It is the proof of performance of every car. It is an actual test of motor, of lubrication, of springs, of steer- ing gear, of axle. It is the most severe test to which an automobile can be subjected. No car of ordinary mechanism can live through a 300- mile race, run at average speed of 91 miles an hour. Maxwell’s Victories on Speedways is Prooof of Durability and Depend- abilty. ¢ Winning the Omaha race was only one of the Maxwell’s many victories this year. The same construction which makes victory possi- ble on the Speedway makes the Maxwell foremost as a great family car. The family car, such as we are selling in Nebraska every day, has the same powerful motor, the same improved lubri- cating system, the same style of axles, the same general design and mechanism as the cars which have been invincihle on the speedways of the country the last few months. The Maxwell is priced so that every man can own it. It is built so that every family can use it. FRANCIS-CULLIS AUTO CO. Local Dealers 2024 Farnam St., Omaha, Neb.
