■ -■ ■ I ■■ How to read Percentages Were Dodge Brothers to sell 100 motor cars one year and 200 motor cars the next, they could truthfully announce that their sales had increased 100% in a single year. Yet they would only have sold 300 motor cars in all. In other words, PERCENTAGE of annual gain is not conclusive. The NUMBER of cars sold is the true test. That Dodge Brothers sales in 1926 showed an increase of 27.6'7° over 1925 is not the MAJOR fact to consider —striking as it is. But that Dodge Brothers sold 259,967 cars in 1925, and then in 1926 sold 331,764 — a gain of 71,797 sales in twelve months—tells a story of growth that stands out like a tower on the skyline of the industry.
