TOOK 6 YEARS TO REACH STANDARD There are many interesting. inci- lents, says M. B.

They determined, first. of -all,, they would not built a car to, conform to. a price,. but, instead they sould’ build ascar to’ conform ‘to an ‘ideal which existed in their minds. They bes! lieved the public wanted a better ‘car, ofa certain type; they believed’ the, public wanted a car. of pi cértain tyne’ that they. could afford to‘ buy; that’, would be safe to ride in; that would: give them assurance of long life and economical service; a ‘good looking, veasy riding high grade car, ata low price. There was not such a car. as that in the market at that time. Dodge Brothers undertook to and did build that kind of a car. Illustrations A few illustrations will show how they carried out their plans. For example, the radiator. All radiato:s up to that time had been made of brass. Mr. John Dodge inquired how much ‘more efficiént would the rad- jator be if its core was made of cop- . On test, it proved to be six per cent more efficient than the same rad- jator made of brass. Mr. Dodge then said, “Our radiator will be made of copper.” He did. not ask, how much IN MAN HUNT AT LUVERNE | received With disfavor in the, house. |*| Opposition to the mill tax also w i | expressed when Re resentative Ki ; The firet and original Cold and \\chen’s pill providing for the reclas ; Grip tablet, the merit of which | fication of ‘schools for the purpose of! ; ts recognized by all civilized | distributing ‘state aid was up.

Dodge , Brothers /did not care -about that. They: knew what’ the Northeast Starter Generator would do in’ the hands: of the car cwners.

There had. never been an all-metal body commercially. marketed. ;All bodies/ had been made of:wood ail sheet metal, screwed and riveted’ together, squeaking,’ short- lived. Dodge Brothers conceived. the idea> of building. a body practically without joints, in that all joints were electridally welded, without ' rivets, without wood,; a body’ that would carry a permanent finigh that would not squeak, would nop, rattle, would last, and at the same time, would be) conspicuously handsome: The , dies! from which these bodies were built costa quarter million dollars—a ‘hea- vy investment, especially when every’ one said it was not possible to build REDUCTION In Tailored Suits $85 values now $50.00 $75 values now .$45.00 $65 values now .$40.90 $50 to $55 value $37.50 $40 to $45 value $30.00 TERMS CASH: Ending Feb. 28th, 1921 KLEIN | Tailor and Cleaner - - AUCTION SALE Owing to the fact that I must give ap my location Feb. 10, 1921, Stock of * Clothing and ‘I will’sell my entire _ Furnishings At.
