It is long service that the owner values in his Dodge Brothers car. Nobody fs going to cling to an old car just because it fs a relic. They do that with hetr- looms that have passed down from one generation to the other, but not with motor cars, But if the war con- tinnes to give the same dependabie service year after year, without un- due expense for parts, replacements mand frequent overhauling, it be- comes the most economical trans- portat'on that man can possibly eet. You can figure that by distrib- uting the original list price of the car over the number of years of service. When a man has owned a ear five, six or seven years, as is often the case with our owners, his annual investmént is reduced to rid- {culously small froportions. “It has always been Dodge Broth- ers contention that dependable per- formance, more than any other at- tribute, is important to the owner. Combined with the quality of long life, it enables him to do exactly What has just been pointed out, namely, distribute his investment over a period of years and thus re- duce his transportation costs to the minimum. With this in mind, Dodge Brothers have always been excep- tionally particular in; the selection of materials end in the quality of their workmanship. “The fact that they have now buflt more than 1,000,000 cars and that 90 per cent of this milion are still in service, proves conclusive iy that they have held steadfastly to the original ideal. Even when quantity reached the million mark quality still had first consideration and will continue to have as long as Dodge Brothers cars are built.” SIGNALS TO BE EXPLAINED (Continued From Page One) “Danger,” or in this case “Stop.” The middie light is of a néutral color and means “Traffic change,” ‘and flashes for a moment only, to give automobile drivers an op- portunity to shift gears and be ready for the on rush of traffic. This thoroughly feasible plan is in operation fn practically all of the Hastern cities of importance, and has boen found to solve the traffic ontro) situation at .busy corners, which in many cases has. become quite acute. It was first introduced in’ Milwaukee, Wis.,, where one stationery post signal was used for several months with marked suc- cess, merely as a trial of the general system. Milwaukee now has core or more of up-right po overhead signals, and curb lights, Other Eastern cities in which the traffic light plan is in general use are Chicago, Grand Rapids, Mich; St. Louis; Detroit; and Madison, Wis. Many others, of course come under this head, but those named aré the pioneers fn installation. It would seem probable that if thei city authorities adopt this plan overhead lights should be placed, for the present at Second and Center; Center and Midwest; and Second and Wolcott. @Vith three signals in} operation in our downtown distr Mr, Bacon tells us that it is poss to 80 set the time on exch light t they will co-ordinate and flash pathetically.
