Sound principles prove them- selves in times of stress, and test and trial. The reason Dodge Brothers Motor Car stands well today is that, six years ago, Dodge Brotherswere }hinking of to-day. They built their car, in the be- ginning so that it would be sure to stand well today. The reason Dodge Brothers Motor Car is now strong in sales is that, six years ago, Dodge Brothers were thinking less of building and selling motor cars and more of building and de- serving good will. == Six years ago they thought of sales only as something sure to follow if they built a car that de- served well at the hands of the people. They were not thinking, then, of the huge immediate market for motor cars, but of the surer, sounder, more permanent mar- ket for a good motor car. They wanted theirname tostand, not for the quantity of motor 1132-1134 Connecticut Avenue.

They looked forward to the day when that name alone would be sufficient to sell all of the Dodge Brothers Motor Cars their great works could build It was a sane, simple philosophy which thought of every man or woman who bought one of their motor cars as one who must be made a friend for the future it is one thing to conceive a car which will give each buyer a minimum ef trouble and 2 max- imum of satisfaction, and quite another thing to build such acar. Six years ago, Dodge Brothers devoted themselves to the ac- and kept on steadily making more and more sure that they had produced it. Because they thought chiefly of their good name 8ix years ago, and every day since, Dodge Brothers Motor Car stands well. and sells well, the world over, to-day. Telent Main 6660,
