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 over modest in that regard. If you believe them all, they all make super-cars. In your experience, that theory doesn’t hold. Maxwell is different. We never claim anything we cannot prove. As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that has not already been proved in public test and under official observation. Maxwell claims are not therefore ments of fact—proven facts. c cams in tne orcunarv s use -they are state* They are, in every case, matters of effwi: ; at r! - oats. For example: The famous 22,000-mi! Non-S^cy: run • made with the Maxwell every minute under observation cf thv A A. A n V unis. That still remains a world's record -the world’s record c: reliability. That particular test proved about aii that anyone could ask cr desire of a motor car. Among other things it still stands the world’s long distance speed record. 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 $325. You will recall perhaps that a famous high powered, high priced six in a trans continental trip made 28 miles average ever a period of five days and eleven hours. Now compare those two feats—one of less than six days, the other of 44 days. You know automobiles—which was the greater test5 Is there any comparison on grounds either of speed or endurance? Proves you don’t need to pay more than $825 to obtain ali the qualities you can desire in a motor car—if you select a Maxwell. For that Maxwell Non-Stop run was made, not on a track but over rough country roads and through city traffic—average of all kinds of going. And—listen to this. So certain were we of the condition of the Maxwell at the end of that great feat, we announced that at the stroke of eleven oi. 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 arm stopped the motor after the 44 days and nights continuous ruur:.u_. she wars s acred . gain and off on a thousand mile jaunt to visit various Max vu. dealers How is that for precision certainty of action? That Ire.dent brought a storm of applause from the assembled thousands. Hill climbing?- this Maxwell hold- rmccvally every recon/. corth mentioning— especially in the West where the r . h.. - m The Mount Wilson record nine an.r. or.e-h.df redos 5,0<)a r ut elevation!—was taken by a stock Maxwell.

Pretty a. ■ : ,uch a „ an.ee and such a climb wasn’t it? So Maxwell still holds the Mount V. ’Ison no. Ready to defend it against all corn ts too . t any time a stco. 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 per gallon 01 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 of service three years’ use. Nor could they choose their own road or weather conditions—all kinds were encountered in the various sections of the country. Good roads and bad 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 average driving conditions not laboratory test. But that isn’t all. The greatest achievement of this Maxwell was in its showing of speed and relia bility and economy all in the same run. In that 44 days-and-nights No: Stop run, though no thought was given to either speed or economy, it still re: ains a fact of official record that the Maxwell averaged 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles per hour. Now you know that speed costs and that economy tests are usually made at slow-speed closed-throttle, thin-mixture conditions. You know too that you can obt; fen that one condition. Speed you can ret by huil dm: f<. • in economy of fuel by build g Any enpin and adjusting rt to obu.in ih l er •biiity shown in that t cer c
