Letters and Remarks from
Dodge Owners
There is not a car under a thousand
dollars that has thing on the Dodge.
CLAYTON UPP,
Expert Auto Authority.
When l invite any one to ride with
me they almost invariably remark
how easy my car rides and how quiet
the engine runs. It is a real quality
car.
CHAS. LEST.
l averaged twenty-five miles to the
gallon of gas the first 500 miles and
frequently carried seven full grown
passengers. It is also very economi-
cal on oil.

Heavily loaded it took every hill be-
tween Wauseon and DEVILS Lake on
high. / had contracted for another
make of car, but the comfort and ease
of this trip showed us that we would
not be satisfied with any thing less
than a Dodge.

Dear Sir:-
Early in April, of this year, a
Dodge Brothers Five Passenger Tour
ing Car was delivered to me and
since that time have driven the car
nearly 1000 miles; although no testi-
monial has been solicited, wish to
advise you that l am very much pleas
ed with the car and consider it to be
the best automobile that I have ever
owned, although have owned several
higher priced cars before.
have had absolutely no engine,
magnetic or carburetor trouble what
ever and have raised the hood only
for the purpose Of putting in lubri-
eating oil and turning the grease
cups. The car is very easy riding,
|and absorbs the bumps better than my
previous car did, although equipped
with shock absorbers, find the car
very easy to handle and very re-
| sponsive, and as to economy in fuel,
7 wish to state that last Friday I
motored to Auburn, Indiana, a dis
tance of 208 miles and used ten gal
Ions of gasoline, making a little bet
ter than twenty miles for each gal
Ion Of gasoline. I use about one
quart of oil for each 200 miles of
travel. In fact I cannot recommend
the Dodge Car too highly and I con-
slider it to be the best car for the
money on the market.
| Yours very truly.

Dodge Bros. Company,
Detroit, Michigan,
Gentlemen:-
Some time ago, I secured one of
your Dodge Touring Cars, from your
San Antonio Agent, and drove it
through the country, adistance of some
300 miles, to Brownsville. In a little
over four months, I drove this car over
1000 miles and never had particle
of trouble with it.
i made trip into Mexico with this
lear, going from here to Victoria,
worst roads I have ever seen, max
ing the trip in 10 hours. There are
lamps, Mexico, over some of the
places in this road that with both
hind wheels locked the car will &c
down at a speed that is dangerous. Al
one time, in climbing through the
mountain pass that I ran on interme-
Idiate for over three hours, climbing
steadily all the time. This road is
very rough, having been, at one time
paved with large slabs of rock. This
rock has broken, making it very much
like flight of stairs.
| This trip covered something more
than 500 miles, but during the whole
trip the only breakage had was one
Ifan belt. AS I did not have another
run most of this without a fan. al
so mashed one fender and crushed
. belt and could not get one, had tt
several fins and one water pipe OF
| the raditor, MASKING the water pipe
fiat, but this did not even make ths
radiator leak. The cause of this wa:
running over COW while going a
about Is miles per hour. If the lights
lhad been set out in front like othel
, cars, they would surely have beer
broken, but as it was, it did not in
iure them in the least.
Il In the whole distance covered b!
this car, something like 4700 miles,
| did not touch the engine. or make an
adjustments of any kind, nor have
l ever had the valves ground. | don
think that this record can be beatel
by cars Of much higher price.
This is simply to let you know tina
the Dodge is taking hold in the val
9 tley, and everyone seems to be wei
q nleased with it. I am Dodge "fan'
:: myself. for if there had been any de
I fects in this car, it would surely hav'
shown up during this trip. AS it is
! this car runs lust as smoothly nov
as 1T did when it was first purchased
With best wishes for your success
