Advances were made in engineering and body designs. The cars possess a greater degree of smoothness, silence and ease. They are more comfQrtable, more beautiful. Current prices - made possible, of course, by constan'tty mounting sales- are therefore not an obvious measure of value. Prices, in fact, have never told the full story of Dodge Brothers dependability and basic worth. But now, more than ever before, there is far mor~ value than the price suggests.
