Any maker may claim for his product all the qualities there are. That is his
privilege. He [may even think his claims are justified.
You read the advertisements, so you know that makers, as a rule, are not ovef
modest in that regard.
If you believe them all, they all make super-cars, t
In your experience, that theory doesn't hold* *
Maxy/ell is different.
We never claim anything we cannot prove.
As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that ha3
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 th^
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 all that anyone could ask or desire of a motof
car.
Among other things it still stands the world's long distance sp^ed record. j
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.
Now compare tho*e two feats?one of less 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?
Provefc you don't need to pay more than $825 to obtain all the qualities you
can desire in a motor car?il you select a Maxwell.
For that Maxwell Non-Stop run was made, not on a track but over rougj^^
country roads and through city traffic?average of all kinds of $oing.
And?listen to this.
So certain were we of the condition of the Maxwell at the end uf 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
seal.
Five seconds after he had pulled the switch plug and stopped the rnoto/ after the
44 days and nights contiguous running, she was started again and off on a
thousand mile jaunt to visit vanous Maxwell dealers.
How is that for precision?certainty of action? That incident brought a storm
of .pplause from the us3embled thousands.
Hill climbing?- this Maxwell holds pract ically every record worth mentioning?
especially in the West where the real Iiilis are.
The Mount Wilson record?nine and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation!?was
taken by a stock Maxwell.
Two months ago a 12-cylinder car beat thai record by two minutes.
Then?three drvyr 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
climb?wasn't it?
So Maxwell still holds the Mount Wilson honors.
Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time?? stock Maxwell against
any stock or special chassis.
Economy - also a matter of official record.
Others may claim --Maxwell proves.
Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States on the same day
averaged 29.4 miles pcfr 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 cl service three years' use.
Nor could they choose their own road or weather conditions - all kinds were
encountered lxj the various sec tions of the country.
Good road;, and had level country and mountainous regions?heat and cold?
sunshine and rain asphalt and mud.
And the average was 29.4 miles per gallon!
There's economy for you. And under actual avenge driving conditions?not
laboratory test.
But that isn't all.
The great e- ( chievement of this Maxwell was in its showing of speed and relia?
bility and e< onom> all in the same run.
In that 44 dayo-nnd-n tihts IN >n-Stop run, though no thought vas given to
either spe< d or economy, it still remains a fact of official record that the Maxwell
averaged 22 miles per gi lion and 25 mile i per hour.
Now you V that! ed costs a I. thai ( nomj tests are usually made nl
slow-speed c loa d thr< I le, thin-mixture cot litions.
You know too thi t you can obtain economy of fuel by building end adjusting
for that one condil i< >n.
Speed you can 11 y building for speed. Any engineer can do that.
But to obtain thai combination of speed and economy with the wonderful
reliability shown in that 44 days Non-Stop run shut car must Loa Maxwell.
