good standing and that they are re-
liable and able to hold up their end

know of that could stand the test for
durability and stylish lines, and at the
same time have old reliable conn
panies backing them up, as the fol-
lowing:
"The Mitchell Six, Jr., a full 40 h.
p. car, comes either in the five-pas-
senger touring or two-passenger road

on the thoroughfare today at any
where near its price. The next on

world over for its durability and hill

tie wonder, the bort Nowhere can
you find the duplicate of this car for
such small amount of money. Thin.
