NEW DODGE CAR
is EASY RIDING

1t doesn't take an owner long
to detect the remarkable riding
qualities of the new Dodge Brothers
Motor Cars, according to II. c..
Jones, local manager for c. w. Nc
Gabe Dodge Brothers dealer.
The cars have been tried out now
by owners over every kind of GO
ing and the riding comfort has
been demonstrated thoroughly. 1t
is felt in both the front and rear
seats, regardless of position or
road conditions. There is no ques-
tioning the feeling of unusual com.
fort and the definite impression Of
stability and solidity which CON
tribute so materially to satisfaction
in driving.
The splendid riding comfort of
the new Dodge Brothers ears is
due largely to the type of rear
spring suspension employed. The
rear springs which are extremely
long, are underslung. Also, the
fact that the body has been length
ened and lowered tends to make the
car cling more firmly to the road.
