A TALK TO THE MAN WHO DRAWS THE CHEQUE. you are buying a Car, doe# it ■ y* ever etriko you that you pay f*r too much attention to tho outbid© appearance, the shape of the body—the colour of the < paint, "and so on? Does it ever ptrik© you that the part of a Car that coats most ofthe money to buy, and moat of the money •to run, is not th© bodj", but th© part you - pay the 'least . attention to when buying— THE CHASSIS? Let the ladies of your household select the shape, colour, and appearance of th* Car; -v they are better judges of these things than iyou are, but after they have made thtir selection, and declared- it to bo "THE SWEETEST THING THAT EVER WAS" 1 —then it is yottr turn. Go caScfully into the specification of that Car, afld see whether it conforms to the highest standards in every c ±fw detail—if it doesn't don't take it, but • buy » Car that is "SPECIFICATION PER-7. ,J FECT IM EVERY DETAIL." ,>|| FOR INSTANCE, WITH REGARD TO ' i-I THE MATTER OF 'J| BACK AXLES. 1 .

All of these terms are misleading... but, boiled =. down, all they really mean is "AXLES / ARE LIABLE TO BREAK." A full floating axle is one in which none ot th* weight r"~ of the Car comes on to the dming axi*, and -unless a Car answers absolutely tothi# description, it has an axlo which is liaWs. to givo way. on you, no matter *nder' whrt.;-y fancy name it i# described in tha \ lpgue, THE DODGE BROTHERS' f v *' MOTOR CAR r , v -*; is "SPECIFICATION PERFECT." \ iiv carefully through. every detail of its fication, and there is not on© it«m that fault can be found with.
