A BRIEF HISTORY OF A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT Brothers undertook an important I THE Spring of 1925 Dodge and gigantic task -- which is now complete. Since its inception in 1914 Dodge Brothers had specialized exclusively in a four-cylinder product. During thir- teen years more than two million units roduct were sold to America of that and to the world. It is unnecessary here to comment on the singular merits of that famous Four. It was honored on the battlefields of war, and achieved equal distinction on yways of peace. the highways and Its long life and complete depend- ability had become an adage. Meanwhile, however, times were changing and tastes were changing with them. While still as important as ever, de- pendability alone was no longer sufficient. Greater speed and comfort, more style and luxury were the growing prepos- sessions of the hour. Two years ago Dodge Brothers lap- praised its task and embarked upon a program designed to place it and its Dealer Organization in a position on 1, 1928, second to none in Janua the industry. The astonishing results of this great achievement are now known to the world. It is doubtful if industrial annals can cite, over a similar period, an achieve- ment so outstanding. A smart, swift, low - priced and im- mensely popular quality Four has re- placed its famous predecessor. The Senior Six, outstanding in per- formance, quality and luxurious appointment, has been created. Graham Brothers Trucks and Motor passenger and Coaches (formerly exclusively Fours) have been supplemented by sixes. Fifty new types have been added. The ca- pacities are broadened to range from one-half ton to two-ton, all resulting in the most complete and capable line of work cars known, and with prices ranging from $670 to $4290. Then Thursday came The Victory--a Six for $1045 and up--the most spectacu- lar engineering achievement of the decade. These accomplishments,one following the other in steady progression, have now provided Dodge Brothers Dealers throughout the world with the most diversified and comprehensive line of commercial vehicles ever manufactured and sold by a single organization. For every need the progressive tomorrow. Dodge Brothers and purse there is now a Dodge Brothers vehicle built dependably and in full recognition of ideals of today and Adhering rigidly to the sound and honorable standards of a great past, have met the chal- lenge of a still more exacting future.

Detroit Tune in for Dodge Brothers Radio Program every T hursday night 7 to 7:30 (Central Time) NBC Red Network DoDGE BROTHERS, INC. "Dick W hittington" Is Next Offering at Children's Theater Two highly popular plays will make up the bill for the next Children's theater production, to be given Feb. 4 and 11 at the Haven school theater. "Dick Whittington," a pantomime, by Moritz Jagendorf, will be played entirely by children from the dramatic department of the Miller school, di- rected by Miss Evelyn Brown. "The Three Spinners," a play by Florence Kiper Frank, will be given by a cast chosen from the Thalian Dramatic club of the School of Speech and the dramatic department of the Haven upper and lower schools, directed by Miss Winifred Ward. The story of the boy for whom the bells of London rang out, "Turn again, Whittington, thrice lord mayor of Lon- don," has always been a favorite with children, and this elaborate pantomime, which has been set to music, tells the story with all the interest and with more detail than any other version which could be found. There is, be- sides, much good comedy in it, some clever dancing, and many and varied characters. The second and longer part of the program will be a delightful play based on the old tale of the girl who must spin a great room full of flax into cloth in one night. The story is a parallel of "Rumpelstiltskin" in which the girl --Joyzelle is her name--is saved by the three weird spinners. Following the policy of the Chil- dren's theater, this second production will be a marked contrast to "The Make-Believe Gentleman," its first play, in that its appeal is to children's inherent love for fairy tale lore. Girls' Athletic Program Popular at High School According to Miss Fogg, head of the girls' gymnasium department at New Trier High school, the new sys- tem of girls' basketball is working out splendidly. The practice teams play according to schedule, and when the schedule has been completed class teams will be chosen. It is expected that the interclass tournament for first, second, and third teams will begin about the second week in February. Adviser room meets in swimming will also start about the second week in February. Meets will not, however, be held until after the start of the second semester. Only those girls who have been in the tank at least eight times before the adviser room meets are eligible to try out. From those placing in these class meets, teams will be chosen for those to participate in the inter-class meets.
