Maxwell is different We never claifn anything we cannot prove^-7- —— As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that has not already been proved in public test and under official observation. Maxwell claims are not therefore claims in the ordinary sense—they are state ments of fact—-proven facts. -They are, in every case, matters of official record attested under- oath. For example: The famous 22,000-mile Non-Stop run was made with .the Maxwell every minute under observation of the A. A. A. officials. That still remains a world’s record—the world’s record of reliability. That particular test proved about al? that anyone could ask or desire of a motor was decided that we extern invitation to Hro.

Just consider—44 days and nights without a stop, at an average speed of 25 miles per hour! / - And that, not by a $2,000 car, but by a stock model Maxwell listing at $825. You will recall perhaps that a famous high powered, high priced six in a trans continental trip made 28 miles average over a period of five days and eleven hours. - r Now compare those two feats—one of fess than six days, the other of 44 days. You know automobiles—which was the greater test? Is there any comparison on grounds either of speed or endurance? Proves you don’t need to pay more than $825 to obtain all the qualities you can desire in a motor car—if you select a Maxwell. For that Maxwell Non-Stop run was made, not on a track but over rougn country roads and through city’ traffic—average of all kinds of going. And—listen to this. So certain were we of the condition of the Maxwell at the end of that great feat, we announced that at the stroke of eleven on a certain morning, the car would stop in front of the City Hall, Los Angeles, for the Mayor to break the SUGAR FOR CANNING SHOULD BE SECURED Columbia.—The food administration 1* urging that all persons who can fruit* and vegetables for market ob tain their entire si;gar requirements for the 1918 season’as early'as poe- •rbif.

How is that for precision—certainty of action? That incident brought a ttorm of applause from the assembled thousands Hi]l_climbing? this Maxwell holds practically every record worth mentioning — especially in the West where the real hills are. The Mount Wilson record—nine and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevationj—was taken by a stock Maxwell. Two months ago a 12-cylinder car beat that record by two minutes. Then—three days later—a stock Maxwell went out and beat that 12-cylinder record by thirty seconds! Pretty close going for such a distance, and such' a climtpv-wasn’t it? V / • \ ■- •• ^ . —r So Maxwell still holds the Mount Wilson honors. Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time—a stock Maxwell against any stock or special chassis. Economy—also a-matter of official record. Others may claim— Maxwell proves. Thousands of Maxwell owhers throughout the United States on the same day averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. . Not dealers or factory experts, mind you, but owners —thousands of them— driving their own Maxwells. ' Nor were they new Maxwells— the contest was made by 1915, 16, and 17 models, many of which had seen tens of thousands miles of service three years’ use. Nor could they choose their own road or weather conditions—all kinds were encountered in the various sections of the country. Good roads and bad—level country and mou^f&inous regions—heat and cold- sunshine and rain—asphalt and mud. x * > And the average was 29.4 miles per gallon! \ There’s economy for you.
