A Lifetime Car

They have learned that men who now buy
fine cars want Car to keep. So, part by
part, in the past three years, they have
doubled the margins of safety. Today every
vital part in MitcheIls has 100 per cent over
strength.
That was costly change But it means
safety to you, endurance and economy. Two
of these MitchelIs that we know of have
already run over 100000 miles each. In
two years, not one rear spring has broken.

The fighting be- tween the advance and rear guards has been sharp at various points, but the Germans have been unable 10 withstand the pressure of the French forward move.
