It is contended by the motorists and (rood roads enthusiasts on the coast . that this section is now of enough im portance and there is sufficient busi neaa to warrant holding the 1911 Glid den tour on the coast exclusively, mak ing It an international affair, running from Tla Ujana, Mexico, to Vancouver B. C. The fact that this route com pletely crosses the United States and originates in one foreign country and -ends in another has the uniQue feature that no Gllddrn tour has ever been of fered before. f If highway officials and those in charge of road construction on the coast knew that this route would be adopted, it would be a tremendous in . centlve to road building in all the ter ritory affected; and - even though but little Improvement was" made on the present conditions roads would un doubtedly be In bettor condition than seme parts of last year's (Hidden tour route offered. ilf this national 'motoring event Is Drought to the coast the coming year, there is no question but that the re , caption that will be given the visitors wll outdo everything that has been pro vided them In the past in the way of entertainment and hospitality, for It Is acknowledged that the people of southern California, especially, are the premier entertainers of the world, and for that-matter, the entire west has the reputation, which is founded on i experience, of extending every one en thusiastic hospitality.

Main 692 PHONES A-2234 SIXTH AND MADISON STS. - - PORTLAND, OREGON SIMPLE truth in an automobile advertisement is as rare as a day in June. Common sense is just as unusual. In automobile advertising the whole list of English superlatives runs riot as arule. 7ney mean nothing to the average man. Glittering generalities are equally as tiresome. Absurd claims beget nausea. Truth and common sense will always palliate these evils. We beg to submit them herej as follows:; ' - - The success of the MitcheU car has teen made possible fay the Company's attitude to wards its patrons. . Nothing else in the worlds-no amount of clever advertising nor shrewd salesmanship could have accomplished so much for us in such a short time as seven years, as the Mitchell-Make-Good Policy for the owners of Mitchell cars. Stripped of imagination and theory, egotism and prejudice, that is the simple fact. Today the Mitchell-Lewis Motor Company is the soundest and most reliable automobile concern in the world. It has become so, not alone because it makes a good car, but because it has religiously, stood behind every car it has made and allowed no man to suffer for something it has failed to do or has done incorrectly. - . That Make-Good Policy js the grandest asset .. this Company could have possibly had. It's the biggest thing in the world. K In time, of course, the merits of the Mitchell car would have made it successful in the sure way that quality has. We have no moral right to dis cuss that now. Our real asset, the one that in duced the people to fcuy the car in the first place, was and is the fact that the public knew and know we make right anything that goes wrong. It hasn't been a half-hearted policy, a "sales promise" or an "advertising stunt" Ask any owner of a Mitchell car in any part of the civilized world and he will tell you that we have done our part to his entire'satisfaction. Every agent of the Mitchell-Lewis Company has been taught that a patrons acquaintance and claims do not cease with the payment of the purchase price. He has been innoculated wiuV the, Mitchell-Lewis belief, in moral responsibility. Hetts not permitted to dodge the issue when it is raised and if he seeks to do so, he can't sell Mitchell cars- . Our agents are the same today as they were seven years ago. This policy has kept them. When Mitchell owners buy new cars they in variably buy Mitchells. 77hs policy has kept them. They feel mighty secure with that bul work to lean upon and we therefore have the happiest family of owners that the automobile industry has ever known. With the factory and agents working hand in hand on such a basis as this, can't you see what a great cumulative force we have had, and can you wonder why the Mitchell has progressed steadily from one year to the other? We are free to admit that the Mitchell policy has not put much of a burden upon us. We have had some little trouble here and there, for ,wc all know that automobiles will go wrong at times no matter how splendidly they may be built But in every solitary case we have made good whenever requested and no man that lives, who owns a Mitchell car,, can truthfully say that we havet stood behind him like the Rock of Gibraltar. Establishment of the Mitchell ServiceDept We are going even farther. We. have" recently established what will hereafter be known as the "Mitchejl Service Depart ment" It ia a development of the Make-Good Policy. At its head we have placed one of the executive officers of our organ ization. Included within the scope of his work is the repairs de partment It is his duty to keep an eye on all Mitchell cars, no matter in what remote section of the universe they may be. It is his duty to keep Mitchell owners thoroughly contented. If any thing, goes wrong whn your car, come to this department and say in cold English, "This car. has. gone wrong. Now make it right" There will be no argument. There will be no evasion-no- technical shirking of responsibility. WE'LL GO THE LIMIT. We believe the Mitchell is now as perfect as skill can make it The Car for 1911 The cars of 1911 will be practically the tame as they were in 1910. There will be some improvements and refinements. Besides they will be fully equipped with top, lamps, tools, horn, jack, magneto and larger tires than heretofore. We are putting more money into the cost of making the car and will therefore have to charge you more. We raise the prices but riot the profit As a-4natter of fact the profit is less at the raised prices than it was at the lesser prices. W are giving more for your money.
