It is important. You want an automobile that will carry you through mud, sand and snow, and do it easily. You want a car that will climb hills, that will get away quickly without laboring and straining its every part. Not all cars can do these things, but you know that the Maxwell can because you have the proof. When the Maxwell stock touring car set the World's Motor Non-Stop Mileage Record a few weeks ago, it encountered all sorts of unfavorable conditions-rain, mud and hills, over country and city roads--yet it cov ered 500 miles per day, day after day, for more than six weeks. Power, plenty of power, unfailing power, is absolutely essential to such a wonderful performance as this. Let us give you a booklet telling all the details of this record breaking Maxwell car. And let us tell you about our partial payment plan, by means of which you can make a cash deposit and pay the balance while you use the car. Give us the oppor tunity and we'll prove our case.
