hours, and only the fortunate get some. 
'L'he grocer has to send to some city for 
Itutter and oleo. Borne who keep hens 
sliip to consumers, get any price ac¬ 
cording to the person getting it. For 15 
years I sold that way, getting 50c for 
eggs, 40c for butter. This is in lots of 
three or four or six dozen, five and 10 
lbs. of butter. I pay shipping, but they 
are good customers in the Summei’, as 
they have cottages here. I have formerly 
sold calves and turkeys to a butcher 
that I thought I knew, but lots of the 
goods were not good enough for his 
trade, yet I sold at the same time to 
private families at 5c per lb. more and

den produce to send to market. Men 
tell me that they lose one calf out of 
the season’s shipping to New York Gity, 
as condemned, in some cases not getting 
price of hide. I once sold 15 bbls. of 
iipples to a firm, followed the shipment, 
l)ought the apples and resold to another 
party and when I got my check it was 
$17 shy. I sent it back with all receipts 
and bills of lading. They simply stated 
the clerk made an error. F. R.

Much Like the Larger Mitchell 
John W. Bate believes that 
efficiency requires two sizes in 
Mitchells. 
A seven-passenger car, to be 
roomy, must measure 127 inches 
from hub to hub. And 48 horse¬ 
power is the proper power. 
But a 5-passenger car will be 
just as -roomy with a 120-inch 
wheelbase. And a 40-horsepower 
motor gives it power enough. 
So, to meet both conditions, 
we this year build a Mitchell and 
a Mitchell Junior. You don’t 
need to pay for room or power 
not wanted. 
Every Penny Counts 
The Mitchell advantages lie 
in making every penny count. 
John W. Bate, the great effi¬ 
ciency expert, has spent years 
here to attain that. 
He designed this whole 45- 
acre plant to build Mitchell cars 
economically. He equipped it 
with thousands of special ma¬ 
chines. Every part is built here 
at the lowest factory cost. On 
this year’s output his methods 
will save us at least $4,000,000. 
There is no other factory like 
this building high-grade cars. 
Hundreds of Extras 
You see the result in hun¬ 
dreds of extras—all paid for by 
factory savings. 
There are 31 features—like a 
power tire pump—which are prac¬ 
tically unique to the Mitchell. 
We have doubled our margins 
of safety. This year every vital 
part has 100 per cent over¬ 
strength. 
Over 440 parts are built of 
toughened steel. Many parts are 
oversize. Many are built of costly 
Chrome-'V’ anadium. 
In luxury and beauty the Mit¬ 
chell excels any other car in its

class. The finish coats are 
fixed by heat, to give a deep, 
enduring lustre. A rare-grade

we have added 24 per cent to the 
cost of these items alone.

cars without these extra features. 
See the 31 attractions, most of 
which are found in Mitchells

we can give you at these prices,

• Then consider the value of 
this double-strength. It means 
a lifetime car. 
See what it means in the Bate 
cantilever springs. In two years 
of use, on thousands of cars, not 
one of these springs has broken. 
Those are the reasons why 
men are choosing Mitchells in 
such an ever-increasing way. 
This year our output is increased 
2}^ times over. Men don’t want 
to miss these extras.
