There WASHOUGAL RESIDENT WHO RECENTLY CELEBRATED HIS NINETIETH BIRTHDAY AND HIS ONLY GRANDCHILD. Si . Sit rft Jiff ". it Wf Y In this Mid-Year Mitchell we have many new things to show you. All the best ideas which were brought out in 257 New York Show models. And 26 extras, unique to the Mitchell. Don't miss this car. The construction of the chassis in the Mitchell is uniform. We have Epent 13 years in developing it. And we cannot hope to greatly improve it. But a hundred designers expert and artists are evolving new Ideas in body and equipment. And our chief effort is to keep ahead of the rest. , t)ur Composite Car This year we took a new tack. We brought out this Mid-Year model our second for 1916. We held its completion until after the New York Show. There we saw all the new ideas and touches. And we learned whatSpeople liked best. Then we combined in this new model 73 things that folks wanted. Of these, 26 are unique to the Mitchell either ex clusive or very rare. So you will find this New Mitchell, in scores of ways, the most interesting car on the market. The Prize Design This body design stood out first at the v Show. It was voted b7 women and by men the handsomest touring model ever created. Body styles are like women's styles. The designer's favorite is often unpop ular. The only way to get a winner is to take a vote as we did. As a result of that vote covering 257 models we have a design which all will concede first place among cars of this season. So with every new idea and equip ment. They are not merely our concep tions. They are all what people liked best at the Shows. Exclusive Extras Then this Mitchell includes 26 extra features things other cars don't offer. All are wanted all are things you'd miss. But they are costly and unusual. So most makers ignore them, or else list them as extras. We believe that fine cars of this day should embody all known comforts and conveniences. So we add all we learn of or invent. We will let you decide, when we point out these extras, if you would wish any left out. John W. Bate Pays for All of Them These extras don't show in the price of the Mitchell. In fact, no other car of this sire and grade sells at the Mitchell price. All of these extras are paid for by fac tory savings. And those savings are due to John W. Bate, the efficiency expert. Mr. Bate built this plant, covering 45 acres. He equipped it with 2092 modern machines. He builds in this plant 93 per cent of this car, under Bate efficiency methods. He builds it for half what it would have cost, even five years ago. He builds it for less than any other factory could build a similar car. And for 20 per cent less than any factory which buys a large share of its parts. This is the model factory of America building high-grade cars. John W. Bate has worked out 10,000 savings. That is the reason for all these Mitchell extras. This is the only car with Bate Canti lever springs, which double the ease of riding. Tffis is the car which 37 noted engi neers have selected for their personal car. This is the car which holds the world's road endurance record. Six Mitchell cjjs have averaged 164,372 mills each an average 30-year service. Every motor car enthusiast should come and inspect this car.

"But there are certatn types of man ufacturing which we cannot absorb and make profitable. We must stick close to our resources of raw material. and a wise discrimination is necessary. "Indeed, there is no occasion for dis couragement anywhere along: the line. Portland is doing well, and will De ao lnyr better right along. "In memory I turn back to the activ ities of every commercial organization of the past. Through all the years there has been steady progress, due to the unselfish support by every class of citizen that has been given whenever a forward step has been contemplated. There have been years when progress was slow, but there has never been a serious setback. "There have been many disappoint ments, too. when we failed to realize on a carefully prepared campaign. But on the whole there has been little Justi fication for sarcasm, skepticism orcrit icism. Co-operation Declared eed. "What the Chamber of Commerce needs now is the good will and helpful co-operation of men who have to do with transportation affairs in a larger sense. The plans of the Chamber along these lines are sane and worthy of their attention. "We believe it i. posfiMa to bring Eastern capital to Portland and to Ore gon if given sane encouragement and the protection It has a right to-expect. When working here In Joint effort with our local capital, nothing but progress will be recorded. "To do these things the sensible ma chine to use Is the Chamber of Com merce, and to the extent of his ability every citizen should throw his effort Into that one avenue lor securing results."
