LARGE PRICE FOR
SECONDHAND DODGE

Much public discussion has been
devoted 10 the subject OF second hand
Dodge Brothers cars and their selling
value. Only a few months ago. John
Cheek. brothers OF the Nashville.
Tenn. dealer. sold his DODGE Brothers
roadster for $500, after having driven
1t more than $4,000 miles Curtis J,
Miller Dodge Brothers dealer in Neg
perez. Idaho. now comes with an even
more striking illustration OF the great
demand for this type OF car. The
Nezperce Herald speaks as follows of
the incident:
ION Tuesday Curtis Miller sold
Glenn Carey a Dodge Brothers car.
Glenn and Gail Carey. with Wilfred
Waters and George FOX departed at
once in the car for Wyoming. where
they expect to take up homesteads.
The circumstances leading up to this
sale are rather out of the ordinary
Mr. Carey decided all at once that
he wanted Dodge Brothers car and
no other. Curtis Miller, the local
dealer. had none in stock and could

It was to be replaced with the first
Dodge Brothers car that Mr.. Miller
could obtain. The deal was made.
Prof. McMahan had run his car Abs

and there was no discount off the
regular price-$Sso."
Mr.. Miller adds. with gentle touch
of irony. that This is the only way

TRUCK EQUIPMENT
IN LARGE DEMAND

Fred Paterson, president OF the
Detroit Truck Company, manufactu-
rers of the Tonfotd Truck Unit. for
converting Ford cars into one-ton
trucks, recently returned to Detroit
from a trip through the East, where
he has been establishing agencies for
the Tonford Unit.
Distributing centers have been
placed in several of the leading cities
east of Detroit. including New York,
Boston. Philadelphia, Pittsburg. Buff
falo and Cleveland. with agencies in
practically all the more important
cities OF the East
The company OF which Mr. Pater-
son is president is composed OF all
Detroit men, experienced in automo-
bile manufacturing. and had invested
enough capital in the Detroit Truck
COMPANY to insure the production of
IN, 600 Tonfords this year. However.
according to Mr.. Paterson. who does
not believe that this number will AIDE
quately meet the demand. as the Ton
ford has taken surprisingly we'll In
the East. facilities for the manufac-
have been provided.
There is a great demand for this
truck attachment. due to the fact
that retailers and merchants who need
trucks of one-ton capacity to take
care Of their deliveries may now do
so without paying the higher initial
cost for the ordinary one-ton truck.
and will also have advantage OF the
characteristic Ford "get-there" ability
and its economy Of operation.
A feature of this Tonford unit Is
It's extreme, sim liclty. 1t is easily
attached to any Ford-old or new

holes and boiling the two frames to-
gether. The Ford chassis Is not mu-
tilated in any way. instead Is
strengthened. and should the car be
desired again for pleasure. the Ton
