UT oux opinion would not be of any particular importance to you if it
did n?t coinHap Vjjth the facts. We only want you to look the market
over carejM|y. Then we absolutely know that you will agree with us.
In thtt fjjjjsj p|a<;e there is the remarkable Maxwell engine. No four
cylinder motor or its ?fee hap ipore "pep" or go to it regardless of the price of
the car it drives. It wilt climb hills on high gear in a manner that will
astonish you. ft {3 quiet and works day in and day out with a sound, business?
like hum that is good to hear.
Any engineer will compliment the design of the chassis. And those
who are rfpt engineers cannot fail to note its simplicity and staunch construc?
tion. As for what it is m^cie of, we can truthfully s^y that better materiell
cannot be bought.
* TJ>e operation of the car is simplicity itself?the brakes are powerful?1
the springs aj-e Jong and flexible?the axles are strong and the steering
apparatus, like the i^st of the chassis, is built to stand the most severe service
the car 'iniy over fyave tp face, wherever or however it is used.
Tfy$n if ypu consider looks important, and most people do. you will not
? find a more attractive car than the Maxwell at anywhere near the price.
And it comes to you fully equipped with all the attachments you will
ever wttv.l or need; qlectpc starter and lights, demountable rims, one man top,
selt^vqpti^lrnff, rain-vision windshield, etc All for $655 (five passenger
