The bodies are of exclusive de

panel and high, side open express
models. The Jatter type is par
ticularly adaptable to If he uses of
the' farmer as well as the city
merchants. The" pan4i body car,
which is . of unusually!! attractive
appearance, will undoubtedly find

Instead of swingingjon hinges
they slide on ball bearjlngs, paral

Other features whih add to
the " comfort and convenience of
the driver, are innovations found
only in the Maxwell goffering.
The cars are designed to carry
a load of-1000-pounds!; They are

among his salesmen , toj 'promote
the use of western oils by western

"So far as their actual! lubricat
ing value is concerned,?! said Mr.
Tostevin, at a special meeting of i
his organization, "the jonly dif
ference between eastern and west
ern oil Is one of price. I The dif
ference's from natural,.; economic
causes' and has nothing j whatever
to aff wun quality. The eastern
product,.' costs'-Jess for two very
simple, reasons; first, the volume
of production is much greater, and i
second being produced in the
west from western i crude, the!
freight rates are naturally much
lower ' than for , the Imparted east

.' "The fact Is that western motor
oil Is made from some of. the
finest crudes for ! the" purpose
which this country produces.-; As
a motor lubricant, ' It has the' en-
uui ociucni ui uuiuiuvuiie engineers-ot
the .bighest standing. The
inclination toward Easten oil is
explained by the fact that many
autombb'Hes and the majority of
motorists are - of eastern origin.
With characteristic j tenacity, they
cling to the Eastern oil habit.

that the tide of public opinion is

: i It is only reasonable to expect that
a product of this sort should prove
extremely popular for there is much

the fuel that wa sapplied a few
