SUPERLATIVE CARS.
WITH EXTRA FEATURES. ADDED LUXURY.
OVER-STRENGTH.
Mitchells differ in a hundred ways from other cars you
see. And each distinction is an added attraction some
thing everybody wants.
There are 31 features which most cars omit. There
are body styles exclusive in Mitchells combining all
the luxuries known. There is 100 per cent over-strength
in every vital part.
" Mr. John W. Bate has worked out in the Mitchells
more than 700 improvements. The cars of today show
the final result. Each is a study in beauty, in strength, in
completeness. -An inspection will delight you.
Here are Sixes in two sizes both superlative cars. A
roomy 7-passengor Six, with 127-inch wheel base and a
highly developed 48-horse power motor, at $14G0. Even
the smaller at $1195 has a 120-inch wheel base and a
40-horse power motor. They embody extras, which on
this year's output, will cost $4,000,000. You never saw
such luxury, such beauty, strength and equipment in cars
of tho Mitchell class. Such cars at such prices, in these
high-cost times, will seem almost impossible. So we have
to explain how it is done.
These values result from unique factory efficiency. In
the past few years the factory has built and equipped a
model automobile plant. Millions have been spent, un
der a great efficiency expert, to produce this one type eco
nomically. This has cut the factory cost in two. And
these savings pay for the extras.
In designing these bodies the factory experts exam
ined 257 now models, so no attraction has been over
looked. No other single car combines so many pleasing
features.
One hour with us will revise all your ideas of a fine
car.
