Combining all the best new ideas that were shown there. Designed by experts who first compared 257 of the latest models, to embody their best in one car. Each great designer, every ea on, contribute new ideas to can. The Mitchell dciigneri contribute their ihare. At the New York Show in Jan uary all the.e new ideal appear. No one car has all of them. One designer has excelled in one fea ture, one in another, The ideal car ot the season would he a com posite car. And that's what we offer in this new-model Mitchell. The Best-Liked Ideas Some new ideas were fizzles. Some were immensely attractive. On each one our experts secured the motorists verdict. They picked out the lines which were voted the handsomest. They chose the new features which men and women liked best. Then they completed this new model to come out in the spring, and combine every hit-minute feature in body and equipment. This never was done before. This New Mtuhell, theirfote, it show in itself. It shows all the approved ideas. You will find it by far the most interesting car on exhibit. Exclusive Springs This is the only car which has the Hate cantilever springs. They offer ease of riding which was never known before. You will never believe what a difference they make until we take you over a stretch of rough road. The car ridei ruts as a boat ridei waves. This, to women, is the most appealing feature found in any car this year. 30-Year Service The Mitchell, we believe, holds the record for aervlce. Six Mitchell cars that we know of have averaged 164,372 miles each. That means over 30 years of ordi nary service. And all are running daily. The Mitchell is distinguished as being the choice of the ablest engineers. We have a long list to send on request of great engineers who huve chosen the Mitchell. The Mitchell is long, roomy, impres sive. Its wheelbaae is 127 inches. It has a power tire pump, reversible headlights, bull-bearing steering gear, gasoline primer on instrument board, and many other features whkh make this car a favor ite with men. 26 Extra Features Because John W.
