It doesn't cost a fortune to buy a
Maxwell. Yet it Is a sum to command
a man's best judgment.
Ydu can pay more and get less.
You can pay $100, $200, $300 even
$400 more and find no more luxury
than you get In a Maxwell.
It has every modern Improvement,
every modern device of cars costing
many hundred dollars more.
And If you pay less you Willi get
less. Less room, for instance. Less
Comfort. Less power. Less wheel
base. Less ability. Less luxury.
In most things you buy, whether it
be a hat, shoes, dining-room furni
ture, or a house, there Is always a
meeting ground between luxury and
economy.
Maxwell happens to be that partic
ular point in a motor car.
You get the luxury without the big
cost; and the economy without being
cramped for a place to put your feet.
It is true that a Maxwell will not
give you excessive speed. But it will
run years after a speed car has been
sold to a second-hand dealer.
It will not snort with a terrific
power roar but It will give you every
thing you ask on a hill.
You can start it quicker than a
bigger car; you can change a tire in
a car in which luxury
and economy meet
lew time; you can beat a trail from
one ocean to another In less time;
you can run away from a bigger car
in traffic.
Maxwell will cause you little wor
ry, for It Is built, like the mountains,
to last.
And all of this is due to a plan
worked out more than 5 years ago by
Maxwell executives.
This plan was to build a very sim
ple car, one easy to manufacture, one
easy to drive and take care of, one
that would be everlastingly efficient.
There was but one way to do this;
and that was to put it into manufact
ure, never change the original design,
constantly Improve, and keep on mak
ing better and better.
This plan has worked well. In 5
years 300,000 Maxwells have been
built all on the original chasls plan.
Today you get a better Maxwell
than a year ago; and trying to buy a
last year's Maxwell very often Is like
trying to buy a family heirloom.
Part of the sum saved through the
obvious economy of a 300,000 "run"
is put Into the luxury of the car. The
rest goes Into your pocket.
And $200 saved, as the Scotch say,
is $200 earned Just as big in your
pocket as anyone else's. $895 f. o. b.
