One of the notable events of the season will be the appearance of Capt Roald Amundsen, the famous explor- er, at Poli's, Wednesday afternoon at 430 o'clock, when he will deliver a lecture of thrilling interest, entitled “Our Airplane Dash for the North Pole.” In this remarkable world famous explorer will give 2 count of his experiences in the last Summer, whe he a panions were compelled to desce the frozen Polar during their at tempted airpline flight to the North ole. Lvery feature of this titanic strus. gle against the grim forces of nature will be shown in a series of colored stereopticon pictures with which Capt Amundsen will illustrate his lecture.

Everywhere and to everyone this name means but one thing: a product built honestly of the best available materi- als and sold at a just price. Behind this product, this price and this enviable reputation lie certain impressive and fundamental facts. So important is a knowledge of these facts to the motor car buyer that Dodge Brothers, Inc., have determined to publish them, from time to time, until every newspaper reader in America may be presumed to have read them: Dodge Brothers, during the past eleven years, have built and sold more than one million four hundred thousand motor cars—and more than 909, of these cars are still in service. ‘This record requires no com- ment. It stands impressively alone in motor car history. It has never been Dodge Bro- thers policy to build yearly models. When an improve- ment, that is really an im- provement, is discovered, it is made at once. Their slogan, “Constantly Improved But No Yearly Models” is familiar the world over. Dodge Brothersbuild one chas- materially lowers manufactur- ing cost. It also enables Dodge Brothers engineers to concen- trate their entire time and thought on the betterment of this one type. Dodge Brothers have never had an “off year” or an “off car.” Thisis because they have never used the public as a test- ing ground for “new models” or lowered the quality of their product in the slightest degree. Every change has been an im- provement on the original design. Dodge Brothers pioneered in building the first all-steel open carand the first all-steel closed car. These epochal develop- ments have saved Dodge Brothers owners many millions of dollars by materially prolong- ing motor car life and by effect- ing marked economies in man- ufacture. This construction has also reduced incalculably the danger from accident and fire. Dodge Brothers sell directly through their dealers to the purchaser. There are no sec- tional distributing agencies to increase the cost of distribution and the cost of the car. Dodge Brothers have never given so-called “free service.” The car is sold at a fair and honest price. Nothing is added to this original purchase price to pay for service that theowner may never need. Dodge Brothers Dealers were pioneers in unanimously adopting the flat rate service system. By this system, the owner knows in advance what any service job will cost: There are no unpleasant surprises in his bills, The sturdiness and long life of Dodge Brothers Motor Car is reflected in its resale value. Comparatively few Dodge Brothers Motor Cars are ad- vertised in the resale columns of the newspapers. The values they bring testify unanswerably to their goodness—and the pub= lic’s belief in théir goodness, The time has passed when transient novelties can lead a thoughtful buyer to overlook the great essentials of motor car worth. A few of these essentials, outlined above, go far to explain why Dodge Brothers name is accepted, the world over,'as the hall mark of dollar-for-dollar value, Dopce BROTHERS,INC. DETROIT
