A Worldwide Good Name

not merely in America, but the wide world over.
 The first thought that follows, wher- ever they are seen, is the thought of car that is reliable. The name has come to suggest integ- rity-integrity in the car, and integ- rity in the manufacturing and busi- ness methods of the men who build it.
 Such good name is, of course, al- most priceless in value.
 Dodge Brothers are keenly alive to that fact.
 They realize that the permanence of their business rests upon the continu- ance of that good name. They realize that such name is perpetual promise to the people, which must be perpetually fulfilled by finer and finer product.
 As long as the name is attached to their motor car, Dodge Brothers may be depended upon to safeguard and protect it.
 As long as they build motor cars they will be the best motor cars Dodge Brothers can build.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-03-07

This business has not grown just be- cause the automobile business has grown.
 It has grown because there has grown ID in America, and all over the world, demand for the kind of motor car Dodge Brothers build.
 It has grown because the users of these cars have given Dodge Broth CTS good name as careful, conscien- tious manufacturers.
 The result is that wherever these two words-Dodge Brothers-are seen, they stand as symbol of exceptional motor car value.
 Even when they appear, all alone, on window, or wall, or a bulletin board, they instantly mean some thing special and significant to the passer-by.
 They call up picture of particular kind of motor car.
 Or, to be exact, particular kind of motor car workmanship, which peo- pie have come to associate with the name Dodge Brothers.
 The two words-Dodge Brothers are an advertisement in themselves.
