A Maxwell truck-which is a REAL truck, wornvdriven-sells at a price that can not be met in any other motor vehicle oflikeefficiency.durability.andeconomy. A Maxwell truck will cover 100 miles in a work day-twice the distance covered by two teams and two drivers. It will do this at an operating cost of less than that of one team of horses. Moreover, it is of a size and capacity adapted to the needs of almost every form and phaso of commerce, industry, or farming. The question is not, "Can I afford to have a Maxwell truck? " The FACT is, Mr. Business Man, you can not afford to be without one. ,..,. TYuefc ChanU fSSSi Chant with cab, wtnd.hUld, and Stah, Car. Body tSiO. INDEPENDENT AUTO CO. ST.
