Air fluff is also a member of the bear a of directors of Dodge Brothers. ‘‘The best evidence, of course, is the quality of Dodge Brother,s’ present product and the pronounced satisfaction •if our one and a quarter mil don owners. Additional strong proof is supplied by the; general inclination of the industry toward the same practice. 1 nave heard moie discussion on the subject during the last six months than ever before, and it has been particularly aytive since our advertisement, •Constantly Improved—But No Yearly Models’ appeared on bulletin boards and in magazines and newspapers al over the country. ‘■The public, which apparently had not previously given the subject much thought, was quick to sense the significance of such a policy, and comments from a thousand and one sources must have drifted back to other .manufacturers. Our advertisement appeared just before the annual battery of new model announcements was turned loose, and naturally ’the contrast between Dodge Brothers’ policy and 'the general practice was made doubly vivid. “But. even so, it was an inevitable deve opiiient of the near future. John and Horace Dodge first thought of it ten years ago, when they began building their own car, and it is a surprise to me, in view of its many obvious advantages, that it has not been more generally adopted long since. “Even the layman can understand how much better, it is for the engineering department, for example, to lie concentrating all its time and thought on Hu* ipfinpmAnt. r*f rm/=» (*hns«;is finrl one
fundamental design, than to experiment continuously with ‘something new’ for next year.’ It must also he apparent even to the outsider that constant changing I from one design to another costs a tiememlous amount of moijey. Dies I and experimental work can easily entail an expenditure of several millions of dollars, and if this has to be done every year there is only one way to get the money back. That is by passing the charge along to the buyer of the car. Dodge Brothers save these costs, and as a result are able to give buyers more for their money. “Then there is always the factor of depreciation. If you buy a car in July and your manufacturer brings out an entirely different car in August, what happens to the .valuation on you.r car? “ ‘Oh. that’s a last year’s model,.’ is exactly what you get wherever you propose to sell it. And the valuations slump accordingly.
“So the buyer loses in two ways. He pays the extra price for the support of the model-a-year pohey, and he also pays again when his 1 car is relegated into obsolescence by the appearance of a new model. “Little wonder the clamor for standardisation is being taken up by the rank and file of' the buying public. “Everyone concedes that the resale value of Dodge Brothers’ motor car is unusuallv high. Used car dealers are always anxious to have them in stock. There are times when they cannot be bought. “This is largely due. of course, to the car’s exceptional stamina. It has the reputation of giving good service over a long period of years. But it is also true that people know it will not be radically different to-morrow Mian it is to-dav. and therefore they buy without fear of an abnormal overdepreciation. “And the man who buys a new Dodge Brothers car buys with the same assurance. He can drive it lor years end stiU retain the pride of ownership that is so well known and so universal in the great Ded.ee Brothers f'ami'v.”
