A Handsome Car
WHEN you pay several hun
dred dollars for an automo
bile, why not get a good
looking one—one that you will be
proud to own, proud to drive and
proud to take your friends out in?
Maxwell owners have a just pride in
the handsome appearance of their
automobile for Maxwell Motor Cars
have the same attractive lines, the
same graceful design as the higher
priced types.
In addition to good looks you
want, of course, a reliable, sturdy and
economical car. But there is no
doubt in your mind on these points
since the Maxwell a short time ago
established the World’s Motor Non-
Stop Mileage Record. Any car that
can run continuously for 44 days and
nights, averaging 500 miles per day—
-22,000 miles in all and without once
stopping the motor —is bound to be a
well designed and well made car
• Any car that can perform such ‘a
wonderful feat on an average of one
gallon of gasoline to every 22 miles is
bound to be an economical car.
We have such confidence in the
Maxwell car and the company be
hind it that we are willing to sell
these cars on partial payments —
and deliver the car to you when you
make the first deposit. In justice
to yourself you ought to know more
about the Maxwell car and our
pay-as-you-ride plan. All we ask
is the opportunity to tell you.

DISTRIBUTORS FOR
PREVENTION OF COLLAR SORES
Dr. W. M. Burson, Prof. Vet Med., Ga.
State College Of Agriculture.
Collar sores on horses and mules
constitute a serious source of trou
ble during the spring months when
the animals are put to work after con
siderable idleness during winter. At
tention to the proper fit of the collar
We repair the Most Delicate
and hames, together with daily care
in keeping the collars clean and
smooth, will do much to avoid the
trouble. Daily bathing of the shoul
ders with cold salt water is beneficial.
Sugar of lead one ounce; sulphate
of zinc one ounce; water one quart,
mixed together, makes a valuable ap
plication for healing and toughening
the skin.
The mane at top of neck where the
collar rests should not be clipped off.
