Ina great organization like the Maxwell Motor “Company which, in four years, has done a business in excess of $100,000,000, there are many great minds. - ; These great minds have found a way to make trucks stronger, yet lighter in weight (more thought and less metal went into the truck). These great minds have found ways to build them better, yet at less cost.
