Good Will of an Ai The written and spoken word of American Army men,1 at home and abroad, has given 4 the very name of Dodge Brothers Motor Car a new and a'stirring significance. ???? THE VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA - Under the Leadership if GENERAL AND MRS. BALLINGTON BOOTH Dodge Automobile Company, Detroit. Michigan. , May 12, 1919. Gentlemen: Several times while traveling through France and Ger many I was inspired to exclaim, "I really must write to the Dodge Company, when I get home and tell them what I think of their car". Now, that I am home that intention has not weakened. I havo spent the whole of this winter in France and Germany amid the mud and rain and shell torn roads of the battle front, and later over the steep mountains and through the narrow gorges between the Luxenberg and the Rhine. General Pershing gave me for my use while I served the A. E. F. a Dodge car. With my little company of enter tainers I was enabled to go to many of the boys in isolated spots who had no transportation to send for me and would have gone without entertainments had I not had my own car. We traveled hundreds of miles, some times over al most impassible roads. We scaled mountains, where at every minute we feared our little car might balk at fur ther pressure. We nev^r had a moment's trouble. I can say most emphatically that the Dodge gave splendid ser vice and heild out where we had found other cars disabled by the road side. When my service with the Army was through and I had to return the car to them I felt as if I was parting with a personal friend and wished that it could run me down to Brest and be taken aboard the transport and sail for home with me. From what I have heard from many sources I believe that others have had just as successful experiences with the Dodge at the front as we have had. Believe me, Very' cordiallv yours, (Signed) MAUD B.
