The committee has deviated from former custom in that an entrance fee is to be charged every company that en- ters, $25 for engineg and $10 for hose reels. The mnna:einent of the park has agreed to allow each company that participates $20, therefore the entrance fee is practically nothing more than a guarantee of being pres- jent. The engine prizes will be: $100, $80, $60, $40, $30, $25, $20, $15, and $10, and for the hose reel races $25, $15 and $10. The judges selected Robertson. of Westerly: chester, of Riverside: Leroy R.

NOYES, Willimantic, C. H. PELLETT, Danielson, Norwich New London a Motor Car? That's easy to énswer—you want everything. that the ingenuity of man has s invented; that science could develop, and an American, accustomed to the best, desire. You want comfort to the pomt of luxury in riding qualities. You demand a car that in outward appearance is one you and your family can be proud to be seen in. You insist on artistic lines in a body that is in accord with the prevailing fashions. Upholstery that feels as easy as it looks—that is as durable as the best. And withal a finish in details and in the ensemble that looks the part your car is to play in your daily life. Speed, you desire, equal to any occasion and power equal to any emergency. Al these you may obtain in a motor car and at a price well within your reach—if you but select right. There’s the rub—how to decide, between those who claim everythigg, whxch car will fulfill the claims. For makers are not over-modest. There’s no patent on adjectives nor restriction on the use of words. . Every maker claims everything. How is one to decide? . After all, it isn’t so difficult. Just observe one rule—accept no claim that hasn’t been proven. You can see and test for yourself most of the quahtles you desire in a motor car. You can compare body lines. You can feel the upholstering. You can determme the quality of finish. By riding in it you can verify or disprove all claims as to spring suspension, balance and riding qualities. If you know how to drive any car you can drive it yourself and thereby test the handling and control—steering gear, shift, clutch, brakes, etc.—and responsive- ness of motor. All these are an open book to the man who will read and can interpret. So after all, you need only accept the word of the salesman for—well, for the most important facts. These are, the reliability of the car and its gasoline consumption. And there’s where the claims come in—for makers being human, and ‘busthess being competitive, there is a tendency to claim reliability unlimited—and fael economy to the vanishing point. Since this is so, what is the formula for accurate selection of a motor car? Proofs—that is the only certain way. “Claims are all right, but only proofs count”—that is the Maxwell slogan. Believing that every claim should be susceptible of incontrovertible proof—and believing it to be good business to claim only what we can prove— We have proven in official test, and before the whole world, those two most elusive but most important qualities—reliability and gasoline economy. In 44 days and nights running, during which the motor never stopped—the car every minute under the supervision of A. A. A. Officials—the Maxwell proved its wonderful reliability. That still stands the world’s record for reliability—the Official Record. In that same non-stop test, a standard, stock-model Maxzwell oovcred 22 022 miles * at an average speed of 25 mxlu per hom'. VL That also is the Official World’s long distance record. % Again: The Maxwell Motor Company offered $50,000 in Lib&ty Bonds to Maxwell owners all over the American Continent—Canada, the U. S. and Mexico —for an economy contest. . ; : More than 3000 Maxwell owners entered—and the average of all those Maxwells was 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. (That was for a U. S. standard gallon. Add 20 per cent mileage and you have 35.3 for a Canadian Imperial Gfll‘l\.fl STaEs That also stands a world’s record for gasoline economy. e S And remember, it wasn’t the performance of one especially adjustsl:car - average made by more than 3000 Maxwdh—-lsls, 16 and 17 mnddu.‘;“ .
