Greater Year to Come

With sales in excess of 100000 cars, Dodge Brothers, Inc.
have just completed the greatest year in their history.
Had it been possible to produce cars in sufficient num-
bers, their increase over 1924 would have been even
more substantial
This year the production problem has been mastered.
A $10yOO0O00 expansion program stands comp1eted-and
the enormous output of 1925 will be nearly doubled!
Production on this stupendous scale makes possible the
astounding low prices announced January 9TH.
1t makes them possible even though the car is better
today than ever before. These are but a few of the vital
TeflneTnentS-
Rich and attractive new coors.
Absolute snaoothness Of engine operation.
Anews snap and elasticity cooperation throughout
Smart and stylish new body lines.
Complete vision from every angle of the sturdy
aHsteel body.
Dodge Brothers Motor Car has always been an excep-
tional product. With these refnenents, at these new
prices, it is without question the greatest value Dodge
Brothers have ever offered.

It is believed that an extract from
a letter received by Paul d. Sargent.
chief engineer of the state highway
commission, may be of interest.
The writer has for several years
been an extensive user Of the high
ways. and. as he states in his letter.
Is particularly interested in farm to
market or third class highways.
The observations made If this let
ter confirm the judgment of the
state highway commission. that the
highway program as now being car
rieed on is fairly well balanced and
that all classes Of highway construc-
tioin are receiving their fair share of
attention.
The extract Of the letter is as fol-
lows:
"a one who travels the Maine
highways extensively, covering at
least $4,000 miles each year. ! want
to offer word of congratulation to
you and your associates on the
gress made in Maine during the past
few years both as to construction and
maintenance.
AS you know, I have been parti-
cularly interested in third class or
Farm to Market development, but
it now appears that all kinds of roads
afe being improved at a rate that
should be source OF qualification
and pride to all our vitiZens.
Il do not know whether this should
be addressed to you or to the high
way commission, but certainly some
one deserves great credit for the
good work done, for keeping our
highway problem away from politics
and for getting q splendid return for
the amount of funds available"
