Sparky was unable to give the Olds a fair speed test because of the age of the car. Her speedometer showed but 8 miles when she was taken from the showroom.

Detroit PLANTS Che Casver Sundav Cribune a | | = ‘(| YEAR JUST ENDED WAS BEST FOR DODGE BROTHERS AUTO The year 1924 was the most suc; cesful in the history of Dodge Bro- thers, according to company execu- tives. While the automobile industry as @ whole showed a production de- crease of 8 per cent for the first ten months of the year, compared with the same period for 1923, Dodge Brothers increased their production and sales 35.6 per cent. The figures for the remaining two months of the year will show about the same percentage of gain, accord. 0 John A. Nichols, Jr., general sales manager. é “It will be recalled that 1923 was the banner year of the industry,” Mr, Nichole added Prior to 1924, it was also Dodge Brothers best year and in view of this, our large in: crease last year is especially note, worthy. “Tt 1s not exceptional for a small company or one that is just getting | built and sold. Registration records under way in busin to _make | show that more than one million of New such an jncrease. But Dodge Bror thers, who sfand among the three or four largest motor car manufac: turers in the world, to advance so sharply over an extra good previous year, is conceded by all authorities to be actually remarkable. “Bear in mind that every year of their history hag been a good year for Dodge Brothers, There have been no ups and downs—only con- sistent gains. These facts contribute to the unusualness of the achieve. ment. » “Our 1924 shipments to dealers ag- gregated 225,104 cars, of which 193,- 861 were of the passenger type and 31,243 commercial. “Practically this entire total! repre- Sents retail sales, as dealers stocks at the clove of the ywar were unus- ually low. “Dodge Brothers ended their tenth year with a toal of 1,250,060 cars this number are still in daily ser: vice, giving some {dea of ‘the ma- terials an@ methods employed in bullding the ow SALES RECORD SINCE SHOWS STARTED HOLDS OPTIMISM FOR NASH In substantiation of indications that point to record-breaking sales in 1926, Nash has shown @ net gain of 90 per cent in retall sales at the six big automobile shows held since January 1, over the figures of last year, ‘These’ gains for individual shows range all the way from 23 Per cent to 200 per cent, the latter showing being made {n Detrojt, the hub of the automobile | industry,” says E, Ht McCarty, general sales manager of The Nash Motors ‘coms, pany. Beginning with New York, where shows is held, the new Nash Special and Advanced Six cars were the center of attraction and when the doors of the Exposition building had closed, figures tabulated from the bona fide sales records showed a f 41 per cent.” RIDES IN ASHES LONDON, Englind, Jan. 81.- A eonviet secreted himrelf beneath the hood or a motor truck and unmo- lested by guards, rode to freedom through the huge, forbidding gates of the’London goal _ ANNOUNCING A COMPLETE STOCK Genuine F TIRES AND ACCESSORIES All in Addition to Our Regular Reftal Service ORD Parts D RENT ANEW-CAR (fl 1 TUBES ~ the first of the season's motor car 106 SOUTH DURBIN STREET “The Little Store Around the Corner” A Challenge to All Cars Smoothness New Counter-balanced Crankshaft A counter-balanced crankshaft stat- , ically and dynamically ba! gives new smoothness to nced Jewett.
