THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €. FEBRUARY .28, 1926— PART 3. ; " You ARE ENTITLED To KNaow THE FAcTs 20,000,000 motor veh1cles now travel the American highways. 50,000,000 Americans ride in these cars every day in the year. Safety for this vast army of travelers is a national issue, and where safety is involved plain speaking is a public duty. It is high time the public real- ized—as experts have long real- ized—that automobile bodies should be made of steel—not of wood or any other fragile material. Indeed, it is one of the mysteries of this usually progressive in- dustry that the all steel body is not already in universal use. It will be before long. Public opinion will demand it—as it now demands that railway sleeping cars be all steel. Forevenachild knowsthatsteel isstronger than wood—thatsteel will not splinter or burn—and that all steel bodies will stand up under impacts that would crush ordinary bodies to bits. That is why Dodge Brothers pioneered in infroducing the all steel body—pioneered: again recently, in improving and per- fecting it—pioneer, now, in urging its adoption by every automobile builder in the world. The issue is plain— Manufacturers must build safely if the automobile indus- try is to hold its present high place in public usefulness and esteem. And the all steel body—as ex- emplified in Dodge Brothers Motor Car—isthegreatestsingle advance in motoring safety made in the last fifteen years. & The car will continue to be a “‘four.”’ No reasoning buyer will be distracted from the issue of QUALITY by mere CYLINDER propaganda.
