Dodge Brothros’ remarkable in?
crease in production and sales con.
ttnues without interruption. an of-
ficial statement from the factory dis-
closes.
Actual retail deliveries by dealers
during February were within a. few
cars of 15.000. which is an increase
of 23.1 per cent. over deliveries in
February. 1924.
Every week in February showed
a. material increase over the proced-
ing week and the first work of
March likewise (Exceeded the last
week of February.
While dealers' stocks are excep—
tionally low, the factory is turning
out cars in such volume that. it is
hoped to meet practically the en-
tire current demand. Production
for the first week of March was over
1000 cars a day.
Dodge. Brothers stiles for l924 in-
creased more than 25 per cent over
1923. in the. face of an it per cent.
decline in the industry as A Whole.
These facts. considered with the
present continued increase. be-
speak a most gratifying condition
