Our State needs more rural citizens who will open

NO REDUCTION
ON DODGE CARS

Official confirmation Of press dis
patches from Detroit, announcing that
there would be no reduction in the
price of Dodge Brothers motor cars,
has been received by Cahill and Com
pany, the Dodge Brothers dealer in
This city A telegram from C. w.
Mathes0n, acting general sales man
ager, TO the local dealer, reads:
Dodge Brothers policy has ever
been to give full value for the price
asked There will be no reduction in
the present prices Of Dodge Brothers
motor cars. Newspaper reports to
the contrary are absolutely untrue
Dodge Brothers announcement was
no surprise TO u.s." said John p. Ca
hill. In fact it is only a substantial
tion Of Dodge Brothers business prin-
ciples. At no time have they ever de-
manded an excess for their product
As in the past they will continue in
the future to demand a fair return
for their efforts.
The mere fict that the demand for
Dodge Brothers motor cars is still
greater than the supply, despite the
great expansion program at the fac
tory, has absolutely nothing to do
with the decision TO continue the
present prices. In marketing their
car Dodge Brothers have never made
point of price and will never sac
rifce the quality Of their product to
enter price competition"
