government is able to relieve the American forces of the

White House officials deny this flatly. '

GET the facta on the operating cost ,
before you buy any automobile
Find out, the truth before-not
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 ia sure
to be an increase in the cost of all tires.
So, whatVou want 3 the car i
give you most miles per gallon of gasoline,
per gallon of oil and per set of tires. ,

Remember that this was a Non-Stop

the Maxwell ccr was exceedingly sturdy, '

No attempt was made or could.be made
to save gasoline, oil or tires. So thess fig

make tho mistake of your life if you bought any other engine. '
Gasoline and kerosene engines burn about-the same amounts

than kerosene. , " V- ; , ...
: A GIL P. engine, gasoline or kerosene, burns 700 to 800 gallons

of gasoline would cos you about $175, while 800 gallons of kerosene
costs but $96. or thereabouts. . ' - . .
