Bate Practically the First Builder of "Six" Cars in America John VV. Bate, vice-president and chief engineer of the Mitchell-Lewis Motor Co., holds a unique and enviable position in tlie automobile world, be ing absolutely the first producer of practical automobiles in large quan tities in America. Sponsor for and builder of the well-known "Mitchell" line, Mr. Bate's foresight and keen an a3ysis of the automobile market has been marked by the steady progress of tlie Mitchell-Lewis Motor Co. Mr. Bate's early entry into the auto mobile market has given him a keen insight as to the public demand and the rapidity of the progress of the Mitcliell-L.ewis Motor Co., from 1901!, when he designed and built the first "Mitchell" car. the first car to retail at $760, and that could be successfully manufactured in quantities reads like a story from the "Arabian Nights." As early as 190."i he designed and built a Mitchell model to sell for $750. In 1905. he built the Mitchell model B-4, a side-door touring car, to retail for $1,500, at that time the lowest price four-cylinder car on the Americain or European market. This, outside of the change in body desig" and addi tion of an up-to-date equipment, is a prototype of the modern car of to-day. With an early realization of the de mand for a. popular priced Six, Mr. Bii/te's manufacturing experience and engineering genius was responsible for the first popular priced six-cylinder car ever built in America. In 1910 Mr. Bate offered the automobile world the seven-passenger Mitchell .Model "S" at $2,000. a price one-third less than any six-cyyllnder car in tlie world at that time. With his early advent into the Six field, his broad experience, and the enormous meinufacturing facilities of the Mitchell-I*ewis Motor Company at Ills command he developed the Six and, notwithstanding the quick turn other manufacturers were making towards Sixes, Mr. Bate with his priority in the field made rapid progress through 1911 with this model "S" and in 1912 climax ed his wonderful work in the field of Sixes with the world's famous Mitchell "Baby Six" at $1,750, the first six-cylin der car in the world to retail for Jess than $2,000. Evidence of the wonderful constructive ability and mechanical genius of this Mitchell Engineer is the fact that now. three years later, they bring more on the market than other cars of the same date. Mr. Bate is the man who has designed and built Mitchell cars since the Mitchell-Lewis Motor Co., entered the automobile field in 190.1, .with the ex ception of 1911! when we was in Europe recuperating from his twelve years of strenuous effort in producing cars. Tin' Mitchell 1915 Light Six at $1,585, and the Light Four at $1,250, arc the result of Mr. Bate's seven years' experi ence in building six-cylinder cars and fourteen years' experience in designing and building automobiles. These are bis masterpieces and his engineering abil ity and the integrity of the Mitchell- Lewis Motor Co.. with its record of eighty years of faithful service to the American public are back of this pro duct.

Sir Douglas will be the guest of the Natural History Society at the Majes tic. Theater February >O, when he will relate the story of his famous trip across the South polar wastes in his quest for scientific data for the Aus tralian government. Sir Douglas made the trip with two companions, Lieuten ant B. E. S. Ninnls, Royal Fusileors, and Dr. X. Mertz, and in speaking of that memorable, weary trip <Jf miles and miles, he said: "We were going across King George V. band, i looked around and missed Ninnis. "Mertz and I hurried back to the crevasse and peered down into it. It was of unfathomable depth and all that could be seen was a dead dog, an injured dog and a few fragments of the sledge load caught on a shelf 150 feet below. The moans of the dog ceased with a few minutes. "Unfortunately the largest part of our supplies were on Ninnis* sledge and were lost with the best team of dogs too. We had stripped the dogs' bodies for food and even smashed the bones for nutrition. But the poor old fellows themselves had been starved and there was no nourishment in their bones. "I could see that Mertz was grad ually becoming depressed and at. mid night, ho passed away, after having been in a delirium and unconscious for some hours. I was Ulone about 100 miles from the camp. "For the next five days it snowed all the time and I was able to see only a few feet ahead of me. Suddenly 1 found myself dangling at the end of my sledge rope in an apparently bot tomless crevasse. 'This is the end,' ! I decided, as 1 hung there, and though I you may n,)t believe It the next thought that flashed into my mind was that T still had several pounds of meftt left and I regretted that I hadn't eaten at all, so strongly was I obsessed with the idea of food. 1 hung there probably ten minutes. wondering whether to unloosen the rope and drop down or climb out if I could. I finally managed to climb hand over hand to the lodge. "1 then took the rope off the "sledge and made a rope ladder of it to get. across the crevasse, abandoning most of my provisions. 1 crept forward through the snow for the next three weeks, barely alive, with the skin worn oft the soles of my feet." Million Dollars' Worth of Autos F. L. JEWKTT Paige-Detroit .Motor Car Company "The Paige Company was organized four years HRO. The first year we built, and sold 300 automobiles. Our busi ness for last year ran over $1,000,(100 per month on an average. That is a record that nny organization may well lie proml of but when it is considered that the tremendous growth was ac complished in the face of keen compe tition from manufacturers who were already well established, it assumes even greater significance. "Four years ago our factory com prised part of a floor which gave us about 2400 square feet. To-day we are in a magnificent, now plant, of 390.000 feet floor space and equipped with every modern facility for economical production of fine motor cars. "Four years ago we employed a handful of men. Now the average working force is about 1,000 skilled, trained and loyal men whose yearly wage earning capacity is approxi mately half a million dollars. "Four years ago there dtd not ex ist a Paige selling organization. To day over 700 wide-awake dealers are preaching the gospel of Paige quality and value in every state in the Union and many foreign countries." Mr. Jewett smiled when asked to what he attributed the remarkable de velopment of the Paige Company. "1 believe this wonderful and rapid 'rise rests upon the foundation of tho excess value we have always built into I Paige cars. Of course, it required many things to produce these values, | but we have file fundamental require ment in the Paige organization. |. "The romance of the Paige develop ment is linked with the names of some of Detroit's most active, shrewd, and successful businessmen. With their combined experience, with their con structive ability, with their conserva tive judgment, with their unlimited capital and high ideals, it is no won der that the Paige organization and Paige cars have won such marked suc cess.
