The Gregorian chant of the Church had a most favorable influ. ence on worldly music. Up to the end of the tenth century mankind had sung only in one voice. A monk, Huchbald, who died about! 930, gave the first rules of how tones! and voicex may be united, and thus| founded the doctrine of harmony,| which in the following centuries was further developed.

It is everywhere conceded that Chrome Vanadium Steel is the toughest and most enduring metal ever created for use in the vital parts of a motor car. It may not be so well known, however, that Dodge Brothers Motor Car ranks first in the world in the use of this costly and fatigue-proof material, Dodge Brothers power assembly is almost entirely Chrome Vanadium — motor, con- necting rods, crankshaft, transmission, uni- versal joint, drive shaft, differential and rear axle. Even the front axle is Chrome Vanadium— the entire steering unit—and every leaf of the springs. In fact, wherever any manufacturer uses alloy steels, Dodge Brothers use costly Chrome Vanadium, ,And in numerous in- stances Dodge Brothers employ it where plain carbon steel, even in the costliest cars, is commonly thought sufficient. ~ This has been true from the day Dodge Brothers built their firgt motor car. This explains why the words Long Life, Safety and Dependability are habitually associated with the name Dedge Brothers wherever motor cars are serving mankind, -$935 Coupe .....$985 - 930 Sedan .....1050 Delivered in Bismarck - M,.B.

There are now two ways of buildingmotor cars. One is to forget quality and build cars for trading purposes. The cost of luction is cut to the bone, so that dealers may offer you more than the market value for your used car. The Buick way is to build for quallty’s sake—to give owners a better new car full of valuc—with every modern feature. Compare Buick design to that of other cars of the same or higher list price, and fix Buick superiority firmly in your mind, befere you spend your money.
