Dodge Principle Holds Good.

IL is rather a remarkable thing in
the automobile world for a new conner
10 build his first car so well that he
does not have TO change It even slight
~ for O second years production. The
Dodge Brothers brought out their first
car last year. il was right then, and
il is continued i'm design for 1916.
The only real novelty in the Dodge
line this year is a neat detachable
upper structure, which renders the
open car convertible into a closed car
riage. and these are being turned out
rapidly at present.
The body is remarkable as an en-
cheering product, for il is all-steel,
being made in a wonderful electric
welding apparatus. All the body plates
are held in a gigantic jig furnished
with the necessary electrical connec-
tons and the passage Of the current
then spot YIELDS the panels along every
junction line, The result is body
in which strength and lightness are
well combined.
According 10 figures recently made
public in Wall Street relative 10 motor
car production during the year past,
Dodge Brothers were fourth in pro-
duction. This is regarded as a wonder
full achievement, as the car has been
or the market but one year
