A High Standard Made Higher Still

Were they SO disposed, Dodge
brothers could not lower the quality of
this car.
They are no longer free agents, be-
cause public opinion has established a
standard for everything bearing their
name.
They dare not fall below the high
estimate that has been formed of them
rs motor car manufacturers.
The American people are quick to
detect deterioration.
And what Is much more important
they expect the constant Improvement
of any product In which they repose
complete confidence.
They would be slower to forgive n
fault In any car Dodge Brothers might
build, than In one they esteemed less
highly.
Every dealer in Dodge brothers cars
knows that the customers, who come to
him. come with the highest possible
expectations.
He knows that the thing he is selling
primarily is Dodge Brothers word and
their good name.
He knows that he Is not merely deal.

an for Dodge Brothers reputation.
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1917-04-28

Naturally, this knowledge of what Is
expected by the buyer breeds deep
sense Of responsibility.
In the Works, IL has the effect of
inspiring Dodge brothers TO a constant
personal oversight of all of the manu-
featuring operations.
Their own lifelong zeal for good
workmanship Is sharpened and stimu-
lated by realization of what tie public
expects from them.
The entire Institution is honestly
permeated with the idea that quality
and performance are paramount and
all-impOrtant.
And SO standard which was natur-
ally high, has been made higher still,
by the bestOwal of complete confidence
on the part of the public.
1t Is mutual contract which offers
constant inspiration to the manufuctur.
er and constant insurance to the
customer.
With the interests of buyer and seller
so closely knit together, the result.
everywhere, is what might have been
expected.
1t Is impossible for Dodge Brothers,
with all their great facilities, to build
enough motor cars to satisfy the public.
