A preacher at the close of one of his sermons, said: “Let all in thoe house who are paying their debts stand up.” Presently every man, woman and child, with one exception, rose to their feet. The preacher seated them and said: “Now, every man not paying his debts stand up.” The excep tion, a careworn, hungry-looking individual, clothed in his last sum mer’s suit, slowly assumed a per pendicular position. “How is it, my friend,” asked the minister, “you are the only man not able to meet his obli gations?” “I run a newspaper,” he an swered, “and the brethren here who stood up are my subscribers, and —” “Let us pray.” exclaimed the minister. “What is your name, little boy? inquired the kindergartner of her new pupil. “I don’t know,” said the little boy bashfully. “Well, what does your father call you?” “I don’t know,” still more bash fully. “How does your mother call you when the griddle cakes are done?” “She don’t call me,” beamed the new pupil; “I’m there already.” Harold, age 6, had some trouble with the children of a neighbor.

Reliability OUR absolute faith in the Max well car is due to two reasons: First, we have known that the Maxwell Company uses nothing in the entire car but the very best that money can buy. We have known that the steel is scientifically heat treated, that the car is built under the supervision of able engi neers, that every car is rigidly tested many times before it leaves the factory. Second, we have known that the big and well established company behind the car is building for the future, that they value a satisfied owner above everything else. Now that the Maxwell has set the World’s Motor Non-Stop Mileage Record, by travelling continuously for 44 days and nights —averaging 500 miles per day —you will under stand the benefits you personally may derive from the Maxwell policy. Did you ever hear of any car going 22,000 miles without once stopping the engine, without any repairs or readjustments, with only one gallon of gasoline to every 22 miles? There is no reason why you shouldn’t have a reliable, service able and economical Maxwell car. The first cost is low, the operating cost is low and our pay-as-you-ride plan makes the purchase easy for everyone. Let us see you about this now, before our allotment is exhausted.
