New Six Cylinder Record Mitchell Six ran 126; consecutive hours without stopping—car covered 2563 miles A 1914 Mitchell “Little Six” at Pittsburg, Pa., last week completed a wonderful performance and set up a new world’s record for six cylinder motors. It was a sealed bennet, non-motor-stop test which started out with 1000 miles as a mark. Hood, stariing crank and starting motor were sealed securely by the Director of Public Safety. Observers, Pittsburg newspaper men, rode in the car night and day during the long grind over Pittsburg streets and adjacent hills. All those interested voted not to stop at the 1000 mile-mark because the motor was running so sweetly; same at the 1500 mile mark; same at the 2000 mile mark. An average speed of 20.2 miles an hour was made throughout the run. When the switch was turned at 2563 miles, Director Dailey said, “It’s a shame to stop that motor—it could make 5000 miles just as easily.” No water was put in the radiator during the entire run; the motor wasn’t touched; the only stops made by the car were to change tires, change crews and to replenish the fuel supply. A wonderful performance by a wonderful car —a new world’s record for six cylinder cars. The Mitchell “Little Six” pictured herewith, sells for $1895, fully equipped. It is known for the six cardinal points that have made Mitchell cars famous: SILENCE, POWER, STRENGTH, ?A%F'I“%’II‘{Y DEPENDABILITY, LONG STROKE There is a “Four” at $1595 and the “Big Six” at $2350. Any one of these cars commends itself be- cause of true worth and the Mitchell measure of value. , A A Frederick E. Murphy Autoiilobile Co. Northwestern Distributors b Mitchell Lozier Paige Conimerce
