A Great Loss and a Greater Gain
Dodge Brothers business has round
ed out twenty-two months of exist
ence by distributing to owners more
than one hundred thousand cars.
Price-concessions on this car are rarely
asked, and never given with Dodge
Brothers consent or to their knowledge.
You can therefore figure accurately
the amount invested by the public
in Dodge Brothers cars, by multiplying
the output by the retail selling price.
One hundred thousand cars at $785
per car means a sales-total in less than
two years' time of $78,500,000 or,
with freight-cost added, considerably
more than $80,000,000.
There have been no bursts of speed in
the up-building of this great business.
At no time has there been even an at
tempt at stimulation of sales or of
production.
Never for a single day has production
been speeded up for the sake of attain
ing a total.
On the contrary, it has been held down
every day within the limits of close,
careful, conscientious manufacturing.
Both production and sales have been
stable, steady and spontaneous scru
pulous care in the one, producing huge
volume in the other.
At this moment, as at every other
period, although producing a large

volume every day, Dodge Brothers are
"losing business" by their policy of
keeping production within the bounds
of continuous betterment.
In that sense they have doubtless suf
fered a great loss in the past and will
endure a great loss in the future.
But over against this great loss is an
infinitely greater gain.
The people of the United States have
implicit faith in the integrity of Dodge
Brothers manufacturing methods.
One hundred thousand owners or
rather, one hundred thousand families
are practically of one mind concerning
the car and the men who make it.
This business and its product are
blessed with a friendship probably with
out parallel in the history of American
manufacturing.
Fresh from the factory, or sold at
second-hand, from one end of the
nation to the other, the car has special
value and a special reputation, because
of the name it bears.
Because of the name it bears, you may
be sure that the principle behind the
car will never be changed a hair's
breadth.
Dodge Brothers have only one idea in
the upbuilding of their business.
That idea is to build so soundly and so
well that the good will which they have
won will grow and endure forever.
