CLOTHS PINS 5 dozen o NEW POTATOES % The average American family spends a great deal more than $6 or $8 a month on amusements and luxuries, most of which mean nothing—wouldn't even be missed. : If you owned a Maxwell you'd want to be out in it as i _much as possible —which automatically would cut out more than enough of the cost of other pastimes to cover the cost of running your Maxwell ' —and besides, you'd be living better, healthier, happier, in the great out o’ doors, —and you'd take your place in the world as the owner of @ motor car. That's what the brains behind the Maxwell have dome —given the world a car every man can own. An achievement! Isw't it? The Proof of These Statements There's no theory about these cost-of-operation figures. ‘They’re based on what thousands of Maxwell owners are ac- tually doing—running their cars on an absolute outlay of only $6 to $8 a month. These enthusiastic Maxwell owners tell us, too, that they get upwards of 30 miles out of a gallon of gasoline—many better than that. The Maxwell holds the world’s record for a non-motor- stop run. A Maxwell stock car made 22,022 miles in 44 days and nights—went 22 miles on every gallon of gasoline used [ on that long jaunt. I We ceuld tell of many other supreme tests of Maxwell 5 power, endurance and economy, bite, —momiBicent decds, never equalled by any other automo- ile, —but we'll cite just one more: A woman drove this Maxwell 9,700 miles. m Seeley, Professor at the Oregon Agricultural a 9,700-mile tour across the Continent and back FRISBIE-McCORMICK CO., Inc. 52 SHETUCKET STREET. Almost Every American Family Can Own a Maxwell Car Because it costs only $6 to $8 a month to run a Maxwell -much less than the average American family spends on luxuries And, remember, her journey was made on all sorts of reads —good and bad-—across the desert and over the mountains That's the Maxwell! Isn’t that the car for the man whe knows the worth of a dollar? The World’s Greatest Motor Car Value The Maxwell touring car, equipped with all accessories, costs you todl{ only $665 f. o. b. Detroit. Yet every bit of metal in it is the finest obtainable for the purpose used, and is rigidly subjected to the most advanced scientific t Material cost has risen tremendously. How, then, can the best be used in a car priced 0 low? The answer is— —the purchasing power of an institution as vast as the Maxwell Motor Company, —the most efficient machinery, —the brainiest and most skillful mechanics, vigilant and scrupulous technical and executive supervision, —and the development of one model, of time-tried and proved design, to as near perfection as brains and skill can make it. The Maxwell engine is = marvel of power and punch mple, steady, durable and flexible. Maxwell parts are all of known efficiency—not an experi- mental item in the whole car. Maxwell—a Car to be Proud of With refinement of finish, with grace and dignity of form and line—your Maxwell will show up splendidly alongside any It is roomy and comfortable, too. Let the Car Speak for Itself Come to our sales rooms and look the Maxwell over, —inspect the car thoroughly, inside and out, —ask us as many questions as you care to, —you needn’t take anything on faith, for cvery statement made here can be verified. The Maxwell will make good, and we know it.
