Recently, Parker Morelli Motor Co., Packard agents in Helena, decided to expand. Next door was the late Mr. Mitchell's display room. Leasing this property, Parker Morelli also acquired no less than 14 old Mitchells (no relation to Dealer Mitchell). Some had never been used; they originally cost from $3,400 to $4,800 and when Mr. Mitchell could not sell them at that price, he had hung on to them.

In one corner is a large portrait of her mother surrounded by holly wreaths. Before it is a bowl of fresh...
...incendiary bullets which set fire to their targets. The latest Italian artillery then went into action, followed at Rome that evening by a gala Royal Opera performance of musical Adolf's favorite Lohengrin. Next morning Premier Mussolini drove unobtrusively to the railway station, popped in by a side door, while His Majesty the King-Emperor arrived in his victoria with departing Guest Hitler. Il Duce. after seeing the Führer into his private train, dashed ahead in his own private train at a faster clip to Florence. There Art Lover Hitler browsed through the famed art museums...
