Company Finds Satisfied Users Best
Means of Increasing Sales From
Year TO Year--Something About
Mitchell Plans For 1911.

We have no desire to pretend that
we are the fount and source of all
automobile knowledge--of all design
ing abilities and manufacturing facil-
lties--and we doubt if the good COM
mon sense of the average well inform
ed and sophisticated purchaser is
often taken in by such arguments.
But we do desire to make the strong
and straightforward business appeal
that we have been building cars Of
merit. 1t Is our good fortune not to
be handicapped by seeking sales for
a new and untried product, and we
are frank to confess that much of
our confidence in Mitchell cars Is
founded upon the results that thou
sands of users are securing in the
operation of Mitchell machines of past
seasons.
There are today over $40, 900. 900
worth OF Mitchell cars on the roads in
the hands of satisfied users. Our busi-
ness last year was a 9S per cent. in
crease over that of the year before.
And at the time this was written, such
has been the demand for and the
success of our newest models, that
| some hundreds of these have been
sold, and are in use solely as the result
of our good reputation, our immense
and well organized manufacturing and
distributing facilities. and the meager
description afforded In q brief adj
vance circular.
so in now presenting the fun de-
| tails of our line for the new selling

| construction of and explanations of
the merits, rather than arguments for

are exceptions to prove this rule, just
as there are exceptions in all other

prejudice to the industry, that some
persons may have purchased motor

not prove that this class of persons

that the prices for good, reliable ma

of material has to be used and skill

From the speech of William Mchin-
lev before the Marquette club in Chi
cago while he was governor Of Ohio
February l2, 1896, on Abraham Lin
coin:
"It requires the most gracious pages
in the worlds history TO record what
one American achieved. The story OF
this simple life is the story Of plain.
honest, manly citizen, true patriot, and
profound statesman Who, believing
with the strength Of his mighty soul
IN the institutions of his country, won
because of them the highest place In
the government-then fell a precious
sacrifice to the Union he loved so dear,
which Providence had spared his life
long enough to save.
what were the traits Of character
which made Abraham Liacoln profit
and master, without rival, in the
greatest crisis in our history? What
gave him such mighty power? To me
the answer Is simple: Lincoln had
sublime faith in the people. He walk
ed with and among them. He recogniz-
ed the Importance and power Of an
enlightened public sentiment and was
guided by II. Even amid the yicissi-
tudes OF war, he concealed little from
public review and Inspection. In all
he did he invited rather than evaded
examination and criticism. He sub
mitted his plans and purposes, as far
as practical, to public consideration
with perfect frankness and sincerity.
There was such homely simplicity in
his character that it could not be hedg-
ed in by pomp of place or ceremonials
OF high official station.
s'He was SO accessible to the public
that he seemed to take the whole peo
pie into his confidence. Here, perhaps
was one secret OF his power. The
people never lost confidence in him
however much they unconsciousll
added to his personal discomfort ant
trials. His patience was almost super
human; and who will say that he wa
mistaken in his treatment of the thou
sands who thronged continually +
him? More than once when reproach
ed for permitting visitors to crow
upon him, he asked. In panied SUI
