' Here are some facts which call
for prompt consideration if you
seek a winter car.
First, there is a dearth of cars
this fall fitted for year-'round ser
vice. And those are the coming
types. There will not be halt
enough.
Second, in the Mitchell models
the advance designs there is a
very small production. And vou!!
prefer these models.
A 20-Fold Demand
We suppose the demand for all
season types has increased twenty
fold in a year.
- And history shows that when a
tread gains that momentum it
soon dominates the field.
So this is sure: A large percent
age of buyers hereafter will de
mand one car for all weathers and
seasons. That demand is rooted
in good sense, so it is bound to
flourish.
But it has grown so fast that
fine-car makers this fall cannot
half-way meet it There will be
an enormous shortage. So folks
who seek a car of this sort should
decide at once.
Next-Year Models
The Mitchell luxury models
now on exhibit are designs just
completed for the 1917 Shows.
They were all designed tinder
John W. Bate, the famous efi
.dency expert. And under . his
motto Do everything in the
best way that anybody knows."
So our craftsmen first examined
all the other fine models built All
the latest European and Ameri
can. No attractive feature any
where has been overlooked.
These new Mitchells, therefore,
combine more appealing features
than any other single car. You can
prove that in five minutes.
But these are advance models.
This fall's production is extremely
limited, and it is nearly sold. So
if you want one of them we must
know at once.
Five New Designs
We have a new-type Demount
able Top which fits the Mitchell
Touring Car. The windows and
supports disappear when not
wanted, as in the Springfield type.
This doesn't look like an added
top. It doesn't overlap. It looks
like a Sedan, with electric dome
light, curtained windows, gray up-

types, render year-'round service.
Many Extra Features
In all Mitchell models you will
find many extra features. They
are paid for by factory savings, due
to John W. Bate. His efficiency
methods and this modelplant give
us enormous advantage. Compared
with the average car in this class,
the Mitchell otters at least 20 per
cent extra value,
The Mitchell of today embodies
700 improvements which John W.
3ate has made. Most of them
mean added strength and en'
durance.
You will want the Mitchell when
you know it So we urge you to
see these luxury models while we
can still supply them.
