WRIGHT RENSSELAER, INDIANA

Prices of Dodge Cars NOT Reduced Official confirmation of press dispatches from Detroit, announcing that there would be no. reduction tn the price of Dodge Brothers Motor Cars, has been received by W. I. HOOVER & SON, 'the Dodge Brothers dealers In this cdty. A telegram from C. W. Matheson, acting general sales manager, to the local dealer, says: “Dodge Brothers policy has ever been to give full value for the price asked. There will be no reduction in the present price of Dodge Brothers motor cars. Newspaper reports to the contrary are absolutely untrue." “Dodge Brothers announcement was no surprise to us," said W. I. Hoover. “In fact, it is only substantiation of the Dodge Brothers business principles. At no time have they evier demanded an excess amount for their product. As in the past they will continue In the future to demand a fair return for their efforts. i “The mere fact that the demand for bodge Brothers motor cars Is still greater than the supply, despite the great expansion program at the factory, has absolutely nothing to do with the decision to continue the present prices. In marketing their car Dodge Brothers have never made a point of price and will never sacrifice the quality of their product to enter price competition." W. I. Hoover & Son Agency Rensselaer, Indiana
