Blount and Defts Disappear.

Reports from the state convict farm at Tucker last night were to the e. feet that Lee Blount and "Shorty" Defts, who escaped Wednesday, are still at liberty.
 No reports have been received in dicating that either of the men have been seen anywhere, and the belief is held by some that the men have obtained civilian clothing, and are hastily putting distance between themselves and the convict farm.

American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-03-01

The buyers of Mitchells, in large
part, have been men schooled in mech
anics. Or men advised by competent
engineers. We publish a list of ia
nous engineers who selected this car
for themselves.
Our purpose now is to impress on
laymen the superlative Mitchell quail
tiles. This year we more than double
our output, so more men al be sup
piled. And we want more men to
learn why Mitchells have lately won
such multiplied prestige.
They offer you what no one else can
offer. One hours time will prove
that. The result will change your
whole conception of what a fine car
ought to give.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-03-01
Now Also a SIPS Model Mitchell Junior
12O-Inch Wheelbase

Another new step which Mr.. Bate has taken is to build
a smaller Mitchell. And that is also for efficiency.
A man who wants a passenger car must have the
power to drive it under any hard condition. He ought to
have the larger Mitchell with its 48-horsepower motor.
But a man who wants a 5-passenger car can use a 40
horsepower motor. He has ample room with a 120inch
wheelbase. We build for him the Mitchell Junior, so he
doesn't pay for room or power not needed. But he gets a
Six.
This is not a new type model. 1t is simply a smaller
edition of the much demanded passenger Mitchell. To
prove it out, before making this announcement, we put out
last year thousands of these cars. 1t is just as perfect as
the larger Mitchell.
So this year we offer two sizes and prices, plus eight
new styles of bodies.
A LUXURY
This year we shall save, through our new body plant,
hundreds Of thousands of dollars. Here we now build
Mitchell bodies, open and enclosed. And under Bate eff
ficiency methods.
This saving all goes into added luxury. We have add
ed "a per cent to the cost of finish, upholstery and trim
ming.
This means heatfxed finish coats on the entire body.
1t means a rare-grade leather, a wider rear seat, better
cushion springs. 1t pays for a hundred final touches
which mean so much to women.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-03-01
NOW 81 COSTLY EXTRAS

Last year the Mitchell offered 26 distinct extra fea-
lures. This year it offers 81.
By these extras we mean things like a power tire
pump, reversible headlights, a new-type control, a ball
bearing steering gear, an eXtra-cost carburetor. Things
like a light in the tonneau, a locked compartment for val
uables, an engine primer at the drivers hand. Things
which usually cost an extra price.
On this years output it costs about 100000 to in
clude all these 81 extras. They would be impossible at
the Mitchell price without our factory savings.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-03-01

Here we build, under Bate efficiency methods, SO per
cent of this car. We build even our finest bodies. And
we build at a price which, in this class, no one else can
match.
The savings go into these extras. They pay for
unique attractions which every fine car needs. That
seems the best way to show you clearly the value of eff
fciency methods.
MARK THE O"VER-STRENGTH
You will see the extra features-see the extra beauty.
But the chief Mitchell extras lie in the chassis. And we
want to impress their Importance.
Over 440 parts in the Mitchell cars are now built of
t~oughened steel. Parts which get the major strains are
built of Va We pay for steel in Mitchells
up to Is cents per pound.
Parts on which safety depends-like steering parts
and axles-are also built oversize. Every gear is test
ed. And our standard for gear teeth is now $4,000 pounds
per tooth.
Let us mention one part which, in most cars, so often
gives out under shock. The Bate cantilever springs in
used in thousands of cars, not a single leaf has broken.
That's what this extra standard means throughout the
Mitchell chassis.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-03-01

AS a result, the latest Mitchell stands out as the hand
soonest car in its class.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-03-01
NEW CONSIDERATIONS

These are new factors to consider in buying a high
grade car. 1t isn't price that counts so much as the value
you get for the money.
Here is where the Mitchell has tremendous advantage,
due to years of preparation under a master of efficiency.
Every factory waste shows up in a car. 1t means
stinted value somewhere. The Mitchell factory economies
show up just as clearly in hundreds of added values.
See them and judge them for yourself. They show in
beauty, luxury and comfort. They show in road perfor-
mances. AS the years go by they will show in the Won
drous durability.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-03-01
TWO SIZES

MITCHELL rOomy, 7-passenger Six, with
127-ineh wheelbase. A hIgh-speed, economical,
4S-hOrsepOwer motor. Disappearing extra
seats and 81 extra features included.
MITCHELL JUNI0R-a 5-passenger Six on
similar lines, with 120-ineh Wheelbase. A 40
horsepower mOtOr-quarter-inch smaller bore
than larger Mitchell.
Also all styles Of enclosed and convertible
bodies. Also demOuntable tops.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1917-03-01
SAFETY MARGIN DOUBLED

This means a doubled margin of
safety. 1t means a lifetime car, in
Mr.. Bates opinion. 1t means less
trouble, less repairs, less upkeep.
The Mitchell standard, up to lately
has been 90 per cent over-strength.
That seemed an extreme standard. 1t
gave the Mitchell its reputation for
endurance.
Seven Mitchell cars that we know
of, built under that standard, have
averaged $4,000 miles apiece-over
80 years of ordinary service. Two
have already been run over 100000
miles apiece.
