Any maker may ckaim for his product all‘the qualities there are. That is his
privilege. He imay even think his claims.are justified.
You read the advdrtisements, so you know; that makers, as a rule, are not over
modest in that regard. ‘
If you believe them all, they all make super-cars. o
In your experience, that theory doesn’tjhold. \
Maxwell is differenit.
We never claim anything we cannot prove.
As a matter of fact we never have clafmed anything for this Maxwell that has
not already been proved in public test and under official observation.
Maxwell claims are not therefore cleims in the ordinary sense—they are state
ments of fact—proven facts.
They are, in every case, matters of official record attested under oath.
For example: The famous 22,000-mile Non-Stop run was made with the
Maxwell every minute under observation of the A. A. A. officials.
That still remains a world® recosd—the workd’s record of reliability. ;
That particular test proved aboutiall that anyone could ask or desire of a motor
car.
Among other things it still standsithe world’s long distance speed record.
Just consider—44 days .and nights;without a stop, at an average speed of 25
miles per hour!
And that, not by a. 52,000 car, but'by’a stock model Maxwell listing at $825.-
You will recall perhaps that a famous high powered, high priced six in a trans
continental trip made 28 miles average over a period of five days and eleven
hours.
Now compare those two feats—one ‘of less than six days, the other of 44 days.
You know automobiles—which was the greater test? :
Is there any comparison on grounds;either of speed or endurance?
Proves you don’t need to pay motre than $825 to obtain all the qualities you
can desire in a motor car—if you select a Maxwell.
For that Maxwell Non-Stop run was made, not on a track but over rough
country roads and through city traffic—average of all kinds of going.
And—Tlisten to this.,
So certain were we of the condition of the Maxwell at the end of that great
feat, we announced that at the stroke of eleven on a certain morning, the car
would stop in front of the City Hall, Los Angeles, for the Mayor to break the
seal.
Five seconds after he had pulled the switch plug and stopped the motor after the
44 days and nights continuous running, she was started again and off on a
thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers.
How is that for precision—certainty of action? That incident brought a storm
of applause from the assembled thousands.
Hill climbing?—this Maxwell holds practically‘every record worth mentioning-—
especially in the West where the real hills are.
The Mount Wilson record—nine 'and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation!—was
taken by a stock Maxwell.
Two months ago a 12-cylinder car beat that record by two minutes.
Then—three days later—a stock Maxwell' went out and beat that 12-cylinder
record by thirty seconds! 'Pretty close going for such a distance and such a
climb—wasn’t it?
So Maxwell still holds the Mount Wilson honors.
Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time—a stock Maxwell aganst
any stock or special chassis. ,
Economy—also a matter of official record. :
Others may claim—Maxwell proves.
Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States on the same day
averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline.
Not dealers or factory experts, mind you, but owners—thousands of them -
driving their own Maxwells. ’
Nor were they new Maxwells—the contest was made by 1915, 16, and 17 models,
many of which had seen tens of thousands miles of service—three years’ use.
Nor could they choose their own road or weather conditions—a!l kinds were
encountered in the various sections of the country. .
Good roads and bad—llevel country and mountainous regions—heat and cold—
sunshine and rain—asphalt and mud.
And the average was 29.4 miles per gallon!
There’s economy for you. And under actuallaverage driving conditions—not
laboratory test.
But that isn’t all. :
The greatest achievement of this Maxwell was’in its showing of speed and relia
bility and economy all in the same run.
In that 44 days-and-nights Non-Stop run, though no thought was given to
either speed or economy, it still remains a fact of official record that the Maxwell
averaged 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles per hour.
Now you know that speed costs—and that economy tests are usually made at
slow-speed—closed-throttle, thin-mixture conditions. ;
You know too that you can obtain economy of fuel by building and adjusting
for that one condition.
Speed you can get by building for speed. Any engineer can do that.
But to obtain that combination of speed and economy with the wonderful
reliability shown in that 44-days Non-Stop run—that car must be a Maxwell.
