1917 Mitchell Six Sedan: "This model plant-- covering 45 acres-- was built and equipped for this single type. It is designed to build this one type at a cost which none can match. John W. Bate, the great efficiency expert, has spent millions of dollars to do that.

"Mitchell: a roomy, 7-passenger Six, with 127 inch wheelbase and a highly-developed 48 horsepower motor. $1460 f.o.b. Racine."

"Mitchell Junior: a 5-passenger Six on similar lines with 120-inch wheelbase and a 40-horsepower motor-- 1/4 inch smaller bore. $1150 f.o.b. Racine." 

1917 Mitchell Six: "our test for gears is 50,000 pounds per tooth. Our test for springs is 100,000 4-inch vibrations. As a result, not one Bate cantilever spring has broken in two years."
