Dodge Brothers
Cars Number 400, 900
Remarkable Record of Produc-
ton Is Rolled Up in
Five Years
Five Years

When Dodge Brothers motor car
number 100000 rolled from the assem-
bly, line and swung around the factory
test track for final inspection before
delivery, it marked manufacturing
achievement of exceptional Importance
in the history of the motor car indus
try.
The achievement is unique because
100000 motor cars were produced and
marketed during the first five years of
operation, record in the automobile
industry.
Five years ago, on December A, 1914
to be exact, the first motor car bearing
the Dodge Brothers. name plate was
shipped to a bona tide purchaser. Il
was the first material evidence of
Dodge Brothers determination to de-
vote their wide manufacturing expert
ence to the production of complete
motor cars.
In 1914 Dodge Brothers works COW
cred approximately twenty acres OF
floor space, and even then was consid-
cred one of the large manufacturing
plants of America. Unit after unit has
been added until the original twenty
acres have grown to ninety, and the
number Of employees to more than
$4,000.
The first hundred thousand cars were
completed October 81, 1915; the second
on October 81, 1917, and the third on
December 13. 1913.
The various types of cars manufac-
tured by Dodge Brothers can be seen

Studebaker to Have
New Branch Home
Next May Will BE in Building
at Broadway and Fifty
fourth Street

The local Studebaker branch will
have a new home after May /, 1920.
This branch takes up quarters at Fifty
fourth Street and Broadway. The pres
ent quarters occupies five floors, but
the new place is larger, six stories.
There arc 10000 more square feet of
space in the new building.
The ground floor will be given over
entirely to showing new models and
will be furnished in keeping with the
present Studebaker car. The. second
floor will be devoted to a rebuilt car
display ROOM
On the third and fourth floors Of
fees will be established for the ex-
ecutive staff. The fifth and sixth
floors are to be stocked with a COM
plctc equipment of spare parts. This
building promises to be one of the
show places" Of Automobile Row.
mo expense will be spared to make
our new home perfect from every
Standpoint said L. c. Jones, head of
the branch. THE building will be ar
ranged so that the various DEPART
ments can work with efficiency, and
believe that the growth of business due
to the larger quarters will be even
greater than that of the last few
years.

Church, Truck Man,
Joins Mercer Group

H. d. Church, Packard's former chief
engineer of the truck division, has be-
come MERGERS vice president of truck
engineering.
f. S. Hare, president of Mercer, was
for three years with Packard, two as
president Of its greatest factory branch
and one as ice-presioent of the parent
company. Messrs Lansdale, Guyman
and Hunt. now with Mercer, are all for
mer Packard executives with the same
ideals as Mr.. Hare
Mr.. Church has been tinkering with
motor car design for twenty two years
and built his first complete car in 1901.
He is the son Of D. II. Church, who
was during his lifetime mechanical
superintendent of the Waltham Watch
Company and the designer Of it's orig
inal automatic watch building machin-
cry, said to have revolutionized the
watch making industry of this country.
Church at one former stage of his
long and varied experience was Mer-

Winter Top Supply

The shortage of closed Hudson and

Of course it was impossible 20 know
AT the time orders were placed that

because glass for the tops could not be
obtained by the manufacturers of the

The Hudson Motor Car Company is
now in position to supply touring car
models of the Essex and Hudson with
winter tops which make very neat
outfit. The winter top is convertible
to the touring car model when the
warmer weather comes in the spring.

instruction Book
Should Be Followed

"lnstruction books are really part
OF the sale of the car they go with"
says Waring Sherwood. advertising
manager of the Briscoc Motor Cor
poration, jackson, Mich. "The nstruc-
tion book, if read and followed, will
greatly increase the appreciation of
the owner of the car, and make a
booster Of an otherwise Indifferent
owner.
at does not follow that every one
who buys an automobile is personally
going to keep his car in running shape.
Especially is this true among the high
priced cars. But among cars of med
ium price, such as the BrieCoc, the
owner will take it upon himself to at
tend to the small adjustments neces-
sary and he will take pride in under
standing the mechanical features Of
his car. That is where the instruction
book plays an important part.
Take oiling, for instance. Once a
month the average car owner takes
his car to the garage man for q thor
ough oiing He would rather trust
this matter to a competent mechanic
than undertake the unpleasant task
himself. But there are bearings in
his car which need attention every 250
niles running. DN fclcIHCc 10 HIS
instruction book these arc easily To-
Gated, and these grease cups in the
Briscoe are readily accessible. The
oiling chart viii show also the cups
that need a twist or two every 800
miles and so on
"If the oiling instructions alone were
followed the instruction book would
we'll pay for itself in saving the owner
repair bills caused from dry bearings.
That is. in effect, the Importance Of
the instruction book to the automobile
manufacturer and dealer Mr.. Brown
finds by reading his instruction book
that the fan bearing should have grease
every 500 miles. Simple though it ap-
pears. the bearing will run hot if the
matter is neglected and serious dam
age Will result. Mr.. Brown in
ignorance will blame it on the car
rather than his own neglect.

New Nash Four to
Be at New York Show
Work Is Going Ahead on New
Plant to Build Ii at
Milwaukee

The curtain is to be raised on the
new Nash four at the New York Auto
mobile Show" says c. B. Warren, man
ger of the Warren Nash Motor Corpora
ton Except that the new product of
the Nash Motors Company is a four
cylinder car, and that it is to be built
in quantities, no details in advance OF
the actual showing of the car are forth
coming. 1t is predicted that the exhi-
btion of the new Nash four will be
one of the outstanding features of the
show.
"Mr. Nash and the engineering de-
partments Of the Nash Motors Company
are satisfied that the new car will make
fit companion to the Nash six, which
has earned for itself so favorable a rep
utation in the hands Of owners through
out the country. With the completion
of buildings and the installation of ma
chinery in the new Milwaukee plant now
being built, production of the new Nash
four will begin. 1t is likely that cars
will be in the hands of dealers in the
late summer"

Touring and Technical Info1
Record attendance
At Foreign ShO,vs

Peter S. Stecnstrup, manager of Gen
eral Motors Export who has just re-
turned from a visit to the Paris and
London automobile shows. says that al
though many new, handsome models
appeared at both shows. the subject of
pi oduction is another matter. Few
European manufacturers are able to
build as many as 1000 or 5000 cars
year with their present methods. and
most buyers arc unwilling to wait from
six to eight months for delivery
Great popular interest was displayed
at both shows, crowds packing the
salons every day. At Paris there were
A3S.55i paid admissions, as many as
$4,000 people viewing the cars in one
day. The attendance at London was
1897. greater by $4,000 than at the
last preceding show. in 1913.
