Motor Extra Attractions You'll Be Glad to Find It is not the expected things that make Mitchells so ap pealing, but the features you don't expect. There is added equipment, extra luxury, over-strength. There are countless comforts, beauties and conveniences which are rarely seen. There are 31 distinct features in Mitchells which nearly all cars omit. Extra Smart Styles You first note the distinctive body styles. There are eight new types of bodies, and each one is exclusive. That is because we have our own body plant. We have our own artists and experts. ...... . Before designing a body they ex amine every like-type body built. And all their. best attractions are combined with ours. Then our own body plant saves us much on each car. And that entire saving goes into luxuries and beauties which very few cars afford. Extra Equipment Mitchells are the most complete cars built. They have 31 rare features. These include a power tire pump, a dashboard engine primer, reversible headlights, shock-absorbing springs. There is a light in the tonneau, a locked com partment. There is Keat fixed finish which stays new. There is extra-grade leather which lasts. But the chief Mitchell " extra is doubled endur ance. Mitchells are now built to the standard of 100 per centover-strength. That is twice the usual margin of safety. This extra strength has made them lifetime cars. It has reduced re pair cost 75 per cent. Two Mitchells that we know of have already run over 200,000 miles each. Bate-Built Cars Mitchells are all built chassis and body under John W. Bate," the effi ciency expert. They are built in a fac tory which he designed and equipped. They are built under efficiency methods which save us millions of dollars annually. That saving pays for all these extras, in beauty and strength and equipment. With all these extras, Mitchells undersell all like-class cars.
