the remaining an integral part of British Empire. He said that the madnes of Mr. Montagu and Lord Chelmsford would go down to pusterity as those of two great Englishmen who helped in building a stronger Imperial fabric. He denied that the Indian Princes were hostile to Britain.
A heavy responsibility rested on the British Government in connection with; the contemplated reforms, which, if carried out, would enhance the loyalty. the and contentment of India; bat, reforms were whittled down, a situation of extreme gravity would be created.

DODGE BROTHERS
MOTOR CAR
Its Goodness is alone responsible for the unusual that has existed right from the beginning.
demand
Nothing has ever disturbed the demand for this Car. No outside colitio 13, 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 Dodge Brothers' idea, from the very first, was that if they built the Car right, nothing else mattered. It is the quality revealed in
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 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 npon the quality and value that it embodies.
