The Maxwell Is Mechanically Right
We Waited Four Years To Say That
The makers of the Maxwell spent four years in developing the car. Patient, per
sistent, scientific refinement of one model —that was the method. An automobile
that beats the world for endurance, efficiency, economy—that’s the result.
You know the old story about the race between the hare
and the tortoise:
-—how the hare skipped about the fields—nibbled clover
tops—cut all kinds of capers, trying to “show off.”;
—how the tortoise stuck to his job—stayed in the middle
of the road—-kept on going—and won the race:
—you know t/ict story and its moral.
No Experiment in Maxwell Mechanism
Some automobile makers have run around after novelties
—like the hare, trying to add untried “improvements” which
operate better in advertising than on the car. -
But the Maxwell makers held fast to one model,
—and when some one made a big how-de-do about his
latest novelty, the Maxwell makers strengthened a pin,
—or simplified or improved a part of the Maxwell mechan
ism,
—or in other big and little ways developed, refined, per
fected the one Maxwell model.
So that, in the end, the Maxwell won by the tortoise method.
The Maxwell World Endurance Champion
A Maxwell stock car—a duplicate in every detail of your
Maxwell—without stopping the motor, traveled 22,022 miles
in 44 days and nights,
—and at a rate of 25 miles an hour and 22 miles per gallon
of gasoline.
No other vehicle built by human beings ever did anything
to compare with that feat.
The Economy Champion Too
P. D. Armour used to say that his packing houses “utilized
all the hog but the squeal.”
That’s the kind of economy you get in a Maxweli.
Roadster, $650; Touring Car, $665; Cabriolet, $865; Town

Mrs. Miriam Thayer Seeley, Professor at the Oregon Agri
cultural College, drove her Maxwell for 9,700 miles across the
continent and back,
—over every conceivable kind of road, across the desert and
over mountains,
—for $8.19 a month, including gasoline, oil and repairs.
Thousands of Maxwell owners get hard daily service out of
their cars at a cost of $6 to $8 a month.
That’s pretty near what the college professors call “an irre
ducible minimum.”
The Maxwell’s Great Vital Organs
There’s the frame—combining greatest strength with
est flexibility.
There’s the wonderful radiator, that does its work of cooling
at any speed and all the time.
There’s the world champion engine rugged, simple, with
power to spare.
There’s the great wear-proof clutch, running in oil—the
most efficient we know of—bar none.
There’s the transmission—simple, trouble-proof—self-lubri
cating.
And, besides, the Maxwell is a handsome, comfortable, com
pletely equipped car.
The Maxwell Is the Car You Want
The Maxwell at $665 f. o. b. Detroit indeed is every man*,
car.
All we ask is a chance to show you the Maxwell.
The car will prove every statement we’ve made.
The Maxwell is mechanically right
—and we know it.
