B. RACINE FOR TOURING CAR i MID-YEAR 'l MODEL i / with seats for four, has many new comforts and luxuries. All Bate Creations All these extra-fine bodies, like the Mitchell chassis, are due to John W, Bate. Like every detail of the Mitchell, they typify his ideas of efficiency. Mr. Bate has made in the Mitchell car more than 700 improvements. He has brought every part to his idea of perfection. He has given every part at least 50 per cent over-strength. For the heavily strained parts he uses Chrome" Vanadium steel. For 440 tgarts he uses drop forg- ings or steel stampings—three times as strongas castings. He uses almost no castings. The result is a lifetime car. Seven of them have averaged 175,000 miles apiece—over 30 years of ordinary service. Mr. Bate also built this model Mitchell factory, and equipped it with model machinery. The result is a saving of 50 per cent on our factory cost. You get in the Mitchell, because of this saving, at least 20 per cent extra value. You get 26 features which other cars omit. Come and see this car equipped with these exhibition bodies. Come now, because our allotment is small. We shall not have them long on show. MITCHELL MOTORS COMPANY, Inc. Racine, Wis, U. S. A. $1325 $1325 g Car, $1360 g Car, $300 Extra, $1775 $1850 o. b.
