An unusual service, in view of the
fact that it is intended primarily for
pets,ons who do business with q. COM

Ds III. Denmead Co, Dodge Brothers
dealers in this city, The service is
for the benefit OF those who buy used

cat market ourselves we will gladly
give this Information because we feel
that man who owns Dodge E'roth-
err car is a member of the family
regardless of whether he comes in
thru the front or back door, ard we
owe him certain definite courtesies.
Towing to the fact that Dodge
Brothers cars are not built in series
OF models and never have shown any
material change in appearance, it Is
often very difficult to determine just
how old the car is. Therefore it is
ea4ys to make gross MISREPRESENTATION
toll prospective purchasers. Many a
mSn has been told he is buying a
\ 1919 Dodge Brothers car when In re-
atty the car was built three or four
yeArp earlier. Inscriptions persons
occasionally resort to this practice
sdSliberately. but very often it IS done
thru error as persons outside our
own 9organizations have no accurate
& way of deciding this important point.
Dodge Brothers have supplied us
with complete records of production,
40 that we are enabled. thru GER
/ tain numbers on the car, to tell just
when It was built. Therefore it is
apparent that nobody is ever de-
cefved on this point when he buys
FROM our used car market. 1t is also
our policy to overhaul every car we
take ia before putting 1t back on the
market. We insist on having used
cars In good condition before they
