Facts
GET the facts on the operating cost
' before you buy any automobile.
Find out the truth before—not
efter. And don't be satisfied with hear-
say or a salesman's claims. The price of
gasoline is high; so is oil and there is sure
to be an increase in the cost of all tires.
So, what you want is the car that will
give you most miles ptr gallon of gasoline,
per gallon of oil and per set of tires.
Here are the facts proved by the Max-
well stock touring car that recently set the
World's Motor Non-Stop Record:
Maxwell World'* No -Slo| Krcord Fact*
Miles without a motor stop
Average miles per day (44 days)
Miles per gallon of t-usolinc
Miles per gallon of oil
Average miles per tire
.22,023
. 500.6
21.88
4110
<1,871
Remember that this was a Non-Stop
Endurance Record in order to prove that
the Maxwell car was exceedingly sturdy,
reliable and trouble proof.
No attempt was made or could be made
to save gasoline, oil or tires. So these fig-
ures merely indicate what would be possible '
under ordinary driving conditions.
Right now we have a Maxwell we can
deliver to you. Let's not put it off.
We know the Maxwell factory can't get
half enough freight cars to carry their
doubled output. Later on we may not be
able to supply you. But we can NOW.
Better phone us for a demonstration today.

with admiration at the municipal

hands and said: "Say, old pard,

Romaine Beyer was standing
looking out of the window of a

the crowds go by. I walked up
and tapped him on the back
"Well, what are you thinking

There is no profession in the
universe which is so trying upon
the nerves as journalism. The
weenly grind becomes in time a
serious strain upon the nerves
f the constant worker, and irri
tability is as logical sequence as
mud after a rain. And to keep
sweet am id the whack and ruin
f nhysical fibre requires a more
than ordinary strong will. But
to smile and smile, though feel
ing a villian still is our sacred
duty, if not to ourselves, at least
to our neighbors. Some one with
wise noodle says that sugar will
catch more flies than vinegar and
it is tiue. Then let us use sug
ar and keep sweet.
