Nine- ty-four per cent of the cars manu- factured by this company are still in operation, day in, day out, in all parts of the country. One of the most notable exaraples of the long life and durability of Dodge Brothers cars is found in Car No. 12, the first Dodge Brothers car shipped to the Pacific Coast arriving there in December, 1914. No. 12 was displayed in San Francisco and Oak- land, used as a demonstrator and eventually sold. Recently it wus in the possession of a rancher near Santa Rosa, who used it in his daily work. He refused to sell it outright, but finally traded it in on a new car. At the present time it has been rum ap- proximately 175,000 miles. From Walnut Cove, N. C., comes word that car No. 5 is running satis- factorily as a service car for the Davis Repair company. Mr. Davis writes, "The motor still has in it the original pistons and bearings that were in- stalled at the factory nine years ago. No. 5 has been in service every day." There was recently displayed in a parade in Manhattan, Kansas, a Dodge Brothers car sold: in December, 1914. Its speedometer now shows a mileage of 224,000 miles, and the car is in constant daily use. Carl Schafer, of Madison, Wis., is an enthusiastic Dodge Brothers owner. Mr. Schafer purchased a used Dodge Jrothers car in September 1916, since states next year in the same car. Dodge Brothers records cite numer- ous instances, such as the above, of the durability and unusually long life l of their cars. of Interest Only | to Our Advertisers A full-page ad makes an impression on the reader's mind that lasts a long time.

PATENT OFFIC" Motor Car Painting Revolutionized The system of painting automobiles has not kept pace with their development and improvement. Automobiles are being painted by the same method used 80 years ago by coach makers and it can readily be seen the old paint system will not stand up under present conditions, for the motor car is subjected to harder usage than the coach or carriage ever was. Furthermore under the old system it was neces- sary to lay the automobile up from 3 to 6 weeks for a complete paint job. We paint by brush in from 3 to 6 days by the Lyk-Glass auto renewal system, a patented process used from coast to coast. Investigate and be assured of a superior class of motor car painting. We have the finest mechanics and solicit the patronage of those desiring an efficient paint job. MERCER & COMPANY, Inc. FRANK C.
