Yet that is the picture which a little journey through the eight great Maxwell plants supplies. If they built but that one car in a day its cost to you would represent a king’s ransom. But they are so wellorganized, their work so very definite, they are so expert in the special one thing they do, and they are aided by so many thousands of uncanny and superhuman machines, whose accuracy is down to 1/1000 of an inch, that you pay but a small price for a Maxwell. A great aid to the economy of manufacture is the use of many, many millions of dollars so that a 10-cent piece saved on a bit of material often runs into amaz- ing figures. Thus the big staft of purchasing ex- perts for Maxwell become your purchasing experts and the saving goes on to you in the price. $985 is indeed a small sum to pay for a great value in a great car like Maxwell.
