Buddie, said the professor, can
you tell me what a saloon is?
Yes, sir. A saloon is where the
devil in some old human disguise
welcomes you in at one door, gets
your hard earned money, then
kicks you out at the other. Ain’t
I right?
The trimmings on the clothes
of a vain world would clothe all
of the naked ones.
You know I don’t believe in
fighting if I can keep from it. And
never would I care to hurt any
body, but I would like to be right
close to that old German Kaiser
with a baseball bat, and when he
goes to harping on what he and
God are going to do, just swat him
right ker-dab in the mouth and
kiiock those gorilla teeth about
eighteen inches down his goozle.
Treacherous old devil.

A truck must submit, and PASS, ,
the acid test of COST. Ef
That is the test we want you to apply
E to the one-ton Maxwell truck —its first [J
cost—and its operating cost.
A Maxwell truck—which is a REAL | I
truck, worm-driven—sells at a price that
can not be met in any other motor vehicle [ J
of like efficiency, durability, and economy.
v/ • Fyfl
A Maxwell truck will cover 100 miles
in a work day—twice the distance
covered by two teams and two drivers.
Vy \ v'/'m
It will do this at an operating cost of
less than that of one team of horses.
Moreover, it is of a size and capacity
adapted to the needs of almost every
form and phase of commerce, industry, f 1
or farming. I 1
. The c uestion is not, “ Can I afford to
have a Maxwell truck ? ” j j
The FACT is, Mr. Business Man, you
can not afford to be without one. f 1
