INTRODUCE "AMERICA'S FASTEST FOUR" "I Several pages have turned recently 41 the history of Dodge Brothers, but what appears to be by all odds the most important, is being revealed today. The company has brought out what ft claims is the fastest four cylinder <£rs in America, entirely new in every tray. Prices range between $855 and *»75 levels so far below those at which Dodge Brothers cars have always sold that the success of the new ll»e seems assured from the start. Dodge Brothers have been a major factor in the industry since their first car was built in 1914. The car became so popular that within an imthinkably short time the company's sales mounted to third in the industry. A few weeks ago Dodge Bros, brought oift their remarkable new line of sixes and within a month had it established on a production basis equal to that of many large companies which have been making sixes for y*ars. But the recent announcement is probably the most remarkable that Dodge Brothers ever made -- the fastest fours in America--priced to sell in tremendous volume. "Coming from Dodge Brothers this announcement is particularly significant. Dodge Brothers' reputation has been built around tne dependability atibd rugged construction of its cars. -Speed has never been a factor in their sale. Nor will it be made a permanent issue in marekting the new cars, it is said, although it is obviously a feature upon which the public will focus much attention. Built with the distinctive beauty apd completeness of appointment that characterizes custom-built cars, the new line is of the type that should ••11 readily on appearance as well as performance. The fact that the cars are capable of going 25 miles on a gallon of gasoline, at average touring speed, should also add greatly to their popularity. Initial production will embrace three body types, a four-door sedan, -a cabriolet roadster and a coupe. Only the sedan is available for delivery now but within a very short time the roadster and coupe will be in dealers' hands. The new car appears to be as large as the former four cylinder Dodge. Interior body dimensions are particularly impressive and the seating accommodations are more than ample for comfort. Due to the smaller diameter of the wheels the cars fairly hug the ground, giving a- greater safety factor at the high speeds they are capable of making. The top of the sedan stands 70 3-8 inches above the ground, whereas the former sedan measured 73 25-32 in. Even with this reduction in height there is more head room in the new sedan. Hie distance from the back of the front seat to the pedals and to the steering wheel, the two dimensions which are probably most important to drivers, are the same as in the former very roomy Dodge sedan. The seats ane wide, soft and comfortable. The bodies are of unusually ragged construction, built of steel, staunchly reinforced to give great structural strength. The famous new and powerful "124" motor furnishes power for the new cars. This motor was developed by Dodge Brothers engineers after years of experimentation and is considered the best and most advanced four cylinder motor the company ever built. On the brake block test it develops 40 horsepower which is one horsepower for every 68 pounds of weight for the new sedan.

The light weight per horsepower shows up in flashy acceleration in traffic, in tremendous pulling power on the steepest hills and in a straightaway speed on the open highways that permits quick pulling away from all fours and many sixes. Combined with these important advantages is still another feature. The pear ratio has also been changed so that the engine speed is slower than before, permitting sustained higher speeds without vibration. . * Even when the new motor was put into the laiger line of cars--May 1st, it gave 20 per cent quicker acceleration, 16 per cent more power land a 20 per cent saving gasoline consumption. In the new and lighter cars these advantages are even more pronounced. The steering gear ratio of the new line is 13 to 1, making the cars exceptionally easy to handle in heavy traffic. They can be turned in a circle with a radius of only a trifle over 19 feet and their compact design permits parking in the smallest spaces. The steering knuckles are fitted with ball hearings and the wheel responds to the touch of a finger. The clutch is of the single plate type, 10 inches in diameter and built to engage the power positively and very smoothly. The pedal action is soft and gentle, permitting easier, quicker and smoother gear shifting. The sliding gear transmission with standard shift, recently adopted by Dodge Brothers, is used on the new cars. The main shaft is supported by two ball bearings and the gears on the countershaft operate on two large roller bearings. The de luxe sedan is upholstered in thick pile mohair, beautiful in appearance and possessing wearing qualities that will make it last as long as the car. The rear seat is unusually spacious and a foot rest is provided to add to riding comfort. Silk curtains are provided for the rear quar ter windows, giving the car an artistic appearance. Other equipment includes a nickeled robe rail, assist cords, vanity and smoking set, motometer, nickeled bumpers, front and rear, speedometer, ammeter, an oil gauge and automatic windshield wiper.
