affect the chances of the public choices.

The feature on the card, the fifth race,

the biggest thing to consider.

them. But you will learn here
facts of far greater importance.
What Cars Must Be
This concern is g. years old.
1t is 13 years old as motor car
builder. 1t is too old and too wise
to aim at transient success.
We have built slowly but sound
ly. Years ago we brought John
w. Bate, the efficiency engineer,
to this factory. And we gave him
free rein. Under his direction
we have invested S., 100000 in
the model automobile plant.
He has reduced factory costs
about half in six years. In the
Mitchell of today he gives 20 per
cent better value than the nearest
rival car, we believe. This is
shown in the car, in its price, in
our extras.
