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.
