DODGE BRINGS /
OUT new line
TWo-Year Improvement
Plan Is Completed.
BY E. G. WILMER
President Dodge Bros, Inc.

In response to changing condi-
tons in the automotive industry, the
management of Dodge Brothers,
Inc, initiated nearly two years ago
a comprehensive program of devel-
opment and readjustment. Today
this program of major improvement
in both manufacturing facilities and
the companys product stands COM
plete. The period of transition sue
cessfully has been passed.
AT Forthcoming motor shows,
Dodge Brokers passenger cars in
three-price classiflcations and many
types Of Graham Brothers trucks
will be displayed. These products
are built to Dodge Brothers stand
ards; designed and manufactured
to attain superb performance and
efficiency, to E dependable and re-
liable.
To those az llitieS have beey'' ldd-
ed the attributes of smartneS lyle,
speed, luxury and comfort.
1t has been the undertaking pur-
pose of the Dodge organization,
through this transition, to incorpo-
rate into each of it's products a
generous measure of value as value
is rated by the motor buying pub
lie of 1928. We have taken time
enough, and money enough, to
make sure that our new products
couple performance and quality of
appointment with an attractive con-
tour.

more miles per hour than the preYi-
GUS Chevrolet engine.
New features include a new motor
enclosure which completely covers
the valve lifts and makes for a
quieter and cleaner engine, new
crankcase breathing system which
eliminates the leakage of engine
fumes through the body of the car;
new two-port exhaust; new alloy
constant clearance "invar strut" pis-
tons, new hydro-laminated camshaft
gears, improved mushroom valve
tappetS and larger camshaft.
An oil pump provides efficient
fabrication to all bearing surfaces;
while an AC oil filter and an AC air
cleaner protect all moving parts of
the engine from dirt and other for
eign matter, thus adding materially
to the life of the motor.
The new four wheel brakes rep
resent an outstanding achievement
of General Motors and Chevrolet
They are the non-locking
type, with positive brake linkage.
Each Brake Adjusted Easily
Each brake has an individual, cas-
lily accessible adjustment, while
stops" are provided at the wheels
to simplify the adjustment opera
ton. So accurately has the lever
age on the foot pedal been worked
out between the front and rear
brakes that maximum application of
the brakes is obtained with a very
slight pedal pressure.
Another important achievement in
the 1928 line is the new shock alb
sorber, Semi-elliptical springs which
run parallel to the frame and equal
"a per cent of the increased wheel
base of the car. The springs rep
resent still another innovation pio-
neered by Chevrolet engineers.
