Any maker may claim for hii 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*cari.
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 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 the
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 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 over 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 test?
Is there any comparison on grounds either of speed or endurance?
Proves you don’t need to pay more than $825 to obtain all 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 gieat
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 motor after the
44 days and nights continuous running, she was started again and off on a
thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers.
How is that for precision- certainty of action? That incident brought a storm
of applause from the assembled thousands.
Hill climbing? this Maxwell holds practically every record worth mentioning —
especially in the West where the real hills 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 that record by two minutes.
Then- three days 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.
i «. . . *
Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time—a 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 per 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 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! r
There’s economy for you. And under /actual] average driving conditions-r 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 Non-Stop ?run, though no though^ was given to
cither speed or ecoiK>my. it stjll remains*** fact of official record that the Maxwell
averaged 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles<pcr 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 obtain economy of fuel by building and adjusting
for that one condition.
Speed you can get by building for spiced. * Any engineer can do that.
But to obtain that combination of speed and economy with the wonderful
reliability shown in that 44-days Non:Stopjrun—that car must be a Maxwell.

Way For Boys And Girls.
“To help raise this money our gov-
ernment a! Washington has found a
plait by which all the hoys and girls
if tlii.s country may help; and while
lelpitig the government also help
hemselves. It is lo save tludr money
and lend it to the government. The
limes and nickles with which we buy
in necessary things and that we spend
-ach week thoughtlessly for things
we really could do without, should he
iscd to buy Failed States Thrift
■Slumps. lOvery lime von buy a 2.">
,;enl Thrill Stamp you lend that <piar-
er lo the l lilted Slides lo use at this
.imo when 11 needs it to end the war.
You will probably think that 2"> cents
a not a large amount to set aside for
your country. If every boy and girl
should set. aside 2T> cents and then
Another 2f> cents, and so on until they
have enough money to buy a War-Sav-
ings Stamp, which costs a little over
t4. a tremendous sum of money would
be raised. It is the small amounts
that make up Hie large amounts.
Every dollar has one hundred cents.
"You do not give the Government
this money that you are goin.y to save.
You lend it: and the Government will
pay you hack with interest.
Thrive On Thrift.
“When you buy a Thrift Stamp or a
War-Savings Stamp, you are practic-
ing THRIFT. When it is said that a
person is practicing thrift, il means
that he is not only saving money, but
rliat he is denying himself things
that be does not actually need for
health. That lie is ’.tying money by
for a rainy day, and that he becomes
i a better and stronger person by sav-
, lug. If each of the men and women
| tn this country had practiced thrift
| whew they were younger, wo would
' not be stopped on the streets by men
' aud women w ho are begging for
money to buy food, nor would we
: have puorhousc.s and other institu-
i tioiu that must be supported from the
pocket* of those who have practiced
thrift and laid by money for a rainy
day.
"We are sure that every boy and
girl in Oklahoma wants to help the
I'nited Slates to end this war, and
they can help by saving their money
aud buying War-Savings Stamps and
by having everybody in the house
where they live doing the same thing.
Don't stop with yourself, but get
others to save. When you become
men ami women you will look back
upon today with the greatest satis-
faction. and say to your children that
while you were too young to fight in
the great world war you did your part
h? MTlag your money and lending It
