my Scientific Car"
A Statement by John w. Bate, the Efficiency Expe
The First He Has Ever Signed

The latest Mitchell, in every
detail, typifies my ideals of
efficiency.
l have never said that before.
Yet l have devoted 13 years to
this car. have made some 700
improvements. And this is my
18th model.
We have all kept silent on my
objects until my work was done.
Efficiency is This:
Efficiency means doing things
in the best way possible.
1.-THE factoryit means economy.
1t means minute-saving at every
point. 1t means right arrange
ment. 1t means trained men. 1t
means machines to perform each
operation in the quickest way.
We have that now. The
Mitchell plant is the model of
this industry.
We have worked out here a
factory saving of at least so per
cent. A car like the Mitchell, in
most modern plants, would cost
the maker at least one-hfth more
than here.

Luxury Bodies

This year our artists have de-
signed seven types of new-style
luxury bodies. Before they did
so, l had them examine 2S7 new
models, European and American.
So not an attraction is missed-not
a dainty touch, not new idea.
There are two all-season models
the Touring Sedan and the Cab
riolet. There are two winter cars
the Limousine and Coupe.
There are open cars, and a top
that detaches.
All the beauties and Injuries
known to bodybuilding are COM
bined in these new models. They
are exhibition cars.

durance and for economy. I
know that able engineers look for
a car of this kind, because so
many buy the Mitchell. And l
believe that all men, when they
know the facts, will demand
scientific cars.
