Dodge Brothers
Announcement Has
Startled World

p Few announcements in the business
world have occasioned mere wide
spread surprise and comment than
the one published Wednesday by
Dodge Brothers. Inc, stating simply
that substantial price reductions
would be made public on January 7th,
although actually in effect Dec. Is.
1t was explained that the full amount
OF the reductions would be refunded
to al! persons buying Dodge Brothers
cars between December 18th and Jan
uary 7th.
Robert c. Graham. newly appoint
ed vice president and general sales
manager Of Dodge Brothers, Inc,
today supplemented the announce
ment with the following statement:
"Telegrams are pouring in from
every section Of the world. Dealers
report the most intense enthusiasm

"They know that these reductions
would have been impossible without

that is now assured. We have Just
completed a $l0,0OO,OO0 expansion in

will nearly double our capacity.
Although facilities. have been
greatly increased every year since

North Dakota Has
Enviable Position
in Nation
Continued from mace one)

in motion after the first Of the year,
the entire Mississippi valley will be
given the true story Of North Dakota
and North Dakota's possibilities.
Coupled with this general advertis-
ing campaign will be 4 determined
effort TO bring about intensive fol-
!ow-up work for particular sections.
The Greater North Oak ota plan has
provided the state with Il common
cause Of cndeavor and has brought
to It's support the interest and coop
Grafton of thousands Of the state
for"ard looking citizens.
While North Dakota suffered ii,Lle
from inflated land values following
the war, the greatest damage was
done BY the campaign to "Grow
Wheat and Help Win the War;" North
Dakota farmers responded, with the
result that the trend toward diversi-
ficatiOn was arrested and low yields
and Improbable crops for Il time
were nhe penalty paid for the con
, tinuance Of the one-crop system.
Greater DiversificatiOn
Restrained for 4 period, the d.
vcrsification trend is now overwhe ! m.
irg and copctent observers declare
tnaL more progress toward miGeL
farming has been made during the
past year than in any previous five
years in history.
| Watch the Dakota farmers tumbit
back into the wheat game" was the
cry that went forth at the end 0,
1924 when i bumper crop of wheat
was harvested and sold at high price.
due to the world shortage. But tn
Dakota farmers had learned thei
lessons. They took their whea
money and bought cows, hogs ant
sheep. Thev increased their acre
ages of alfalfa, sweet clover am
corn. They built fences, barns ane
silos.
During the past year, hogs an,
sheep increased 20 per cent in mum
Ler according to conservative esti
mates; beef cattle per cent an,
dairy production 10 per cent. High
er prevailing prices for these pro
ducts at the present time in combina
tion with the increased quantit!
have resulted in on immense rcy"rr
to North Dakota farmers more thai
.$10O, 900 ,O00--from sources which j
the prewar period were consjder~
, negligible. Besides increasing 2
: per cent in number, hogs have ad
vanced so per cent in market price
The Bismarck tribune., 1925-12-26

The sweet clover acreage has IN
creased from 1868 in 1920 t" :nGl,-
2'I IN 1928. These are i feNH StrawS
showing the way the wind is blow
ing on North Dakota farms.
+ Great Purchasing Power
Since farmers are the largest pur-
chaSerS. both business and agrlcul-
turai conditions can be measured ac-
curGtcly in this state by the number
Of autonoiie sales. During the last
three months of 1925. the total sales
Of new automobiles and trucks were
$40. during the same period in 1924.
the total was $500, and from Oct.
aggregated i,2O7 according 10 the
records of the motor vehicle regis
trar's office in Bismarck:
business men confidently antici-
pate that the delayed marketing Of
grain will extend the usual fall rush
OF business into the ordinarily quiet
months Of January and February.
Their belief is confirmed by the
enormous volume Of Christmas busi-
ness which was transacted. Further
examination Of the automobile sales
report lends additional confirmation.
Sales for the month of December,
1923, were 7s, for December, 1924.
, they were 307, and for the first ~
days Of December, 1925, the total
was 4l6. the December increase over
1924 being much greater on per-
centagc basis than the increase for
the three month period.
Farm imple ement concerns report
remarkable volume Of business in all
sections of the state during the past
year, always an accurate barometer
of farm prosperity. This, coupled
with equally Satisfactory conditions
in the retail lumber business, offer
concrete evidence as to why trade
organizations publishing business
maps of the United States, place
North Dakota among the high-rank
ing states for business conditions and
prospects.
Total Crop Values
Using the most authentic informa-
! tion available on production and
average market prices, and includ-
ing estimated value Of products con-
sumed on the farms. the following
total is secured for North Dakota's
1925 agricultural production:
