TYPES OF BOSSLI.

I've worked for all types of bosses. There are stingy men who make you keep a cover on the inkwell for fear some of it will evaporate and be wasted. There are grumpy ones who always look as if they had a flatiron for breakfast, And there are the playful ones who are about a sprightly as a hundred-year-okl ele phant. Every one has his own quota of peculiarities and his own little way of put- ting silver threads among the hrun of his. stenographer'<'coiffure,

LIFE

In buying a motor car, consider what the cost will be when divided over a period of years.

What is the car's reputation for satisfac- tory service after the first year After the second? And after the third-and

fourth?

1hese considerations, in the final analysis, are the true basis of economy in motoring.

And it is this attribute to which Dodge Brothers Motor Car owes its chief claim upon the unalterable loyalty of its owners.

The price of the Standard Model, five- passenger Touring Car, complete with Magnéto and with five Cord Tyres is $2,400.
