He may even think his claims are juotxfied You read the advertisements, so you know that makeu, as a mle, 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. % F; We never claim anything wec cannct 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 scnn—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 observatlon of the A. A. A. officials. * That still remains a worid’s record—the world’s record of reliability. That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of a motor car. ; P : 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 $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 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 _ countryrroads and through city traffic—average of all kinds of going. “{So certa‘in Were e of the condmon of the Maxwpll at the end of that great La&,.!m :announced. that at- the stroke of .eleven-on a_certain morning, the car R AN, 4 WOalrlld s‘top in’ frong of the City Hall, Los Angeles, for the Mayor to break the AL i vae seconds after hehad pulled the switch plug andstopped 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 chmbmg?——thxs Maxwell holds practically every record worth menhorung—— 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. 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—Ilevel 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 ynm. And under actual zversec anviny 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 Non-Stop run, though no thought was given to either speed or economy, it still remains 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 obtain economy of fuel by building and adjusting for that one condition. Speed you can get by building for speed. Any engineer can do that. But to obtain that combination of speed and economy with the wonderfyl reliability shown in that 44-days Non-Stop run—that car must be a Maxwell.
