It is an absolute impossibility to build a wagon better than THE MITCHELL. Why? Because money cannot buy better timber than is bought for the MITCHELL Mitchell & Lewis Co., the manufacturers, positively pay 25 to 35 per cent, above the market price of first grades for the privilege of cull ing over and "skimming off the cream" of the wagon stock. This is carried for three to five years in open sheds under cover until thoroughly seasoned, being culled three to five times in the process of handling. Wood stock for three to five years ahead means wood stock aggregating in value nearly One Million of Dollars. It is not every factory that can carry this kind of a stock, consequently it is not every factory that can build wagons as THE MITCHELL is built too many of them build from hand to mouth buy stock today and make it up tomorrow. Do you want a wagon made in that way, or do you want one of our kind? One that carries with it an absolute guarantee thai it is the best possible to build a -ways has been, and always will be. If you want our kind, make up your mind before you start out to buy that it will cost you more money than "the other kind," because it costs more money to build it The Best Is Always the Cheapest ---all that you want to know is that you are getting the best. You can be absolutely sure of it when you buy a MITCHELL WAGON. The Mitchell Wagon Is the King Pin of our large line of . Agricultural Implements, Vehicles, Bicycles, Harness, Gasoline Engines, Cream Separators, Etc., and we aim to have every piece of jjoods sold by us in keeping with the quality of v same, viz: .
