ut has been said time and again
that Is per cent Of. the automobiles In
use today are used almost entirely for
business purposes: but want to add
TO that Just q little Bit" said Edwin
III. Neumeyer. TT u my opinion that
within six months we shall ind that
over 20 per cent of the motor cars will
be used either for strictly bsuiness
purposes Tor purposes that are
necessary to an ultimate victory In
the war.
For a number Of years at our big
Racine factory We have been striving
TO build what experience has proved
to be q Lifetime car Several Mitch
els now IN use have been driven con-
siderably over 10000 miles, with only
the minor repairs and adjustments re-
quired by any piece Of mechanism
But at that we weren't satisfied;
and when our country entered the
fight to preserve freedom and dernoc-
racy for our posterity. We decided
then and there to build Mitchells still
stronger, still more powerful and stiil
more lasting.
Saw Need of Stability.
I'VE knew, within a few weeks after
the President showed US our course,
that America and the world would
have to fall back upon the motor
driven vehicle as It never had before.
We knew that the automobile, to q
large extent, would have to perform
what had heretofore been the func'
ttons Of the steam and electric rail-
roads. We knew that owners Of auto
mobiles would be expected and called
upon to do those things. which, up 70
few months ago, were considered
impossible. We knew, then, that II
was plainly up to US to build Mitch
ellis better than ever-to strengthen
them for the noncombatant industrial
struggle on this side.
Mitchell engineers were instructed
to give the cars more OF the rigidity
and longevity necessary to make VIC
tory reality; to make them more
comfortable, II that were possible, for
those who would ind Il necessary to
sit behind the steering wheel hours at
time. Another factor was to make
Mitchell motor cars even more simple

hold the price down so that all who

One Of the inspections that should be

system to see that insulation. contacts.

wire system POOR Insulation will Cause
endless trouble. as in this method OF
wiring only one ground Is necessary
to cause Q short circuit. In making
these inspections each wire should be
traced from end to end and every IN
termediate contact should be examin-
ed.
Thrust washers.
Many cars are ftted with thrust
washers In various locations and such
washers eventually become worn and
occasionally the wear Is rapid. This
Is due to q certain extent to the fact
that no oil grooves are provided on the
washer and consequently when oil
tries to make its way to the face Of
the washer, It is squeezed out. 1t is
good idea to cut grooves in the washer,
20 that oil may be distributed over the
bearing surface and thus prevent ex-
cessive wear.
