Maxwell's Economy Triumph
of May 23 rd
Hundreds of Makwells on May 23rd made good our claim that a Maxwell will
go further on a gallon of gasoline than any other 5-passenger car. Now, from
June 16th to 30th, we expect 40,000 Maxwells to make as good or a better
showing than was made on historic May 23rd. Chance to Win a Liberty Bond
'"nil,
Five Passenger Touring Car, $755 F. O. B. St. Helens
We told you to watch the Maxwells with the one-gallon
red gas tanks attached to the windshields.
We told you they were going to make history on May
23rd.
That was Maxwell Gasoline Economy Contest Day all
over the United States and Canada.
And those Maxwells did make history
achieved a triumph we defy the world to beat.
Fifty Maxwell cars went a total of 1,983.6 miles on a
total of 50 gallons of gasoline.
The average gallon mileage of these cars was .59.67.
And these weren't specially built cars.
They were privately owned Maxwells.
in actual daily use by the men who bought them.
892 Maxwell Cars Prove
What Maxwell Economy Is
Those 982 cars covered 24,505.3 miles in the aggregate
on one gallon of gasoline each.
They averriged 27.47 miles each per gallon cl gasoline.
More wonderful records are being received daily.
We could rest our laurels on this great triumph
but we don't intend to tio that.
Nobody else can beat It
so we're going to beat it ourselves.
$50,000 in U. S. Liberty
Bonds to be Given Away
Inspired by the splendid success of the Maxwell dealers'
ecpnomy contest of May 23rd
we're offering now $25,000 in U. S. Liberty Bonds as

mileage on one gallon of gasoline. Every Maxwell

Uncle 81 says: "Nancy an me beam

would like to git our names In the

Bkotch plud skirts what she bed

she hod seen some pikters In a paper,
an' I put on my clean patched over

so faBt afore. As wo kum along by
blacksmith korner one of them ere
go-devlls (motorcycle) kum up be
hind on' chonkonked an most
skeered the life out of Nancy and me
hoss. I thot he sure would arrest
us as that 'ere Iiobs was on the lope,
but no: 'he never peered to see us.
., -while Mr. Havllk kum along
with that 'ere hoss of hlsn what goeB
on three legs. He was dellverln' a
bale of hay and that lame hoss sure
was ogoln' some. Nancy an' me
snickered fcos we thot Havllk wfs
speedln', but that air rlstorkratlc kop
went like mUchlef round him and
never slowed up to tip his hat. He
was arter one o' them mobiles that
was cuttln' the wind whiz! how lis
went and ahead of that machine, and
who did he ketch? Why, Miss Eva
West, that won second prize tn Kol
umbla kounty fer the best essay on
why the 16,000.000 bond should
karry. Neer as I kan remember, she
mentioned all the points In favor of
good roads, sept speed road. Now
we kinder think she wants to vote
gainst the bonds, an' good roads an'
everything; bat anyhow she did beg
that kop to let her off this here one
time and if be will, she vowd she
never never sever would speed
again!
"Then along kum A. E. Lund, of
Warren, and he kum whixxln' past
and that heartless kop got btm, too.
He kum over with the cash be Intend
ed to use to buy a Liber tee bond. Now
he'll be brot up afore the grange,
taxpayers league and farmers' union
and some other lodges that air
against speedln'. Then kum an otto,
like litnin', so fast Nancy an' me just
held tight to our breath an' sot on
that boss skeered to death. Then the
kop run him a race. Oh, sdeh goin'!
It beat the Ben Hur chariot race. The
feller In the otto got out at a konfec
tlonary store to eat Ice cream or
somethln' and that kop walked right
up and says he, 'You'r me man. You
was speedln' makin' 4! miles an
'our.' The man set up straight and
stuck his eyes out and aald, 'Not me.
Where Is your authorltee?' The kop
showed a purty star, and the man
says, say he, real loud and with
force. 'Oh, you've got nothin' on me.
I am the mayor of 8t. Helens. 'All
right,' said the sassy kop 'kum along.'
And he took that man to St. Helens
and took five dollars away from him.
Now I don't see why he couldn't been
friendly and arrlsted Havllk and took
his bale of hay and Nancy and me
and took our green onions, kaus atnt
