MITCHELL SHOWS
POST WAR MODEL

One of the first models showing the
effect of war work on the manufacture
of passenger cars is the new victory
model recently announced by the Nit
chell Motors company, inc, of Racine
Wis. Authorities are agreed that a
marked improvement in manufactur-
ing methods and a consequent i'm
provement in the quality of the prod
uct is the chief result to be expected
from war work experience. This new
model bears that opinion out to a
striking degree.
Thus, while the new Mitchell skies
do not depart in any radical way from
the design which characterized this
line for the past three years, it is dis
tinctly new in the sense that it has
been built throughout to the finer.

factory has learned to work during the

A BICYCLE FAMINE.

A bicycle famine is coming, ac-
cordlng to inside Information from
bicycle manufacturers.
Practically all of the big manu-
facturers of bicycles co-operated
with Uncle Sam by devoting their
plants to the production of NUM-
tions--airship parts. hand gren-
3 AIDES, ITS" shells and military BIZ
cycles of special pattern that
very materially cut down the nor
NAL output of regular models.
The lost production on account
of war work, and inability to get
steel, has already caused serious
shortage.
More time will be lost while the
factories are changing their
equipment back to a bicycle basis.
There is also tremendous eX-
port demand for bicycles.
In the meatime, the existing
shortage of bicycles is daily be-
coming more acute and veritable
bicycle famine seems inevitable.
Men in the industry who know
the actual capacity of the plants,
estimate that it will tage at least
year for the output of bicycles
to catch UP with demand.
A good many thousand boys and
a sizeable army of men, who have
been looking forward to owning
new bicycles this season may have
to walk.

SPRING DAYS PROVE
BOON To statesmen :.
Of OAKLAND AUTOS

Spring days have proved a genuine
tors, if the enthusiasm shown by c.
o. Goodwin, managfier of the Sharman
Automobile company, distributors of
Oakland and Cadillac cars, Is to be
taken as criterion.
"These sunny days" said Manager
Goodwin, have enabled our statesmen
to take care of the many requests for
demonstration rides.
There's unique merit in the Oak
land cars that appeals forcibly to the
great majority of motorists, and this
year especially we have been con-
tinually demonstrating the many at
tractive features of q wide variety of
prospective owners. When one con-
siders that the Oakland touring car
delivers one horsepower of energy for
every As pounds of weight; that every
needless pound of weight in the strong
chassis and body has been eliminated,
so that a powerful engine is left free
to speed up hill and over muddy roads,
one will begin to understand the i'm
mense popularity of this economical
car.
iou cttn sum IL All up pretty wei
in the three words-snap, economy
and strength. The mechanism is the
kind that starts and stops instantly,
is responsive to the slightest touch
and in spite of the light weight which
leaves the engine unburdened by ex-
cess pounds, the strength of the car
is such as to inspire and merit alb
solute confidence. Then there's al
ways the economy of the Oakland.
Tire and gasoline mileage are high
and the first cost Is low enough for
the average man to pay and not be
burdened in paying for the upkeep."

N TIL WAR OVER THE
AUTO BUSINESS IS
HITTING ITS STRIDE
Boise Dealer Says the Industry
Is Moving Ahead-optimist-
lcally Looks Into the Future.

War, with it's trials and tribulations.

concentrating its attention on the i'm
mediate future-it Is looking forward,

accustomed peace time activities. To

sider the effects of the war and it's
sudden termination on this particular
INDUSTRY, on business and the public
generally, and on sales possibilities.
ormally the automobile trade is
optimistic; 1T never could have grown
to its present magnitude if manufac-
turers and dealers had not been pos
sessed of more than ordinary conf
fidence in the growth and prosperity of
the Cnited-S States in the utility of the
automobile and motor truck, and In
their own ability as business men,"
says the Boise manager of the United
states Tire company. During the past
fall and early winter circumstances
over which the industry had no control,
such as the shortage of material, re-
stridtions of the War Industries Board
and the sudden suspension, curtaiment
ana cancellation of war orders, taxed
TINS optimism severely and for a brief
period tended to convert it into pessi-
mlsm; but this period, like the war, is
drawing to close.
1t has been remarked within the
trade that some guardian angel seems
to watch over the automobile industry"
It IS recalled that the automobile in
dustry was the first to recover its
equilibrium after the first shock of the
financial panic of 1907; that the Ma
tional Automobile Show in New York
which opened coincidentally with that
crash on the Stock Exchange served
during the succeeding week to dispel
the gloom that suddenly engulfed the
Industry and to restore a large meas

OAKLAND NOTED FOR ITS "PEP.'

Purchasers of Oaklands these days
are reporting that the reputation it
has enjoyed for snap and power is
fully sustained in the late models.
The Oakland established number
of records for quick getaway several
years ago, among them being one
from a standing start to 35 miles in
IL seconds. The ability shown in this
performance was largely attributed to
the extraordinary power of the engine
in proportion to the weight of the car,
the ratio being one horsepower to
every SO pounds of car weight.
Designers of the Oakland special
lied in this feature Of their machine,
it is declared, because of the wide
demand throughout the country for a
light, yet powerful car.

1t was in connection with the strain

1t is noted in the pictures OF the
