Another item we glean from the

The trainmen are not on trial in
this controversy. Neither are the
railroads of the United States. Dem

Wilson was a poor lawyer for the

When you buy a Maxwell, yo'ir investment is com

In addition you get a car of proved endurance, of
unusual economy. And behind these qualities there
is the record and reputation of the Maxwell, which is
second to nona.
We insist and will prove to you that the Maxwell is
the world's greatest motor car value.
