Dodge Brothers cars have had ihe distinction of being scout cars and convovs for tho American army trains in both Mexico and France, and are the familiar all-duty ears now serving serv-ing with the army in all sections of this country and Furope. These exceptional American oars are now enjoying immense popularity in Salt Lake and the local territory, as well as elsewhere, and locally are fortunate for-tunate in being housed at the new Third East store of the Botterill Automobile Auto-mobile company, which was opened to the public a short time ago. Here the Dodge Brothers cars have their exclusive exclu-sive shuw room, so designed and finished fin-ished as to be a worthy setting for the handsome vehicles on display.

The new store provides ample room for properly storing and displaying these motoring essentials and for giving speedy service to owners of these makes of cars. Business at the State street store of the Botterill company is maintaining its usual high level, sales of the Hudson Hud-son Super-Six and Essex cars having proved one of the big features of the present selling season. The Essex, tho newcomer in trfo Botterill Bot-terill family, is living up faithfully to all tho extensive claims made for its utility and satisfying qualities. Ee-ports Ee-ports of results in actual road use and continuous work-a-day service are being be-ing received daily by the Botterill corn-pan corn-pan v from all sections of the intcr-mou'ntain intcr-mou'ntain district, where the Essex is put to about as many and varied uses as could well be imagined. Diversified lines of business, differing tastes in social so-cial and recreational usage all unite in giving the Essex the endorsements which were expected,' but are none tho less gratifying to the sponsors of the car in this part of the country. |
