Artifact Overview

After several years as suppliers to Ford Motor Company, brothers John and Horace Dodge formed their own automobile company in 1914. They selected a logo with two interlocking triangles to represent the brothers' close collaboration. Although their logo resembles the Jewish Star of David, John and Horace Dodge were Presbyterians. Chrysler purchased the Dodge Brothers company in 1928.
