I looked at John John looked at me; The time had come, we must decide. Which one should be our joy and pride. A modern, shiny motor car, TVould carry us both near and far, A handsome, comfy, speedy thing With motor rumbling promising.

Tub raiihonon. r what is lsft of it, stands upon tins Acropolis of Athens. Tlio most famous building on earth was erected under the administration uf Pericles about It. ('. 4 VI. ItH present ruinous condition was caused by the explosion of a bomb during the war between tbe Venetians mid Turks lu H1.S7. The l'nntbeon lit ltome was built by Agrlppa in . 0. -7 and, unlike the more beautiful toniple at Alliens, is still in h fair state of preservntiou. The Vuntlieon is, of course, well worth seeing botli for Us own sake and on account of Its historic Interest, but' i I, .lues not. bold the fame belonging to the Inconiparnblo building on the I Acropolis.

MMW Most Miles per Gallon - - Most Miles on Tires A Good Investment The Maxwell Motor Car "Webster" says: "Investment: the . laying out of money in the purchase of property, especially a source of income or profit." j We maintain that that definition exactly fits the purchase of a Max well. American Industries have hun dreds of millions of dollars invested in labor saving devices. That's what the automobile is to day a saver of human energy and time. And, friends, energy and time are you are your life. Can you afford to waste time and energy when you can run a Maxwell for $2 a week? You can drive a Maxwell 5,000. miles a year at a cost of $2 a week. This is not a theory. Scores of thousands of .Maxwell owners are doing it. In our great economy contest on May 23rd, last, 1,092 Maxwells av eraged 27.15 miles on a gallon of gasoline each. , In our great economy contest in June and July last, 2,040 Maxwells averaged 29.04 on one gallon each. The Maxwell engine holds the world endurance record 22,022 miles without stopping. - The Maxwell clutch runs in oil is wear-proof, smooth, efficient. Maxwell transmission is simple, trouble-proof. The mighty Maxwell axles stand the strain of the road. Every vital part is built to do its work smoothly and well for years. Whether for farm or city use, the Maxwell is your car.
