DODGE BROTHERS
MOTOR CAR
Its Goodness is alone responsible for the unusual demand
that has existed right from the beginning.
No outside conditions,
Nothing has ever disturbed the demand for this Car. no conditions inside the industry seem to slow it up a particle. The people want the Car more intensely at this moment than ever they wanted it before. The Car has reached the stage when its sales are almost automatically. increased. By this we mean that one sale is almost certain to result in one or
two other sales.
There is a very pronounced and definite public opinion now in this country concerning the Dodge Bros. Car.
People seem to know that Dudge Brothers' idea, from the very first, was that It is the quality revealed in if they built the Car right, nothing else mattered. its performance which makes the price impressive. People are attracted by something more than price; it is the internal and external excellence which characterises the Car.
The high price it demands when sold second-hand increases the respect in which the Car is held.
It would be hard to find a truer test of enduring worth. People are not eager for used Cars unless they know that such Cars have before them a long life of satisfactory service.
And so the Dodge Brothers Car is bought, not upon price, but upon the quality and valu: that it embodies.
