High grade steel of the autom and other raw materiale used in the Maxwell have been steadily costing the Maxwei: Company more and more until at last the factory reluctantly has been forced to increase the price in order to maintain Maxwell quality. For it is the fixed policy of the Maxwell Company never, by even a hair’s breadth, to change the sierling quality of the materials, parts, accessories and refinements of the Maxwell car—except, if it were possible, to change for the better. The present low price of the Maxwell has been the wonder le industry. The amazing thing is—even before the cost of the best automobi the Maxwell was built to oing up by lea for so little and bounds—how it has. Of course the reasons are: —a ma ent factory organization of men and machinery, tke result of many years of experience and developme: —and a vast quantity production, now at the rate of over 100,00C cars yearly. Maxwell Leadership Unchallenged In the Maxwell y is the equivatent of - Here i which, fer results, car mi —with all of the accessories and refinements of costlier re, —with allef the comforts and luxuries that you expect to great deal my vith the mere for, fameus record-making Maxwell motor that has power and speed to spare, 1 «with ‘@m economy of gasoline consumption that is more than amazing, —all these master qualities ie within the reach of every f: the Maxwell at a price which Master.

This is but one example among thousands which are on record in the- Maxwell factory office. Amazing Maxwell Endurance Never before has any other automobile than the Maxwell accomplished such a marvelous feat World’s Record. A five-passenger Mazw: of endurance as this stock touring car was run 22,022 under the auspices of the American Automobile Assecia- tion without a motor stop or a stop for any repairs. This in itself is an amazing thing, —but on top of that, this car, under the most trying f the endurance test, averaged 22 miles per gallen of cireum.
