Facts
GET the facts on the operating cost
before you buy any automobile.
Find out the truth before net
after. - And don't be satisfied with hear
say or a salesman's' claims.'; The price of
gasoline is high; so is oil and there is surd
to be an increase in the cost cf all tires.
So, what you want is the car that will
give, you most miles per gallon of gasoline,
per gallon ofoil and per set of tires.
vHere are the facts proved by the Mas
well stock touring car that recently set the
World's Motor Non-Stop Record:
Maxwell World's Non-Stop Recprd FacU
Miles without a motor stop. . . . . . . . . .22,023
Average miles per day (44 days) . 500.6
Miles per gallon of gasoline. ............ 21.88
Miles per gallon of oil. ................. 400
Average miles per tire. .. .. .. ........... 9,871
. Remember that this was a Non-Stop
Endurance Record in orde to prove that
the Maxwell taf was, exceedingly .sturdy,
reliable and trouble proof.'
No attempt was jhade o'f could "t& famlC
. to save gasoline, oil or tires. So these fig-'
. ures merely indicate what would be possible
, under ordinary driving conditions.
Right now we have a. Maxwell we can
deliver to you, and if you don't want to
pay cash, make a deposit " and pay the
balance as you use the car. But don't put
it off. We know the Maxwell factory can't
get half enough freight cars to carry their
doubled output. : Later'' on Vwe may net
be able to supply you: Eur. we can

The best you can get is what you want, and while
there is no potash to be obtained at prices that
would justify farmers paying, you get a small
amount of potash in all mixtures made by us with
out the cost. There is from one-half to three
foui ths of one per cent of potash in our 8-4 and
9-3 mixtures, and we also give in these mixtures
12 per cent lime, which is so highly recommended
by the Agricultural Department. The prices for
these mixtures are the same, as others that have
no potash and lime.
In addition to these regular mixtures, we are
making 6-4, which is recommended by the State
Agricultural Department for cotton.
We are manufacturing a top dresser that will
meet the needs this season. Owing to the scarcity
of Nitrate of Soda, you will need to get the next
best top dresses at a reasonableprice. This is our
1916 Top Dresser, 3 per cent Phosphoric Acid, 8
per cent Ammonia. r-
Ask your dealer to turmsh you these mixtures
for making your 1916 crop. '
