McCaughey, Racine Agent of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co.: "Gentlemen: I want to thank you for the splendid service rendered to our group of thirty people who went to Chicago yesterday over your line. The very courteous treatment extended to us, both at this and the other end of the line, is just the sort of service that makes a fellow want to take such trips often.

NORTH SHORE LINE ROOSEVELT ROAD / ---- Ne =" -- a Tr -- -- -- 7 1 \ 1-92 a, -- a BOOST DODGE OUTPUT Move is Made by Company to Meet Most Unusual Demand for Sales Ever Recorded With a record of 11 highly successful vears behind them, Dodge Brothers, Inc., are apparently determined to make 1926 outdo all previous sales achieve- ments. The pace set by this manufacturer during the first quarter and so far in April is discussed quite generally as one of the fine achievements of the in- dustry. From the seventh day of January, when prices. were reduced, in demand for Dodge Brothers Motor there has been a constant acceleration Cars and Graham Brothers Trucks-- Graham Brothers is a division of Dodge Brothers, Inc.--with the result that each of the first three months successively established a new record. "Our chief concern now is produc- tion," said E. G. Wilmer, president of Dodge Brothers, Inc. "We invested $10,000,000 in new buildings and equip- ment with the hope that for once, at least, Dodge Brothers Dealers would be given all the cars they needed. In 1925 it was estimated conservatively that they could have delivered 50,000 more cars had they been available. "Dealers from all parts of the coun- try are wiring for more cars. Our records show that there were on April 24 in the hands of dealers in the United States 26,921 new Dodge Bro- thers motor cars and Graham Brothers trucks against which these dealers held 17,568 signed, unfilled orders. Spread the difference, 9,353, over an organiza- tion of 3,300 dealers with their numer- ous selling connections and you begin to realize how small the stock really is. "As a matter of fact, deliveries right now are exceeding production. Dur- ing the week ending April 24, for ex- ample, our total shipments to dealers in the United States and Canada were 8,264 and our deliveries 9,566. We had expected to add materially to our stocks for several weeks vet before deliveries were made from surplus. "Every year heretofore thousands of persons who wanted Dodge Broth- ers cars have been compelled to take a second choice car, with the result that other companies have thrived on our overflow. This year, with all our determination to cut these second choices to the absolute minimum, his- tory seems destined to repeat itself, al- though, I am happy to say, to a much smaller extent than ever before."
