DODGE BROTHERS
MOTOR CAR
Its Goodness is alone responsible for the unusual demand 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 timoment 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.
4
Peuple seem to know that Dodge Brothers' idea, from the very first, was that if they built the Car right, nothing else matiered. 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 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 apon price, but open the quality and value that it embodies.

Her career of mercy led her to Belgium, and there the overflowing chari. ty in her heart brought down upon her the wrath of the conquering Germans in the early days of the war for freedom. The gospel of hate challenged the gospel of love when the Germans condemned this woman, who, as a pitiful ministrant of the sick and wounded, had no regard for the gulf which divides nation from nation. When abe had been tried in secrecy and haste, and her amall. trail body, riddled with German, bullets, had ben hidden in the earth on the outskirts of Brussels, it seemed as though the gospel of hate had triumphed.

The moment was charged with all the significance of this unforgettable act of homage. In the congregation were sisters of the same lofty profession.
