I délieve in Dodge Brothers *Motor Car because into its making have gone the finest thoughts of those two master men whose name it bears. I believe in this car because I know| that beneath the lustre of a matchless |- exterior is the expression of honesty and integrity in material form. I know that bound up in every polished gearing are those qualities which manifest themselves in all! In. offering Dodge Brothers Motor Car I know that Iam selling a machine that is great achievements. made of iron and steel and character —a vehicle that must and does sym- bolizé and maintain a priceless repu- tation built on honor. My faith is not alone a faith in a car—it is a faith in the ideals of men, for I know that back of these mighty factories their thought.is ever master. I believe, with Berton Braley, that— ‘Back of the motor’s humming, Back of the belts that sing, Back of the hammers’ drumming, Back of the cranes that swing, There are the eyes which scan them, Watching thru stress and “strain; There are the Minds which- plan them Back oft the brawa, the brain.’ And‘soI stand, inspired with the blazing truth that I am selling thru honest effort something not only built by man, but built of man to be sold to men by a Man.
