TIRES LAST 20 YEARS
A PIPE DREAM? GUESS
AGAIN, IT'S THE TRUTH

Did you say hat your tires lasted
a whole season Or WI seasons?
That may sound fairly good in these
days, but what would You think of
tires that lasted nearly twenty sea-
sons? What are probably the oldest
automobile tires in existence are in
the possession of James E. Hokard
of Jacksonville, Ind.
In 1897 his father bought a 'horse-
less carriage" It's buggy wheels
were equipped with single tube pneu-
matte tires. These original tires gave
service on the old car, which is still
in use, until a short time ago when
new tires replicas of the old. were
made up special by the factory.

but by the combined efforts of both,
all working in harmony in one
mighty effort to make the motor car
business the most spectacular indus
try that was ever flashed on the in
dustrial screen. The car manufacture

and Minnehaha-"useless one with

II INNOVATIONS

These new Mitchells embody the following
innovations:
A new-size Mitchell-called Mitchell Junior
is offered to men who want a 5-passenger car.
So you don't need to pay for room or power not
needed.
Eight latest-style bodies are brought out, all
built in the Mitchell plant.
The saving made in the new body plant all
goes into added luxury. Thus "a per cent has
been added to the cost of finish, upholstery and
trimming.
There are 81 extra features, instead of 20.
These are attractions which other cars omit.
And now, for the first time, Mr.. Bate an
nOunces double-strength in every Mitchell part.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-02-12
The New Things

A NEW STANDARD.

The greatest new feature is a new standard
100 per cent over-strength. That is, twice the
strength required in every Mitchell part.
This is not a sudden change. John w. Bate,
our efficiency engineer, started three years ago
to attain this. Part by part he has doubled our
margins of safety. But this is the first time we
have claimed for the Mitchell more than SO per
cent over-strength.
Now over 44O parts are built of toughened
steel. The parts which meet the major strains
are built of Characterization. The most inn
portant parts are vastly oversize.
Every common weakness seems to be over-
come. Even our springs seem unbreakable I'M
der any shock. In two years constant service,
on thousands of cars, not one Bate cantilever
spring has ever yet been broken.
So Mr.. Bates ambition to build a lifetime car
seems realized in this model.
24R ADDED LUXURY
And now we make a new factory saving-an
enormous saving. All Mitchell bodies, open and
enclosed, will hereafter be built in our new body

is paid by factory savings, due to Bate efficiency
methods.
1T BELONGS TO YOU.
This extra value belong to you. 1t means
more endurance, more safety, less upkeep. 1t
means the pinnacle of luxury. 1t means many a
comfort and convenience which other cars omit.
They are all due to Mitchell efficiency. This
model plant, covering As acres. was built and
equipped by John w. Bate. Nowhere else in
the world can a car like the Mitchell be built at
the Mitchell cost.
Come see the results-the hundred results
which give unique value to the Mitchell cars.
Here is more for your money! great deal more
than in any other high grade car.
Never was this fact made so clear as in these
Mitchell models.

MILLIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR
MANUFACTURE OF ACCESSORIES

To this list might he added hundreds
of smaller and less important Access
series which make for comfort for
the motor car driver and owner.
Owner Demands Integrity.
In the membership of the Motor
and Accessory Manufacturers are 26s
manufacturers who are constantly
bending every effort to invent new
devices and perfect their product so
that from year to year the automobile
manufacturer has been in a better
position to offer the motor car buy
ing public an improved car at less
cost A few years ago the motor car
buyer was satisfied if his car would
get him there and back" Today the
experienced motor car owner insists
that the component parts of The car
he finally chooses shall be built by
reputable concerns who are strong
financially and whose integrity is
above reproach and who will. above
all. stand back of their advertising
statements n who are equipped to
render the necessary service.
Many members of the Motor and
Accessory Manufacturers have al
ready established service stations in
various parts of the country and 9TH
ers are formulating service plans as
rapidly as possible. with the result
trat the motor car owner can tour
the country today with a feeling that
in case anything goes wrong with the
car he is within striking distance of
an accessory service station that can
take care of that particular part or
accessory. The time is past when the
motor car owner is compelled to car
ry extra parts and accessories in his
car.
Specialist Better.
1t is not to be expected that the mo-
tor car maker can build motors,
starting and lighting systems. ear
b~uretors, batteries, axles, transmits
eions, clutches, differentials and other
parts better than can the manufac-
turer whose business it is to special
ize in these individual parts. 1t is the
same in the motor and accessory in
dustory as in all other i~ndustries-a
matter of quality up and price
down.
The manufacturing facilities of the
motor and accessory makers have
been advanced to uch a state of per-
lection that the automobile m~anufac-
turer is today securing his motors.
Parts and accessories at a minimum
cost, thereby giving the complete car
manufacturer an opportunity to re-
duce his price. thus giving the utilti-
mate owner the very best motor car
that can be made It the price
The maker of motors, parts and ac-
cessories is to the complete car man.
what the steel industry is
to the builder of locomotives and bat
tleships. The wonderful growth of
the motor car industry has been ac-
c~omplished not by the motor car
manufacturer alone nor by the motor
and accessory manufacturer alone,

plant. And built, like our chassis, under Bate eff
ficiency methods.
Out of this new saving we add % per cent to
the cost of our finish, upholstery and trimming
Our finish coats are now fixed by heat, in en-
ormOus ovens. This gives the Mitchell a deep,
~lustrous finish, with a gloss that endures like
enamel.
An extra-grade leather is being used, costing
so per cent more than usual grades. Also costly
cushion springs.
Every detail of finish and trimming shows the
masters touch. You never saw a modest-priced
car so exquisite.
81 WANTED EXTRAS
In this latest Mitchell there are 81 features
which nearly all cars omit. No other car in
cludes more than four of them.
These are things like a power tire pump, re-
VeSsible headlights, an engine primer at drivers
hand. an extra-cOst carburetor, a ball-bearing
steering gear, a light in the tonneau, etc.
1t will cost 81, 00O, 900 on this years output
to add these extras to the Mitchell. But the cost
