Extravagant Asserti
WHO WAS the “biggest” general in the world! Napoleon,
he conquered Europe—and he was five-feet-three!
WHO ANAS the “biggest” statesman in the world! Bis
marck, he built the German Empire—and he was six-
feet-four!
SO YOU SEE MERE SIZE DOESN’T determine who nor
what is biggest- It is achievement that confers that
title “biggest.”
WE MAINTAIN that the biggest automobile in the world
is the one that does the biggest things—and does bigger
things than a bigger car can do at the same cost.
AND THAT CONFERS THE TITLE on the Maxwell

confirm the statement.
And Standard Oil divide
CUT THE WEIGHT IN TWO and you divide the upki
cost by four! Get that—it’s the kernel.
BUT WE’RE A NATION of aristocrats—no matter h
we protest we’re democratic, we are aristocrats. Evi

pride, plus—more per capita than any other people
the world-
“25,” w'hich sells for $750, and which, though of ample
capacity for carrying five full grown adults anywhere
any car will go, yet weighs only 1,650 pounds.
TIHS CAR CANNOT BE CALLED either small or large—
in inches- It is neither a Napoleon nor a Bismarck in
physical proportions—but is a combination of both in
efficiency and—in competition.
IT IS THE MOST FORMIDABLE rival other cars have
ever encountered.
ITS CONQUESTS have embraced the territory formerly
held by both the very cheap, and the overly-large, un-
derly-efficient cars, selling for $1,000 and more.
IT CONQUERS because it meets the needs and the ideas of
the majority of informed buyers. It appeals at the
same time to the logic of oommon sense and the sense
of the beautiful.
ITS BEAUTY is shown in looks and in performance—
handsome is as handsome does—and handsome as is.
THE BUYER WHO must take a peep into the purse before
buying, here finds a car within his reach and made to
his heart’s desire.
ON THE OTHER HAND, the buyer who is easily able to
pay the first cost, but whose experience has taught him
to look still more closely into maintenance cost after
ward, finds in this 1,650-pound, five-passenger car the
one he lias been looking for—because it will do all any
2,600-pound car will do—and more—and at half the up
keep cost-—or less.
AND SO IT HAPPENS that your American demands m
than mere utility in the car he buys—he wants style
well as size.
A FEW YEARS AGO a lot of misguided persons hat
brilliant idea. They maintained that the “farm'
car” had not yet been built.
WHEN ASKED TO SPECIFY, they said the fanner’s
should look like a farm wagon or a dump cart—or so:
other familiar vehicle.
THEY MADE A FEW of those ridiculous, hi
wheeled, air-cooled “putt-putters,” and gleefully
vited the farmer to come and see.
SO
FARMERS DIDN’T COME—they were too busy inspe
ing the latest improvements in real automobiles,
the high-wheeler soon went out of business.
THAT PROMPTED US one day to make a little investij
tion and to compile a few statistics—and what do ?
