The mechanical features of Dodge Brothers standard touring car were so well adapted to us: for light commer cial work that hundreds of business concerns bought the chassis alone and had, special commercial bodies built, to suit their requirements., Naturally, this practice led to a de mand for a light commercial car as a part of the Dodge Brothers regular, line of cars.
