
ing dovolops tho musical pbsslbllltlcs
nnd thoso possibilities aro indeed re
markable Wo woro surely proud of
tho original songs presented by tho
difforont groups, consisting of versos
about campfiro, written by tho girls
nnd sung to baautlful old tunoa, no
cheap Jazz stuff. This living closo to
naturo takes tho girls' minds from
tho frivolous nnd artificial things of
lifo for a littlo Bpaco and calls tholr
attention to tho wondorrul, worth
while things all about Who can esti
mate tho Jnfluonco of birds nnd flow
ers, of brilliant sunsets nnd moonlit
rlvor upon girls nt this moBt impros
Blonablo ago? Not halt of our camp
firo girls enjoyed ,tho bonofits of camp
this yoar and wo aro sorry. Wo hope
that next year ovory fathor and
mother of a camp fire girl Iwrtll make
n Bpoclnl effort to havo tholr girl ro
coivo theso bonofits. On nnothor pago
is a comploto list of tho groups ropro

. ''Deai Sir orMadam:
If all you people could KNOW what Dodge Brothers and $ know about
the innate -quality that is built into all Dodge cars, many of you would be
willing to pay more money and if needed wait much longer for delivery
than you do now. It is truly what is, and has always been built into these -cars,
that gives them the extreme service ability and long life. No good
service in any product is not a matter of accident, but must be put there
for you by the manufacturer. I want to give you just a few of the essen
tials which show the result and maybe methods of this good intention to,
only build the best.
Suppose we start out with Dodge Brothers ideal as, expressed in 1914,
when they started to build their own car. "No material, no part, no access-,-ory
-too good nor too high priced for Dodge Brothers cars, provided only
that it was useful to the car owner or would create longer life in the car."
This ideal has been lived up to for over seven years with the result that
there are now over 750,000 satisfied owners.
t- You all know the difference in the quality of cloth, whether it is
silk, wool or cotton. Good silk, good wool and fine cotton cloth wear
longer and look better during their useful life. There is just as much diff
erence in the iron and steel and other materials used in an honest auto
mobile as in any of these fabrics. High alloy steels like .the chrome nickel
and chrome vanadium steels used in every part of a Dodge car which bears
any strain (over 1-8 of the weight of the car is of high alloy steels), mean
just as much to the life of your automobile as fine Australian wool means to
the length of wear given you by a good suit of clothes. Recently two
makers of cars, both of which' sell for more money than the Dodge have
advertised that they are using vanadium steel for one leaf in their front
springs and hearlded this as a great improvement. Dodge Brothers have
always .used vanadium steel in every leaf in every spring, both front and
rear, and the first old Dodge brought to North Platte by Wm. Hendy in
February 1915, and by him sold to Thos. Orton had all vanadium springs.
It may be that you carefully judge the leather used in the shoes you
buy. In shoes, you can get anything from split leather to the finest calf
and vici kid, but the better leather costs more. Many cars use split leather
for their upholstery, it is dyed and stamped to look good, but the wear is
notthere. Dodge Brothers use outside hand-buffed leather in all their
open cars and the new Coupe, and never have used any imitation leather
in any upholstery on their cars. Just examine the cushions of a Dodge
.after years of use and see another result of quality.
'Did you ever notice the permanent lustre of the body finish of a
Dodge car, after years of use? The bodies of all our open cars and the new
Coupe are finished in baked enamel, being baked in electric ovens at 4503 F.
and recently they are given five coats instead of the four previously used,
which increases the life and the beauty of this wonderful finish.
I could tell you of the use of Timken' bearings, not only in their front
wheels, but in the rear wheels; of the almost unfailing and quiet North
East starter, the new and longer springs, the more than 50 per cent stronger
rear axle unit, and the heavier frame and axles in the new models. But
these are only details. What you want to know is do these Dodge cars
stand up do they give senice do they take any and all roads and bring
you back safely? To these questions, I would prefer to refer you to our
more than 750 Dodge owners, some of whom are driving their second,
third, fourth and fifth successive Dodge cars.
Price is the last thing to talk about when you buy anything of per-
manent value like a every day utility such as a car has become. Still you
' will find that Dodge prices are most reasonable, and as a result of fair
prices and real quality built into the car, Dodge Brothers cars have out
sold all of the nine or ten other competitors in or near its price class. On
a basis of the buying votes, Dodge leads everywhere by a plurality.
Now what will you do when you buy your next car I think it will
pay you to look our Dodge models over carefully and compare value, just
as you do when you make other purchases of much smaller value. And
remember that we do give complete and immediate service on all our cars,
even until they die. A full stock of all parts always in stock in North
Platte for your service.
