C, MARCH 7, 1926—PART 3. “YOU ARE ENTITLED TO KNOW THE FACTS” DODGE BROTHERS, INC. A Dodge Brothers Motor Car. ... A speeding truck racing down hill and out of control..... A collision.... Outwardly, nearly all types of bodies appear to be all steel. In reality, however, most of them are simply frames of wood covered by a metal shell. Take one look at this photograph. It is not pretty, to be sure, but it will convince any sen- sible man that all steel construction is the only safe construction for a motor car body. That is why Dodge Brothers introduced the all steel body more than eleven years ago, and this year greatly improved and perfected it. In fact, Dodge Brothers are convinced that the day is not far off when wooden motor car bodies will be a curiosity. People will shudder at the thought of having ridden in them and will thank Dodge Brothers for the greater safety, dura- bility—and beauty, too—of all steel construction. A steel body will stand up under impacts that would crush the average body to bits. Steel cannot splinter. Steel cannot burn. Steel is an armor of protection on the crowded, hurry- ing highway. Dodge Brothers Motor Car bodies are steel through and through—steel reinforced by steel —buttressed and braced by steel—even the frames and running boards are steel. And slender, stronger steel corner posts replace the customary bulky posts of wood, affording full, unhampered driving vision on all sides —a safety feature of the first importance! Travel in-safety ! Powerful,quick-action brakes, a chassis world-famous for its sturdiness, and a body of steel — these explain the envinble repu- tation for safety enjoyed by Dodge Brothers Motor Car—and the enviable feeling of safety enjoyed by those who drive it. The car will continue to be a “four’’. No reasoning buyer will be distracted from the issue of QUALITY by mere CYLINDER propaganda.
