DETROIT There are visions—near and then—in bod ness and industry. The Maxwell motor car is a wonderful vision that has been made real. The fixed purpose of the Msswul baSuort was in the beginning, and is now, to produce a ear which would be, in the highest seuse, effi cient, durable, economical, comfortable sum! standard in equipment. Many years experience in production on a vast scale has taught the Maxwell manufac turers two things. One ie that such a car am they have always made their aim—a car in which efficiency, durability, economy, comfort, beauty and stand ard equipment are all present—cannot be built for less than $745 with materials at their present prices. The other lesson is that, for more than $745, they could not give you anything more than the Maxwell now has— except greater size or luxuries, pure and simple. In other words they are convinced—and they have convinced us—that they have found the great MIDDLE LINE where you get dollar for dollar in ABSOLUTE VALUE. J. L.
