St .Mat thews, S. C
I ??*n r Sir: 1 have your letter in
which you ask me this question: "Is
not the offico of State warehouse com
missioner a State office, ami If so, (loos
not thi' law mpllre that the commis
sioner l>e nominated in tho primary,
ami If so? shouhl la- not have a place
in the campaign?" In my opinion tho
office of State warehouse commissioner
Is a State office, hut in view of tho
action taken hy I lie recent convention
of tin1 I >eiiiocratic |*arty, hohl in C<<>
1 n in I ?l:i on the 17th Inst., I am of the
opinion Hint the Slate warehouse com

As chairman of the Stale Democrat

Impossible To Get So Much
Motor Car Value For The Money
WE FIND this is the attitude of many
people who come into our salesroom ?
before they know anything about the
Maxwell.
Not until the Maxwell is shown and demon
strated to them ? until they sit in it and examine
the finish ? until they ride in it ? -or perhaps not
until they drive it themselves, do they realize what
a tremendous value is offered in the Maxwell car.
It is not unusual that Maxwell value should
not be known to everyone, because it is uncom
mon to find such a car for a good margin more
than the Maxwell price.
The Maxwell stands absolutely alone in a highly
competitive field, for the amount of value it offers
for the price.
Appearance ? The lines of the Maxwell are
decidedly attractive. There is no break in the
contour from the radiator to the back of the car.
The fenders are gracefully shaped. All metal
parts are enameled or nickel-plated. The uphol
stery is deep and well-finished. From any angle
it is a car that the owner can be proud of.
Motor ? The engine 'in the Maxwell car is not
equalled by any other four-cylinder engine of its
size. And we know of larger and more expensive
cars that have less able power plants. The Max
weD engine carries its load through mud and sand
or over the steepest grades without a falter*;
Quality ? The materials in the Maxwell car
are the best that can be bought and the workman
ship that turns them into finished parts is no less
excellent. It is only the large production of the~
Maxwell factories that makes it possible to put
such quality of materials and workmanship into
a car selling at the Maxwell price.
Economy ? With its other attractive features,
the Maxwell is a most economical car to own.
Owners get 22 to 25 miles per gallon of gasoline
and 8,000 to 12,000 miles per set of tires. And
the car is so durably built that repair expense is
negligible. ' .....
v ? -*? *
We are sure you want a car such as we have
described the Maxwell to be. If you will give us
a few minutes of your time we are sure we can .
convince you that the Maxwell Car is an excep
tional value. Come in today.
