NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, ‘SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1920. EVERYTHING FOR THE MECHANICAL TRANSMISSION OF POWER MANY and extravagant claims have been made as to who “won the war.” Dodge Power Transmission Products undoubtedly helped! We all helped—by unselfish co-operation. Prejudice ofsmethods and practices were swept away; sales and advertis- ing argument was reduced to absolute fact—we all worked TO WIN. In the light of America’s splendid achievement it will be unfortunate in- deed if former theories of business competition arise to defeat the peace time. industrial progress of the nation. The final decision, of course, is up to the ultimate user of a product, whether it be a machine tool or a method of power distribution in his plant. Does he prefer a virulent outburst of competitive argument? Or does he welcome a co-operation of the various interests that may, without prejudice, contribute to more extensive and profitable production? The Dodge policy is without prejudice; it is to plan and build, for any industrial plant, the most econemical productive system of power distri- bution possible in that plant regardiess of the products specified. The Dodge line contains everything for the transmission of power from its source, whether it be steam, water, gas, or electricity, to the machines which finally fabricate the raw materials. Dodge factories to deliver, was demonstrated in the building of the two great American Du Pont powder plants at Hopewell, Va., and Old Hickory. In 1915 when England was frantlcally building powder and shrapnel plants, Dodge shipped 127 carloads of standard stock products into the Hopewell plant, and in addition furnished England the greater share of countershafts that operated her new shell-making machinery. In 1917, 164 carloads of Dodge products went into the Old Hickory plant, and this “Roadbed for Power” was almost entirely GROUP% DRIVEN. Time and again Dodge dealers, branches and factories have co-operated to deliver unusual quantities of stock transmission products needed in certain plants before production could begin or expansion become effective. Dudge products are obtainable from dealers’ stocks all over the country on the immediate delivery basis and upon this national distribution sys- tem you may rely, as do we, in times when a long delay to your produc- tion may consume the entire prefits from a job.
