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

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.
