About this record

The Mitchell-Lewis Company of Racine was one of the largest and best-equipped wagon manufacturers in the country in the nineteenth century. In 1903, the company produced its first automobile, and by 1911, the Mitchell-Lewis Motor Company had become the city's largest employer. Known for their large, fashionable touring cars, the Mitchell-Lewis Motor Company produced this booklet in 1911 to show how their automobiles were produced from start to finish.
