1)00,000. Of course none of us can
have an idea of just how much money
that is for the mind can not grasp such
large figures. These figures are not en-
tirely accurate but are based on very
reliable information and estimates.
About one-tenth of this gigantic ex-
penditure was made in the month of
December and the figures are placed
at five billion dollars. Surely that is
an immense bill, but it means an av-
erage of only $40 a person. There
may not be a Santa Claus but there
is a spirit of kinship and friendship
prevalent at Christmas time that hard-
ly knows its bounds and this expendi-
ture proves it, and Christmas is worth
it.

the Mono-piece Body has that inherent
rigidity which only single-piece construc-
tion can give. For the Mono-piece Body
is literally one piece. There is not a seam
from front to rear. Body sills, door open-
ings, window apertures—all are fashioned
from a single piece of metal.
There simply are no joints to squeak in
this amazing Mono-piece Body. Tens of
thousands of miles of hardest usage—
continuous travel over the roughest roads
—changing weather conditions—leave the
Dodge Brothers Six body as firm, as solid
and as free of structural noises as when
new. Perfect balance—exceptional rid-
ing steadiness—safety under every driving
circumstanc—are assured through the em-
ployment of Mono-piece Body design.

We have a special unfinished section of a

the reasons for its superior strength, its
perfect rigidity, and why it will not de-

performance, comfort, beauty and quality
are possible in a car of so low a price.
When you have compared these remark-

new Dodge Brothers Six—presented by
Walter P. Chrysler—is the most important
development in Dodge Brothers history.
