Stanley T. Kellogg
 Expects Increase In
 Sales of Hendersons

With a complete line of this years improved models of Henderson motor cycles on hand, Stanley T. Kellogg is offering a wonderful exhibition of the latest thing, in his saIesrooms at No. 615. State street. It really is a dis t1nct pleasure for the veteran motor cycl1st or the prospective, to pay a visit to the rooms and have MT. Kel- logg explain the many wonderful feat ures of his wares.
 Henderson machine contains sur pr1s1ng and distinctive features in con- Struct1On' for the comfort and pleasure or the riders. In addition to the many features which have made Henderson machines so popular in the past, the 1916 models have some positive ad- Vancements in design which will make still more pronounced the thorough ness and efficiency of the srveice which this machine delivers. The wonderful quick response to the throttle is delight to all motor cyclists, and surprise to the man who IS used to the comparative slug g4ShnesS of motors of less advanced design. The four cylinders deliver abundant power in an even Unbroken current There is no loss of momentum be- tween strokes and hence there is in creased pulling power, greater speed and absence of vibration. Greatest care has been given. every detail of design to produce the highest degree Of speed, snap and pulling power which is characteristic of Henderson motors.

CADILLAC CHASSIS DUPLICATE OF THAT AT
 PANAMA EXPOSITION

The Cadillac cut-open chassis at the auto show is a counterpart of the one
 displayed at the San Francisco Ex- position. where the company was awarded the Medal of Honor, the Ca dillac being the only car exhibited with a V-type motor.
 [ The chassis proved one of the most attractive features of the automobile division. It was widely commended because of it's unusual educational val ue, affording it does, an insight into the internal mechanism and it's ings-somethfn which the aver age motorist seldom has the oppor- tunfty to see so clearly demonstrated.

in some circles.
 But every one began talking about the coming car of the Dodge Broth CTS. That is, eVerey one but the Dodges themselves. The air around Detroit was filled with runors.t But there was never a word from those in timately concerned with the project. The gossip aroused a national curi- osity and oh that curiosity was built one of the most successful selling campaigns in the history of .Ameri- can merchandising.
 Originating in the reticence of Dodge Brothers to talk about them selves of their products it was taken advantage of by the sales and adver- Using Orga anization. formed to market the car, and before that first car ap- peared in December, 1914, thousands of dealers were clam bring for cars, and the possible output could have been sold many times over. So to- day Dodge Brothers are up among the leaders in the industry. In their first year as manufacturers they have made and sold more than 5,0OO,0O0 worth of motor cars, the most re- markable achievements in the history of this remarkable industry

Auto Show Powerful
 Influence For Good
 Says George H. Peck

s'The influence of the annual Bridgeport automobile show is farther reaching than is commonly believed or even admitted throughout the in dustry,''y stated G. H. Peck, of the Peck & Lines Co.,, distributors, in this territory for the Haynes, America s First Car, in answer to the inquiry of why the automobile and accessory manufacturers go to the enormous ex- pense of supporting the various auto mobile shows. 'sThe individual dealer is affected as much as is the single designer and manufacturer. In gen eraI way, the shows form a veritable clearing house for designers. They have a. very decided tendency to dic- tate the designs for the coming season, and they are accepted as authoritative even as are the creations of tn Paris ian designers of gowns.
 Since the automobile is no longer as a mere luxury, the busi- ness of selling an automobile is being reduced to a logical basis. Time was when all cars were sold more or less during mans enthusiasm of desire for a car.''

DODGE BROTHERS WHO STARTED
 IN AN OLD SHED NOW ARE SOLE
 OWNERS OF IMMENSE BUSINESS.

John F. is the elder by couple of years. They were both born in the
 eos at Niles, Mich. Both are big men; big physically and mentally
 It doesn't take much of an imagina-
 ton to picture them as Vikings. Z
 They are of Vermont stock, the elder Dodge having come from the rocky hills of that old state to Niles in the sos and there established a machine and blacksmith shop. John and Horace grew up in Niles and at tended school there, going from school into their fathers shop, where they learned the machinists trade. But they longed for a wider experience, and found it after time in Battle Creek, and still later at Port Huron. They were still in their twenties when they determined to go into business for themselves, and their first ven7 ture was in an old shed in Windsor, Ont, where they rebuilt machinery, particularly marine engines.
 In those days Detroit was just waking up. It was getting tired of the reputation of being the biggest village in the country The begin nings of the great motor car indus try were at hand. So in 1901 the Dodge boys moved across the Detroit River. They established themselves in a, loft in the old Boyden building and hung out the sign, Dodge S. ed eleven men and boys and they worked harder than any one in the plant. On the infrequent occasions when John Dodge ever speaks of him self he tells of working on Saturday until midnight and returning to work a. midnight on Sunday. It was a rare day, indeed, that both did not put in twenty hours. They did a general machining business and they made a living and put a few dollars in the bank.
 the automobile. business. And with it came a demand for skilled machine work. Dodge Brothers had a repu-l tations already for accuracy in ma chining, and the early motor car makers turned to them for parts. Their first order of ,consequence was for parts for the original OIdsmobiIe with the curved dash, and this really marked their entrance into the bus ton for quality work spread, and soon they were being flooded with or ders.
 They took more space in the build ing where they had started, but the automobile business expanded with it, so a small factory was built. In 1908 they bought a part of the land | on which their ebig plant stands in i Hamtramck, a suburb of Detroit, and 1 buiIf a big new factory They pros 1 pered amazingly, and won a name 1 for quality of workmanship unequal 1 led in the trade.
 Tn 1913 there came rumors that | they would abandon the parts bust ness and build a car of their own. | Success has gone to their heads" 1 was the scoffing remark handed about |

Today They Rank Among the First Five Largest Au- to1nobile Manufacturers in the World.

Of all the motor magnates, the men of the big achievement in the auto mobile world, none have. so hid their personality behind their product as Dodge Brothers-John F. and Horace E. On December 4, 1914, the first Dodge Brothers motor car ran out of the big plant at Detroit -oday Dodge Brothers rank among the first five manufacturers in production and the car is known around the world. In another year-weu, that is some thing no one connected with Dodge Brothers will talk about
 Dodge Brothers motor cars speak for themselves" is the slogan of the organization: and they have to, so far any inkling OF future plans or prospects is concerned
 In all the publicity which preceded the actual appearance of the, car late in 1914 and during the past year there has been no word on the per sona1ity of Dodge Brothers them selves. And yet there is no more m teresting story in the wno1e automo- bile world, filled as it is with TO- and prestige, than the tale of these two machinists who came up from the bench to the ownership of one of the greatest manufacturing institu- lions in the country. For they are its owners. It is the personal prop N Dodge and not a dollar of another mans money went into it's building. And its value is many millions of dol lars, for the public has bought more than $35, 5,000,0 900 of it's output since that first car was turned out one year ago.
 As the business is the property of Dodge Brothers alone, so. is the car the embodiment of theif~-oWn ideas; almost the work of their own, hands For they are vital part of the busi- ness Both ''are on the job'' in the plants as regularly as their work men. John F. is the organizer, Hor- ace F. is the motor expert. Both work as hard as any one in their em- ,p1oy. Both have handsome big of fees, but the place to find them is out in the plant. It is some job to find them, too, as that same plant covers more than forty-four acres in floor space, and new buildings under construction will bring the total to more than sixty acres
 When you do find them you find hopeless task, so far as getting in formation is coDcerned. Horace pos 1tfvely will not talk. He refers every one to John. And John says: 'rrhe public is not interested in us but in what we make. Write about the car, if you want to write about some thing" So there you are. But here also are the men.

OAKLAND CARS DEVELOPED, THEY
 DIDN'T HAPPEN
J. c. Mattice, Local Agent Describes Growth of
 Great Industry.

"Eights sizes and fOurs all in the Oakland line didn't just happen" said J. c. Mattice, local agent for Oakland cars whose exhibit is one of the auto show features at the Armory.
 ''The Oakland company went over the field and analysed the conditions. That analysis showed three classes of purchasers. They planned the line to fit these three classes which in the aggregate probably include most of the motor-buying public that it was possible for us to reach. So that made cylinders subservient to manufactur- ing principles and our merchandising analysis.
 ''The first six simply turned the trade upside down. Our first an nouncement on this car brought in not only a tremendous bunch of di- rect orders, but started the dealers coming so fast that we began imme- diately to line up the cream of the trade.
 'As for the big high-speed four, that--is the very foundation of the present Oakland popularity I be- Heve' that model has done more to hold the public to fours in general and to show them how speed can take the place of added cylinders in a wel1-regulated motor.
 'NThe appearance and rOOnineSs of this car, on the part of what three years ago would have cost $1,8OO, have been among the strongest sell ing characteristics.
 t"The few remaining dealers whom we needed, who did not come into the field when we announced our six, were bow1ed over when the eight came out. This is so much more than the ordinary eight in every way that I believe we may be forgiven for< being little bit proud of it.
 ttOver there at the Oakland factory we have always felt that a motorist had every right not only to big power but big luxury. The eight goes farther in the direction of fine appointment and generous' measure of comfort and beauty of line than any other Oakland we have put out.
 ftThe fact that the Oakland eight cylinder, motor is a highspeed model is one of the important things that brings it up to 73 horsepower. Yet, with this power it is an astonishingIy economical car on account of it's light weight It is easy on the oil tank, the tank and the tires.
 'I know through the response both from dealers and the public that this principle will prove an even greater success in the future than it is at the present time.''

Rumors that the .OIds Motor Works would curtai1 the production of it's overhead valve four-cyIinder model, because of the demand for it's new Eight" have been denied by officers of the company, say .Lyford & Ferris. general salesmen for these cars in Bridgeport.
 "As long as a demand for our four cylinder car exists" states Jay " Hall, general sales manager of the concern, i've shall continue to 1nanu- fracture it.''
