Impossi Mptor Gar Value For The Money E FIND this U the attitude of many people who come into our salesroom? \*\foxe 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. '. Vs\ i- i . 1.7/ V ??????"? 1 ? -i ?* " i 1 i > ? ** A > . . It it not unusual that Maxwell value should not be known to everyone, because it is uncom? mon to find such a car (or 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 Hues of the Maxwell are ly 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 b deep and well-finished. From any angle it if a car that the owner can be proud of. Touring Car $655 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? well engine carries its load through mud and sand or over the steepest grades without a falter. Quality?The materials in the Maxwell caor 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. 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. Roadster $635 F. O. B. DETROIT T. N.
