DODGEC BROTHERSit APTOINT DEALUER I arv in Alotor Company Will Sell l'opular Detroit ('at in This Territory. A mlounment is mtade by Dodge trot hers, Iet reit, of the appoin ttitmnt of' 'I' e liartvin Alotor Co., as tneir dealer in this city. The remaikahle popularity of the I hdge Brotheirs MAtor Car has caused automobIle me all over the couitry t.) tile f oir sales privileges, but Dodge Brother-; policy of qualty in "ellin' lIethod)is, as Well as quality in the car, requires a painstaking in vestigation inl every instance before a ,Velction in ili~ade. In Alt. 11 arvin IP'itm Brothers have a itlcr oil wtin' thy believe they ma: .C!y i't r 6-: 1rogressiveness and iir busi met Ihods.~ I prompt n11mainner in which Dodge Bro-t hers assuned one of the foremost poit ions in the a utomnobile industry is rei'gd;1lleld as a striking testimonial to the h igh regard in which their name was bebli by tl6 public cen before they ma rkete(d a motor cat. bearing Iis nalme. 1'rior to tnt tise Dodge Bro tilers had built the vital parts for more than a half million other cars, estab iliing a reputation for thoroughn!ess and mechaniical skil. This reputation has been more than uplheld. It is said of Dodge Brothers in explanation of their unusual sue cess, that they slare no money or ef fort inl building a car to suit their par ticular ideas of thoroughness inl manu fact ture. Wh:it their ideas on this sub .ect mean to the purchaser of their product may be imagined from the saet that they have a staif of more tIhan 700 inspectors who do nothing hut check imp on workmanship in the v\arious processes of nmnufacture. In addition there are several large de partiments devoted entirely to similar work, sneh as the physical and chem ical Iahoratories where raw and finish ed materials -ire subjected to tests so thorougihi as to leave no doubt of the quality. It. is significant that the first Dodge 13rotheis Alotor. Car ever bu ilt was imlade up1 exactly as a car is made in the ireg ur line of production. Or <iinarily the ' ex perimentaIll joh," as the first car. is known, is built of casting~s because of the great time and expenlse involved in preparing dies for forg imes. Dodge Brothers, however, de eided that theii' experimental car soiuld he Ike the car they expec tedl to bvild, in ever ydetail, so that neith r they r01' the pul)lie ilight he "1f'ool IDG&EROTHE MJTDR CAR will be sold in this city by -IARVIN MOTOR C Manning, S. C. a~ orrrrrr~n-rmrr (r, ed." So t'iey spent almost a year in making these (lies aid preparaing otherwise for a completely manufact ured car. - As a result, when the car was built they knew what they had and what they and the public might expect of their products. A sa furth er result this first car, although only an "experimental job," is still in daily service on the hardest runs-experi menting unlder all sorts of road conldi tions-a-ml with a record of more than 150,000 miles behind it. This is but an illustration of the many things unique in the history of Dodge Bro thers as manufalturers. Public approval of their principles o fthoro'.hness is seen in the rapid expansion of Dodge Brothers Works made necessary by public demand. In December, 1914, it was a plant of less than 20 acres. Today Dodge Broth ets Works covers 100 acres of floor space.-Adv. DENBY ISSUES CALL Washingtoti, Oct. 3.-Secretary Deiby issued a call for volunteers in the naval reserve forces -reduced from 200,000 to barely 5,000 by his recent order disenrolling all mem bers of four service classes not on active duty.
