MITCHELL. SHOWS
 POST VAR 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 Mitchell Motors Co. Inc, of Racine, Wisconsin. Authorities are agreed that marked improvement in manufac- turing methods and consequent i'm provement in the duality of the pro- duct is the chief result to be expected from war work experience. This new model bears that opinion out to a strik- ing degree.
 Thus, while the new Mitchell sixes 'do not depart in any radical way from the design which has characterised this line for the past three years, it is dis tinctly new in the sense that it has been built throughout to the finer higher standards to which the Mitch ell factory has learned to work during the time when it was devoting all of it's facilities 10 winning the war.
 A close examination reveals the fact z that the Mitchell engineering staff . have gone over this car from headlight to tire carrier and have changed. i'm proved and strengthened every detail SO that the car now stands out as one
 
 service for much longer period than ttthe ordinary car.
 It was realized early in their investi- g4tions by the Mitchell engineers that the old standards of strength for cars in this class would have 10 be discon tinued. The light six was too light. It called for too many sacrifices. The car of the future must be an all round no if lsfrt7 gasoline and tire mileage and heavy enough to stand up for years under hard treatment
 Accordingly, the frame was strength ; ened not only by adding depth to the side members but by reinforcing the cross members and by the method of assembling the frame with hot rivets which hold tight instead of cold rivets which soon loosen up.
 The rear axle is made of heavier. better material throughout. New kinks in the design, cutting and mounting of The spiral bevel gears tend to make the axle quieter as well as stronger. A new method of hanging the brakes which vastly increases their efficiency and ease of operation has been devised
 This policy of strengthening the cqr has been carried out in all details such as the steering gear. front axle. bodies and in many other places.
 The one thing that war has taught those manufacturers who have been making material for the government. i- how 10 do fine work Mitchell engineers LOOK full advantage of this knowledge m pertectns the new Victory model.
 The cylinders for example are ground 10 accurate dimensions and smooth fin ish instead of being reamed as is usu- ally the case. The methods of heat treating gears have been so improved that stronger, more uniform gears result
 Throughout the whole Mitchell fac. tory, the spirit of better workmanshir left by the war is helping Mitchell Workmen to build the new car better Over a quarter of million dollars wort hof new machinery and testine equipment make the results of this bet fer workmanship certain.
 IT was also realized in developing tho new Mitchell Sizes that the prospectiv, buyer of this class car expects and ha. 2 right to expect the same refinement and finish in the details~of the car hs huysra the man who has more mones
