connected with the marketing of the
new car is, that, although we have al
ready shipped thousands Of machines,
practically none Of our dealers report
a single car in stock.
Since the manufacture OF motor
cars was commenced last fall, the
force OF Dodge Brothers employees
has been increased from 5000 to over
$500. Practically all manufacturing
departments are working OF day and
night shifts to fill orders"
Booming prices in cotton, With -
responding advance in the sale Of mo
tor cars, is reported by J. Fl. Gordon,
Southern District representative for
Dodge Brothers, on a visit to the De
troit factory. Automobile companies
who aided the southern growers oy
buying bales Of cotton at 10 cents per
pound, now stand in a fair way to,
sell their purchases at a profit says
Mr.. Gordon. Cotton prices have
been steadily advancing for the past
few weeks, and shipments ABROAD
have been large and numerous. Rus-
sia and England are taking the bulk
of the. cotton shipments and a. vast
quantity is also being sent to China.
Advices from India are to the effect
that the big Indian cotton crops are
below normal this year and this ought
to work to the advantage Of the Am
erican cotton grower. Automobiles
are selling fast right now. and some
of the Dodge Brothers dealers in the
South are even selling the standard
56.inch tread cars, in place Of the
wider tread usually demanded by
Southern motorists ADV.
