It is not pretty, to be sure, but it will convince any sensible man that all steel construe· tion is the only safe construction for a motor car body. That is why Dodge Brothers introduced the all steel body more than eleven years ago, and this year greatly improved and perfected it. In fact, Dodge Brothers are convinced that the day is not far off when wooden motor car bodies will be a curiosity. People will shudder at the thought of having ridden in them and will thank Dodge Brothers for the greater safety, durability- and beauty, too-of all steel construction. A steel body will stand up under impact~ that would crush the average body to bits. Steel cannot splinter. Steel cannot bum. Steel is an armor of protection on the crowded, hurrying highway. Outwardly, nearly all types of bodies ap· pear to be all steel. In reality, however, most of them are simply frames of wood covered by a metal shell. Dodge Brothers Motor Car bodies an steel through and through-steel rein· forced by steel-buttressed and braced by steel- even the frames and running boards are steel. And slender, stronger steel comer posts replace the customary bulky posts of wood, affording full, unhampered driving vision on all sides-a safety feature of . the first importance! Travel in safety! Powerful, quick-acti011 brakes, a chassis world-famous for ita sturdiness, and a body of steel - these explain the enviable reputation for safety enjoyed by Dodge Brothers Motor Car -and the enviaole leelinA of safety eojoyed by those who drive it.
