10 Searching Quéstions Aboit the Mz well May Decide Your, Choice of a Car A Q.—Reduced to one point what is the single greatest thing you can say about the Maxwell? A.—It is reliable. Q.—What makes it reliable? A.—The chassis was designed five years ago to be extremely simple. Then we kept on making and mak- ing Maxwells all alike on this chassis year after year until now we have made 300,000 of them. Our policy is to do one thing well and thus ob- tain perfection. Q.—Have you changed the original design any? A.—Not in any single fundamental. We have added an improvement here and there from time to time—but no changes from our original program. Q.—Have there been any great chassis improvements in the last 5 years? A.—We believe not. There have been multi-cylinder cars and multi- valve cars; but in a car under $1000 we do not believe them to be practical. Q—How. much of the Maxwell car do you build? A.—We believe that we man'ufac-. ture more of the parts that go into our car than any other manufacturer. Note the illustration. not buy parts from others cheaper than you can build them? A.—In some cases yes; but not so good as we can build them. In other cases no, for we operate 8 great plants, have an investment that runs into many millions of dollars, carry a tremendous inventory, have a rapid “turnover” and a large one. Besides, we make parts for cars other than our own including some that cost in excess of $4000. Q.—Hasthe Maxwell every modern ‘ equipment? A.—Yes, even including the carry- ing of the gas tank in the rear. Q.—Have you improved the appear- ance of the Maxwell any? A.—Yes. We have made a vast improvement in the last few months —so much so that many persons thought we produced a'new model. This is drawn from a photograph without the slight- est exaggeration. Q.—How about parts? A.—There are $5,000,000 in parts carried by 2500 Maxwell dealers all over the United States. Q.—Will you reduce the present price if I buy a Maxwell now ? A.—No. The present price is - guaranteed until July. 4 Price $895 f. o. b. Detroit. MAXWELL MOTOR COMPANY, Inc., DETROIT Q—Why do you do this—can you .
