One way that the non-riHldeiit stockholder and director prorltH more than hlB local associate tnay be aeon readily. Thus, there are l;i(> .•ihares owned in Itockville (Centre, wliosu aii¬ iiiial Income, Including interest, direc¬ tor's fees, commlttoe work and clec- lioiiH Is $2,516.00, wliich on un Invest¬ ment of |i:t,600.00 (par value of stock), is not so bad. Uut there arc 114 shares owned outside of Rockville Centre which 'earn' $5,404.00 on a correspond- iiiK inveslment of $11,400, which Is vt ry much better!"
Needless to say, Ihe directors should and possibly do now feel very comfort¬ able. The aeven non-resld<;nt direc- and officers who are not associated with this 'local" Institution ought, in le eHtimation of the local business men, > feel V(!ry happy over the Increased irninK power of their dollars. The business men of thi? village who ¦e the cheery face of the bank-s t:renliil resident only one hour a duy—and that •tweeii 8 and 11 o'clock in the mornliiK, wlilch Is not exactly 'bankinK- hours" for business men—tlKures that his sal¬ ary of $2,500.00 represents not leas Ihan Jtl.SI per hour, whicii Is koImk some, even for ll Metropolis.
The klei of Ihus stlmulatliu; the earn¬ ing powe/- of the dollar is attributed lo -Mr. I,oft'. Hy local business men, and even by some of the stockholders. It is riKarded as 'one of those new-fangleil notions from New' York," Imported bv a successful business man of that great¬ er metropolis. It is remembered that he also bi-oiiKht out from the cltv some ideas appertaining to politics, atl'or pur- iliasliiK his maKnlrtcent counlry seat at Maldwin, which have not worked out Multe MO successfully. Kor one thinBi Ihey seem to be interwoven wilh thiit inaiilc word Tammany, which, he has since learned, is not i-xactly a word lo conjure with In Baldwin.
It was a coincldi'uce merely, but an odd one, that a gentleman who has resided In it. V. {-•. since Inhospitable Sing Sing bade him adieu, and who ac¬ quired fame In Brooklyn as "520 per oenl.

26 EXTRA FEATURES-
Unique to the Mitchell—All
paid for through Factory Savings
SOME OF OUR 26 EXTRAS
These are some of the e.xtras which the .Vew .Mitchell offers. Xo other car in this class, we believe, offers more than two of them. No other car at any price offers more than three
or four: •
H).\lra rooiii--a 127-inch wheelbase. Com¬ pare thai with oilier Si.xes.
.Motor-driven tire pump, with a pressure gauge on the tubing.
Reversible head lamps—searchlights which shine forward or backward or wherever you want light.
A carburetor wliich costs 1 ,'> per cent, more than the ueual.
Bate cantilever rear springs, which double the ease of riding.
Oversize steering parts, made of Chrome- Vanadium steel and fitted with ball bearings.
Chrome-Vanadium steel for all parts which meet major strains.
An engine with drilled pistons and otber perfect itms to give wondrous power for Its sizes
A 22-coat body llneh of most enduring lustre.
Electric light in the tonneau.
Kngine primer on Instrument board.
Liocked compartment for articles of value.
Tool compartment under hood.
Handles for entering car.
Compartnicni gasoline tank, i M'/•.; gallons.
IHESE-PLUS ALL ELSE
These extras and others - 2C of them come on tlie New Mitchell, plus everything else which quality makers can offer.
These are new features in motor car build¬ ing. Some of them are most important. All would l)e missed if omitted. And they ali come to you In tills car as a premium, paid for by factory savings.
Usually, when one maker gives so much more than another, you suspect him of hidden skimping.
Let lis remind you that the Mitchell has long been the first choice of great engineers. We will send you a list if you ask it—a long list of the ablest engineers in America who selected the Mitchell car.
We know of six Mitchell cars which have together covered 9Hti,227 miles—an average of 1»>4,:172 each. That's a record, we think, that has never been matched.
Kvery pan and material—every standard of f|uality--lH that which the best engineers have adopted. At twice the price we could tind no way to improve one Important detail. Efliciency means, aiiOve everything else, maximum service to customers. And we shall never let a car excel the Mitchell In that.
