Dun I way. a. the representative of th Pacific Bridge company, had stated to the board that It had now power under the charter to take such action unless It was prepared to bring charges of fraud In connection with the work. As soon aa Dunlway had flnlnhed speaking the mayor was on his feet, and In a vole shaking with indignation h referred to the curbing on Thompson street as an Infamous Imposition upon the people of the city. It was quite vldent that if it is within th power of th olty to punish the contractors that they will receive all that the mayor osn mete out to them.

Tb Aoef fallen government wtll erort fir wlr4es station, along the coast, i Decide, first, whether you want a car that looks perfect on paper; or whether you want One that has PROVEN its per fection in actual road service. There are several good "paper" cars at near the $1,500 price cars selling from $2,000 down to $1,250. Cars made by men who have manufactured successful higher priced cars, but who, now, for the first time, are attempting a $2,000 to $1,250 car. Cars made by men who OUGHT to know how to make a low-priced car but who have never made one. Much is promised for these "paper" cars. But no more is promised for them than the Mitchell, in eight years of service, has already PROVEN that it will do. The "paper" cars promise no more speed, no more power, no more safety than the Mitchell car is KNOWN to have known wherever motor cars are run. And they can promise nothing valid as to wear, service, up keep cost, because there is no past performance on which to base a promise. While the wear, the service, the upkeep cost of the Mitchell, you can learn for yourself from any of the 8,000 Mitchell owners. The Mitchell car has always been a low priced car. The new $1,500 four-cylinder, five-passen: ger Mitchell is not an innovation. We have merely made the best car that eight years of experience have taught us to make and added a $150 Splitdorf magneto, more expensive tires, and $300 worth, in all, of extra automobile value, which, with any other car at near its price will cost you extra. Learn These Things Before You Buy a Car NewModelK(1909 model) including $150 Splitdorf Magneto 32x4 in. tires and $300 worth of actual Automobile value which you can get in no other car of its price. Touring Car or Roadster Price Take one example of th difference between th proven Mitchell and any "paper" car. The best motor car theory Is that th water pump should be driven at halT the speed of the en gine. We made Mitchell water pumps that way at first eight years ago. But when th Mitchell got in common use on tha deserts of Nevada, there was trouble with hot cylinders. On those broiling desert sands, where the water heats while the car is stand ing still, It takes more to cool a car than It does on the boulevards of Chicago. So we made a radical change from the "best motor car practice" knowledge on which "caper" cars are built and we doubled the speed of the water pump. Since we geared the water pumps to go at full engine spued, there has been no more trouble with heated cyl inders even on the hottest days and In the deepest sands that tb deserta of Nevada know. And the result Is that there are only two cars which today sre In common success ful use on those desert sanda one a car that costs more than three times the Mitch ell price the other, of cjurse, the Mitchell. But if the makers of "paper" cars knew all thes vital things which eight years of experience in build' Ing low-priced cars have taught us they would not, even then, mak so good a car as th Mitchell at $1,600. The cost of making the special die and tools, alone, would prohibit it. If we had to bfcln at th beginning, as thy do. this new 1909 Mitchell would cost you $1,000 more,. It in only because our dies, special tool and ini tial expenses were paid for and charged off, years ago, that we can give so good a car lor so small a price. The $1,500 you pay for a Mitchell Model K goes not into dies and special tools It goes Into material, workmanship, testing it goes tn to th oar you get. e e e Material, workmanship, testing. It is not enough for us to know that our design la right, that our material is perfect, that our work manship is of the best. It is not enough for us to know that th 8,000 cars that wa have made are right We must know that th particular ear yon any is right. So we test it as though we wer making a. ear year. Instead of 15 cars a day. We test it on the roughest roads of eastern Wis consin we give it actual road punishment of from 100 to 250 miles over hills through sand on straight stretches th kind of a teat you would glv It if you were testing it yourself. e Compare this four-cylinder five-passenger $1,600 Mitchell with any of the "paper" cars. Or compar It with the best American cars, no matter what their pOTHlt If you buy a "paper" car, you are, at best, merely gambling that its makers are right! If you buy any other $1,500 car, you are merely buying possibilities, when certainties are offered you. If you buy any other car at near the Mitchell price, you are merely backing theory to win against experience when theory promises nothing that experience will not give. But the $1,500 you pay for a Mitchell buys the best that we are able to produce, after having made more than $1 1,000,000 worth of successful low-priced cars. $1500 Do you wsnt a car that has been perfected by expe rience, or ao you wane a per" car! pa- Take another example: Imagine the strains of mountain driving.
