A Timely Warning
Ei.EVEN well-known automobiles have advanced in price within the
last ninety days.
The Maxwell Company has not increased their prices. ' We do
not know v. hat their plans are, but we do know and you know that
materials entering into the construction of good automobiles now cost
from 20 to 300 per cent more than they did six months ago.
Nothing is to be gained by delay. Much may be lost.
Not only may you lose several dollars in the purchase price, but
you are sacrificing the enjoyment, the relaxation, the health-giving prop
ertieseverything, in fact, that makes motoring die favorite pastime of
the nation.
We urge you to come in and investigate the Maxwell
Or, we will refer you to any number of Maxwell owners and let
them tell you their own story in their own way.
They will tell you what they have told us. That the Maxwell is
good looking that it is powerful that it is comfortable that it is
economical in short, that it is the best investment they ever made.
They will tell you more and they will tell you gladly and freely.
That's the way they feel toward us and the Maxwell Car.
Whatever you do, don't put this off. We have a few cars on hand
and can take orders for immediate or future delivery at present prices.
If you can't come in today, phone us for a Maxwell demonstration.
