Don't Pay this Price and Get
a Lesser Car

Compare this new $500 Mitchell with the best
American cars - no matter what their cost or
pretensions.
You will not find in them more vanadium OF nickel
steel. Yen will not find In them more perfect engines.
You will not find in them any single feature which
this $500 Mitchell lacks.
This $500 Mitchell is an imposing looking car.
II has a wheel base OF l04 inches. The body IS
wholly OF metal. Its four cylinders are cast sepa-
rately, as the cylinders of the best engines always
are. $3.50 horsepower.
The engine is housed under a big, handsome
hood-no taxicab effect such as seen in many of the
cheaper cars.
The springs are Of vanadium steel.
Aluminium castings are employed wherever pos
sible; only we 60 to the trouble and expense Of
strengthening them with bronze where there is
wear and strain.
The wheels are big thirty-two inches = fitted
with detachable rims and four-inch tires.
There are two complete ignition systems-the $50
Spltdorf Magnetic and a regular battery system.
The lubricating system Is the best that we have
found IN eight years of experience.
The transmission Is of the best ~selective sliding
gear type-as in 5000 10 $1,000 cars.
The battery and tool boxes, made Of baked enafn-
eled steel are furnished withou extra expense to you.
The tonneau Is detachAble-and you have your
choice Of either tOnneau, surrey body, rumble seat
roadstsr or Funabout deck al $500.
Judge this car by any sta~ndard-judRe It by it's
beautiful, graceful lines-judge it by Its tried and
proven power plant-judge it by the simplicity and
hexibility of its control-judge It by its ease of riding
Judge 1t by its luxury.
Or judge II by what it will do and how II will wear.

Take one example:
The crank shafts of ordinary cars are suspended
from a bearing at either end. There is play Ia the
middle. Where there Is play, there is added strain.
And there are broken crank shafts as a result.
In the Mitchell Crank Shaft there are five bear
between.
We have made 5000 crank shafts in this way,
and not a single one of them has ever been broken.
Consider this when you look at any other $500
car. Open the crank case and bear down on the
shaft at its center. See the play, and imagine the
added strain as the pistons exert their power upon II.
Then decide whether you would rather have the
kind of crank shaft that breaks under sudden
strains-or the kind that, In 5000 cars, has never
had to be replaced.
We could multiply comparisons endlessly. But
We would rather that you see for yourself.

CONTRACT AWARDED FOR NEW TEMPLE Masonic Building At Brewton
 Will Cost S8150 AIR PUMP IS INSTALLED New Depot Arrangement Is Recom- mended By Superintendent McKin-
 ney of the Louisville and
 Nashville Railroad.

Brewton. July 12.-(Special.)-T The Masonic Temple company has awarded the con ract for erecting a three-story fraternal hall to G. M. Lunsford, he be- ing the lowest bidder building to be completed within five months. The contract price Is sS15o.
 Other contractors made bids rang ing from $11000 to nearly $13,OO0 MT. Lunsford has just completed the Pau line Taylor hall of the Esther Downing school, which is said to be one of the ton. Hutchison & Garvin of Mobile are the architects, and will supervise the construction.
 When completed the building will be a model for fraternal society purposes, and will have it's first floor devoted to reception rooms, banquet and dance hall, kitchen. buttlery, etc., while the two upper floors will be occupied by the Masons, Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows and Woodmen of the World.
 The town authorities have installed an air pump equipment to the largest dTteSlan well that supplies the town with water, which increases the flow considerably. The difficulty of a short water supply during the summer months has been overcome by it's use.
