Dodge Cars Show
Much Improvement

/ Marked improvement in appear
ance and comfort is apparent in the
new line of Dodge Brothers Motor
Cars, in the production of which the
factory has been gathering momen'
tum since July /. Hundreds of deal.
ers are now supplied with display cars
of the new type, and from every
source the factory is receiving re-
ports of enthusiastic approval by the
public.
While the basic characteristics OF
the familiar Dodge Brothers cars OF
recent days are still present, there is
| an air of distinctiveness that surpasses
all previous efforts of this concern to
build moderately priced car of com
mendable appearance as well as quail
ity.
The wheelbase is a trifle longer, the
body is lower and the rear springs
changed to semi-elliptical type are
undressing, and increased from As to
55 inches in length.
All the features so popular with
the public today are embodied in the
design of the complete line, which in
cludes a touring car, roadster, coupe,
two types of sedan, and screen side
and panel side commercial cars of "a
ton capacity. All steel bodies-as first
introduced by Dodge Brothers in their
open passenger cars several years ago
are now used for alt types.
The effect of the longer and lower
body and longer wheelbase, combined
with the new lines and lower seats, is
very fine. According to dealers and
others who have driver the new cars,
the improvement in riding qualities is
no less pronounced than the improve
ment in general design. The reduce
ton in body height lowers the center
of gravity and thereby reduces side
sway, while rebound shocks are eff
fectively dissipated by the improved
front and rear springs. The car holds
the road easily and gracefully and af-
fords real riding comfort.
Another distinct new feature is the
lowers or ventilator Sits in the sides
of the hood panels. This change in
creases the flow of air through the
radiator and reduces the flow of hot
air to the floor boards, making sum-
mer driving most comfortable.
The rear seat and all upholstery of
the touring car are removable, af-
fording large space for loading lug
gage or other articles. Seats in all
types are deeper and lower, adding to
comfort and leg room.
The instrument board is greatly i'm
proved in appearance, with instru
grouped on raised panel and
with longer lighting switch lever, ia
control of the lights while
driving.
Head lamps are specially designed
to harmonic with the new body lines.
combination caution signal and tail
lamp is mounted rigidly on the license
plate bracket and conforms with the
of all states having
lighting regulations.
Brake pedal pads are larger and of
q design which makes for greater ease
and safety. The hand brake lever, /
like the shifting lever, is moved for
ward, giving more leg room and max
ing it easier to get in and out. A |

ers. New heading marks the radiator
shell and convenience OF the driver Ii
heightened by simpli1ed and beauti-
full gas and spark control. A cowl
ventilator assures cool comfort in
summer weather. Kick plates protect
the car from being married by toe and
heel in entrance or exit.
There is a windshield wiper: brak-
ing system of increased surety and
power; large stoutly built trunk that
rides a rack at the rear: nickel-plat-
ed guard bars, and a score or more
OF other attractive features.
All of the other Nash four-cyInder
models also have this new cow yen-
tilator; kick plates; more efficient
braking system, and new type gas and
spark control. In the open models
the doors now contain large pockets
for storing the curtains.
The most striking advancement in
body lines that characterizes the en-
tire six-cylinder Nash line are the
new and distinctive tenders. Both
front and rear tenders have far
deeper crown which gives them a
more massive appearance.
The front tenders have been ex-
tended forward and curved farther
down and in the front of the wheels.
The apron starts at the very front OF
the tenders and is gracefully draped
forward to meet the extreme front
end OF the frame side members. This
construction accentuates the beauty
of the car and also serves as great
er protection against splashing mud
and water. ~.
The rear tenders are extended far
Their back and farther down with
.-icularly graceful sweep to their
is~>~l. They also afford greater
protection and add materially to the
smart appearance of the car.
The new six sport model is worthy
of particular attention as 1t is finished
in a beautiful shade of Nash sky blue.
upholstered in gray Spanish leather
with every convenience In the way OF
equipment that a driver could desire.
The new Nash Six instrument board
is not only a work of beauty, but the
instruments are arranged in the most
convenient manner for the driver
The board itself has a dull satin mn
ish with three neatly arranged as
semblies under glass. The panels OF
glass are thoroughly illuminated by
an individual electric light which may
be turned on permanently or flashed
on at the drivers will
The six-cylinder line comprises
Five Passenger Touring, Sport Model,
Roadster, Five Passenger Sedan, -Four
Door Coupe, on the 121 in. wheel
base. Seven Passenger Sedan, Victoria
and Seven Passenger Touring, on the,

Nash Announces Complete
New Line of As and 6's

| With the announcement of a COM
I plete new line of four and six cylin-
der models Nash Motors again has
! provided convincing evidence OF It's
claims to value leadership. Though
Nash prices are still maintained at
the same low level, the fundamental
. construction and design of the cars
have undergone marked improve
ment; including new and outstanding
body creations: many appointments
and practical conveniences have also
been added and there is definite and
finer performance that is Immediately
apparent.
There are thirteen models in the
| new Nash line, open and closed cars,
some on the six cylinder chassis and
others on the four cylinder chassis.
The line thus offers the buyer a Wild
er range to choose from.
Particular interest is conferred upon
the new Victoria, the latest addition
to the Nash enclosed line. Swung
low on a full 127 inch wheel base. the
Victoria is a perfect picture OF motor
car grace.
A conspicuous feature is the smart
ly tilted windshield which broadens
the drivers area Of vision. And
equally distinctive is, the sweeping
square deck with its low built-in
trunk. Aluminium bars mounted on
the top of the trunk add to the cars
distinctive appearance.
Practically every convenience of
equipment comes with Victoria. There
is a rear-vision mirror, vase, heater,
taupe mohair upholstery, silk cur
tains, combination flush type vanity
and smoking set; and in addition the
Victoria as well as other models -,
the new six cylinder line Is equipped
with automatic windshield wiper, a
fine jeweled clock. low sweeping fem
ders, new instrument board with all
instruments under glass, rubber filled
running board and kick plates.
The passenger capacity of the VIC
toria is ample for four adults; and
there Is room for a child to sit be-
hind the drivers seat. The auxiliary
seat is broad and deep cushioned and
its convenient arm rest provides ad-
ditional comfort.
Another Nash model that is Great
ing quite sensation is the beautiful
big seven passenger sedan. It's wind
shield is also sloped with admirable
technique and its appointments are
just as complete and luxurious as
those of the Victoria.
The body design of this new Nash
sedan Is distinctively beautiful and
executed with dexterity and skill
that ranks with the finest of the most
expensive bodies built by custom
made and foreign cars. The auxiliary
seats are made with spiral spring con-
struction beautifully upholstered SO
that they have comfort approaching j.,
the front and rear cushions.
Among the new four cylinder Nash |
models the most interesting changes |

IF SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply Men
tho-Sulphur to an itching, burning or
broken out skin the itching stops and
healing begins, says noted skin spe-
cialist. This sulphur preparation,
made into a pleasant cold cream,
gives such a quick relief, even to fiery
eczema, that nothing has ever been
found TO take its place.
Because of its germ destroying
properties, it quickly subdues the Itch
ing, cools the irritation and heals the
eczema right up. leaving a clear,
smooth skin in place of ugly erup-
tons, rash, pimples or roughness.
You do not have to wait for i'm
provement. It quickly shows. You

Sulphur at any drug store
