One big advantage of this plan has already been pointed out, In that each dealer will be able to show all his models, instead of a ttmited num \ ber as has been true at past shows In addition to this, the possibility { of taking the visitor thru an entire i automotive organization, showing } the equipment and facilities for handling motoring needs, is empha- sized.

Chairman Arthur F.

A Lons Time INVESTMENT Every Dodge Brothers Sedan body is steel built throughout— sills, pillars, panels, frames and all. This all-steel design—exclusively a Dodge Brothers feature—possesses certain prac- tical advantages which recommend it most emphatically to the closed car buyer. < It reduces cost, assures a structural preci- \ sion which is particularly evident in the , snug fit of doors and’‘windows, and results : in a staunchness of construction which { guarantees to the owner along timeinvest- | : ment—and a long time satisfaction.

Van Fleet, Northwest district manager for the General Petroleum corporation, refiners of General gasoline, that com- pany completed Friday the purchase of a considerable tract of property adjoining its Har-| bor island storage plant on the east. This purchase will add 25 per cent to the area of | the plant and will permit of the storage of at least a million gallons more General gaso-| line in Seattle.
