DODGE BROTHERS
MOTOR CAR
Its Goodness is alone responsible for the unusual demand
4
that has existed right from the beginning.
Nothing has ever disturbed the demand for this Car. No outside conditions, 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.
it.
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 Bodge Brothers Car is bonght, not apon price, but up the quality and vala⋅ that it embodies

NAVY ESTIMATES. FIRST LORD'S STATEMENT.
It was the Navy's day in the House of Cormons, on March 18th, and Mr. Walter Long, who has played many departments, presented the Naval many parts in Estimates for the first time as First Lord of the Admiralty. He asked for a. Vete

No one would have guessed from the First Lord's speech that there had been grave discontent in the Navy last year on the subject of pay, but Mr. George Lambert and Viscount Carson, the latter speaking from his own personal experi ences, did not minimise matters. He said
