Mitchell Motor Proves
True In Long Test

With task of nearly one years
length before him and considerable
portion of the United States and Cana
da as his educational studio, Robert c.
| Bruce, of the Educational Films corpora
| tion of America has undertaken mis-
+, sion for taking series of moving and
| still pictures for display in moving pic
ture houses throughout the continent of
North America that critics say will af-
ford the biggest educational feature ev-
er attempted in this country
Mr.. Bruce left New York ON January
IA. electing to make the entire excur-
sion by automobile. His boldness in
planning this trip and his determine
tion TO prove, at the same time the in
valuable assistance that could be rem
dered by-a motor car astonished the big
gest man of the film world. His selec
tion of the Mitchell car for his strenu-
ous travelling came as a result of close
study of automobile efficiency. No SOON
er has he determined upon utilizing a
Six OF Sixteen than he called upon
Charles T. Skinner, the Mitchell repre-
sentative in New York and purchased
la First series-seven passenger touring
ear and outfitted it for the memorable
camera journey. Nearly 1000 miles of
the "swiug around the big circle" have
been traverscd and already the film ex
pert has obtained enough films to de-
monstrate the wisdom of his selection of
the machine to carry him through vieis-
STUDIES or roads and trails that are in
themselves one of the most admirable
educational features of American life in
Southern states.
Because the motor OF the Mitchell ear
never has given him moment of mech
Hanieal trouble and the car lived up to
his ideals in efficiency, speed and en-
duranee Mr.. Bruce announced that he
had given the machine the name "The
Quiekern ell
"It goes through everything that has
a suspicion of a road under the mud ;,
wrote Mr.. Bruce in one of his commune
cations to President Friend of the Nit
ehell Motors company. 1.-THE Quickern-
'ell is still on top-mud all the way but
the ear runs splendidly, he added after
an experience in Virginia.

throngs that greeted the mud.spattered
machine and driver were very enthusi-

reception at his salesrooms for the cant
