Standard Garage Company
Has Quick Sale of New.
Machines.
That the Dodge automobile is a
car OF unusual merit is evtnced by
the fact that the carload Of ma
chimes of this make which was un-
loaded at the Standard Garafe last
week have been sold and the mana
ger. Jhon B. Smith, Jr. has coll
lected for everyone OF these automo-
biles.
That the demand for this make Of

Their evinced by the fact that within
the next two weeks five carloads of
Dodge cars will be received at the
Standard Garage Company's plant.
All Of these cars will go to eager

awaiting for an opportunity to get a

1t has been a considerable scramble
among the automobile concerns of
West Virginia as to whom should be
the representative of the Dodge Au-
tomobile Company In the sales OF its
products and the fact that this honor
Company is very gratifying to the To-
cal concern.
The opinion Of Niran Bates Pope, of
Automobile Topics, is particularly
valuable because OF his complete
knowledge OF motor cars; also be-
cause he has no interest whatever in
Dodge Brothers car further than to
give his readers a fair and unbiased
opinion of it, is appropos and Is as
follows:
A Worthy Product.
The car really is worthy of Dodge
Brothers. Disappointing. those who
look for something freakish or overly
sensational, it is full grown car of
3O-35 horsepower. with four-cyltn-
der motor, 3s7-8x4 ID inch bore and
stroke, and wheel base OF ITO
inches. It sells for $7S5, and is avail
able in five passenger touring car
form and as q two-passenger road
ster.
Fnlly Equipped.
What DISTINGUISHES 1t and gives it
its character Is the way 1t is made,
and the degree to which the possf-
bflities OF a car at $785 have been
developed. In point Of commodious-
ness !. for the passengers. service,
sturdfness, and general appearance.
It is sold with everything that could
be asked for in the way OF equip
ment, including electric lighting and
starting. one-man top. and windshield.
There has been no skimping at one
place in order to afford hashy or
eye-catchtng feature at another. and
generous measure Is to be seen In
even the small details.
Roomy and Powerful.
WITH 20 effnrf frnn1 the
tonneau to the radiator and its we'll
knit, lowhung design, the car has
even greater breadth and room and
more OF the large car qualities than
the outside view indicates. In its
general aspect 1T at once Identifies
itself as a car of type that 50 large

for five people. with plenty of room
and plenty OF power, and built to run
for years.
So far as experience has shown that
recognized requirements can best be
met by what may be considered con-
yentfonal practice, the conventional
influence has prevailed. but whenever
Dodge Brothers methods of manufac-
ture and the effort toward an i'm
proved effect have suggested de-
partures and originality. there has
been no hesftancy. Along these lines
of development the car has evolved
much that is original. but nothing
that is extreme.
Has Perfect Stream-Line.
In form it meets the approval of
advocates. having q grace

The radiator housing is OF the straight
front type with rounded top and edges
neatly smoothed of, blending into the
straight tapered hood, The ardiator
core is MOUNTED in the housing IN
such way that it is protected from
all strain and it's only function is

from radiator troubles. The cowl
