Best Week For
Dodge Brothers
Dodge Brothers have again es-
tablished a new record for retail
deliveries.
During the week ending April
5th, 5,694 cars were placed in the
hands of buyers by Dodge Brothers
dealers. This exceeded the best pre-
vious week’s deliveries by more than
100 cars. The former record was
made the week of May 7th, 1923.
In making these figures public,
Dodge Brothers emphasize the fact
that they represent actual retail
deliveries to users, not factory pro-
duction. They have an accurate sys-
tem which gives them a weekly
check on the exact number of cars
in transit, in dealer’s stock and
weekly delheries to users. Deliveries
to users, they point out, rather than
production, is the real basis for
judging business conditions.
Not only was' the w?ek of April
5th a record breaker, according to
the factory’s official figures, but
the entire period dating from Dec-
ember 1, 1923’, when the production
of the present new types of Dodge
Brothers cars began reaching large
proportions, shows a tremendous
‘■'•'tin in retail deliveries over the
corresponding period of the previous
year The first quarter of 1924,
in fact, was 21 per cent greater
than the first quarter of 1923.
Every week of this quarter was
far ahead of the corresponding
week of the year before.
Despite the great increase In pro-
duction which makes these deliver-
ies possible—Dodge Brothers are
now building close to 1,000 ears
a da>— the stock of cars in deal-
ers' hands, a\ailable for delivery
to oustoiner«, is lower than ever
before during any corresponding
I*« rind since Dodge Brothers at-
tair* d a real volume of produc-
tion

because he had been paid but
4,000,000,000 marks from April to
