MANY ADMIRE THE
IMPROVED SEDAN
Dodge Brothers Add Notable Refine
ments to Already Popular
Closed Car

Disc wheels, cord tires, the latest
custom windows and straight sweep
ing body lines are some of the fea-
lures of Dodge Brothers improved
sedan, which is now attracting much
attention at the salesrooms of Bur-
ton D Mann, Dodge Brothers dealer
here
In this unusually attractive car
Dodge Brothers seem to have consid-
cred the motorists every desire in
design and in comfort features.
Clearly chisled body pinesl which
flow squarely backward from the
cowl, strike the observer with their
simple beauty. The windows are
square cut in design and further en-
nance the straight, graceful sill
houtte of the body. Considerably
lower, the whole ensemble in its out
ward appearance Immediately i'm
presses one with its dignity and har-
mony of design.
The disc wheels are done in black
enamel with cream stripe and hide
from view the springs and other sn-
derneath parts. The disc wheels may
be removed with facility, and are
easily cleaned. The brilliant lustre
of the sedan's exterior finish is IA
miliar to all owners of Dodge Bro
theirs motor cars.
In the interior appointments, the
sedan leaves little to be desired. Del
icately striped mohair velvet is used
in upholstering the wide, commodi-
GUS rear seat. In front is deep,
wide, solid seat with rounded sides,
also trimmed in the striped material
The four doors, which permit easy
entrance and exit from any part OF
the sedan, are upholstered with plain
gray mohair velvet in soft fawn-
gray. Combined with \ the heavily
nickled handles by which the win
dows are easily raised or lowered
this adds richness of tone which car
hardlp be adequately described.
The windows in the doors and
! body are garnished with natura
| black walnut and are of polished
plate glass. The body of the car i
equipped with Yale locks, affordinf
additional protection against thefl
and insuring the safe-keeping o.
bundles and other articles whei
shopping. Handy side pockets, arm
rests and windshield cleaner ar
| other conveniences Of the improves
Dodge Brothers sedan.
Other notable refinements are tn
weather strips inside the doors, as al
extra protection in unpleasant wea
Their, anti-rattlers on the window
and a body heater connected wit
the exhaust.
