i NEW CRY; OF MOTOR MAKER
Accessibility of All Parts Becomes
Goal of the Manufacturer of
. High Grade Automobiles.
HAS BEEN IGN0EHD IN PAST
Progress in automobile construction for
the last few years has been accelerated
by tho demands of ths super-critical
buying public Oy those whs own and
drlva their own cars and by those own
ers who derive as much pleasure and
recreation from caring for their ears aa
they do from driving them.
First cams tba cry and Just one It
was,' for a lighter and more economical
car. This demand was promptly mat by
the manufacturers, who have striven dili
gently and with untiring effort to reduos
the weight without sacrificing safety.
' This was only ' a matter of careful
study of construction and metallurgy. The
substitution of lighter but tougher metals
where stress and strain was most. Ths
replaqlng of heavy Iron casting with
lighter but tougher steel stamping and
drop forglngs.
. The reducing of weight brought about
I a marked economy In fuel consumption
and tire expense.
i The Insistent call for comfortable rid-
j Ing qualities and appearance worthy the
j Investment has servsd further to keap
the automobile manufacturer alive to
; these Important feat urea and their
prompt response ia evidenced by the trend
of dosign for tho 1W season-clean, un-
troken lines, yacht line design, long
wheel base, large tires and a noticeably
better quality of upholstering and finish.
Aereaelbllltr Korgottesi. (
But accessibility, the one thing that ap
peals most strongly the on subject
which Interests ths prospective automo
bile buyer th most has to a great extent
been entirely Ignored by most manufac
turers. Accessibility Is the subject that
appeal to the man who la going to drive
and oar for his own car. He wants to
know how he Is going to reach the grease
oupa, how he la going to make his ad
justments, how easily and quickly he can
get to ths running gear If something
goes wrong when ha Is out on ths road.
Ha wants to know how much tlms the
garage man la going to spend looking
for trouble If It over becomes neoessary
to run ths car la th garage.
There I plenty At room for Improve
ment by th manufacturer In respect to
accessibility, aa will be noted by the ac
cessibility features of th new Mitchell
model, "th kilx of '14," wherein a tremen
dous stride toward affording accessibility
for th owner baa already been made.
On of th moat striking Improvements
In th new Mitchell model, "th Six or
It," Is th extreme accessibility of all
parts of the chassis and running gear.
Outside of th extreme accessibility to
all adjustments on th motor and It com
ponent part la the novel way In which
provisions hav been mad for aay ac
cess to th entire running gear and
chaasls without disturbing; th body.

Fremont, Nebraska, caused no end of favorable conument
