That's easy to answer you want everything that the ingenuity of man has
invented; that science could develop, and an American, accustomed to the best,
desire.
You want comfort to the point of luxury in riding qualities. " , '
YoiTdemand a car that in outward appearance one you and your family can
be proud to be seen in. ' . ;
You insist on artistic lines in a body that is in accord with the prevailing fashions.
Upholstery that feels as easy as it looks that is "as durable as the best.
And withal a finish in details and in the ensemble that looks the part your car is
to play in your daily life.
Speed, you desire, equal to any occasion and power equal to any emergency.
All these you may obtain in a motor car and at a price well within your reach if
you but select right. ... v
There's the rub how to decide, between those who claim everything, which car
will fulfill the claims.
For makers are not over-modest. There's no patent on adjectives nor restriction
on the use of words.
Every maker claims everything. How is one to decide?
After all, it isn't so difficult. Just observe one rule accept nb claim that hasn't
been proven. 1
You can see and test for yourself most of the qualities you desire in a motor car.
You can compare body lines. You can feel the upholstering. You can determine
the quality of finish.
By riding in it you can verify or disprove all claims as to spring suspension,
balance and riding qualities.
If you know how to drive any car you can drive it yourself and thereby test the
handling and control steering gear, shift, clutch, brakes, etc. and responsive
ness of motor.
All these are an open book to the man who will read and can interpret.
So after all, you need only accept the word of the salesman for well, for the
most important facts.
These are, the reliability of the car and its gasoline consumption.
And there's where the claims come in for makers being human, and business
being competitive, there is a tendency to claim reliability unlimited and( fuel
economy to the vanishing point. . V w
Since this is so, what is the formula for accurate selection of a motor car?
Proofs that is the only certain way. ,
"Claims are all right, but only proofs count" that is the Maxwell slogan. V
Believing that everyclaim should be susceptible of incontrovertible proof and
believing it to be good business to claim only what we can prove
We have proven in official test, and before the whole world, those two most
elusive but most important qualities reliabilitvand gasoline economy.
In 44 days and nights running, during which the motor never stopped the car
every minute under the supervision of A. A. A. Officials the Maxwell proved
its wonderful reliability. V' Z""' " "
That still stands the world's record for reliability the Official Record.
In that same non-stop test, a standard, stock-model Maxwell covered 22,022 miles
at an average speed of 25 miles per hour. 1
That also is the Official World's long distance record.
Again: The Maxwell Motor Company offered $50,000 in Liberty Bonds to4
Maxwell owners all over the American Continent Canada, the U. S. and Mexico
for an economy contest. vy
More than 3000 Maxwell owners entered and the average of all those tMaxwells
was 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. (That was for a U. S. standard gallon. Add
20 per cent mileage and you have 35.3 for a Canadian "Imperial Gallon.")
That also stands a world's record for gasoline economy. ' '
And remember, it wasn't the performance of one especially adjusted car, but an
average made by more than 3000 Maxwells 1915, 16 and 17 models.
Nor were they driven by factory employees or dealers the rules specified that
only actual owners or members of their families could compete.
So there's one car, in the selection of which you can be surer absolutely sure.
For what you cannot yourself see and examine and test, has been proven beyond
question. ij
You are invited to see and to ride in and to drive yourself, a Maxwell.
And. having done that having seen and tested all that can be confirmed in a
short time the official figures of those long-time, long-distance, reliability and .
economy tests are also available to you. ,
Then, if you are willing to accept mere verbal assertions in the selection of your
car that is your privilege, of course. '.' ' fc
But if you want a car that in official test has proven every claim made for it
that car must be a Maxwell.
