Fourth: The fact that Dodge
Brothers make it compulsory on the
part of the dealer I'd carry stock of
parts including all important parts
of the car, in spite of the fact that no
mechanical part of a Dodge Brothers
car has ever been broken in our ter

springs. THAT there are no better
parts made than Dodge parts, and

were in position to build strictly

points found by experience to be de-
sirable. There was no necessity for
haste; they had the factory and the
organization. and continued to make
parts for others until their own car
was fully developed and ready for

into the season of 1915 without
change of model.
