—— @ t &285 INSPECTIONS PER CAR b The faithfulness of performance so universally remarked in Dodge Brothers Motor Cars, is due, in no small part, to the thoroughness with which each unit is inspected during the process of manufacture and assembly. A trained staff of 1100 experts is employed in this work alone, and approximately 5,285 inspections are made on each car. So exacting and rigid are the standards applied to these inspections that the slightest variation, either in workmanship or material, is sufficient cause for immediate rejection. Dodgeßrothers are almost over-scrupulous in their constant aim to make each car as sound and perfect as is humanly possible. The price of the “Type A” Sedan la $1535.00 delivered. T. J.
