DODGE BROTHERS ARE
FOURTH IN PRODUCTION
Report of the Business Done by
Motor Car Companies Ranks
Them Well Up.

According to Automobile Topics, a
trade authority. recent figures sub
mitted to Wall Street interests with
regard to the volume of business
done by the various motor car COM
panies during the first nine months
of 1915, put Dodge Brothers in fourth
place.
Dodge Brothers have no dealings
with the financiers. as the business
is owned entirely by the brothers,
John F. and Horace E., but the fig
ures were submitted by another COM
pany which placed itself considerably
further down in the list.
The accomplishment of Dodge
Brothers in one year of starting the
manufacture of motor cars and then
jumping into fourth place in the ma
ton is regarded as the most amazing
performance in the industry, which
has always been full of surprises.
No announcement on production
plans for next year has been
made by Dodge Brothers. but it
is known that several new buildings
are being rushed to completion anC
that the total floor space of the plant
will total more than 60 acres wher
these new buildings are occupied.
