Pound for pound it equals the metal in any car built. The Maxwell is made of light-weight but strong metals. They had to be light because the mission of the Maxwell is economical transportation. They had to be strong because the Maxwell is built to carry just as heavy a passenger load over the same roads and at the same speed as any car, despite its price or size. Anv engineer will tell you that in getting that rare combination of strength with lightness high prices must be paid for the metals. Their use, however, repays the makers of the Maxwell in many ways because each car each day is winning friends. Today these friendships, expressed in terms of cars, are well on the road to 400,000. You cannot go back of these numbers any more than you can go back of the fact that the sun rises in the morning. They tell the story; and it's largely a story of what the Maxwell is made of fine metals. Waldo Anderson & .on Distributors H H ADITORIAL Arc you interested in purse-wisdom?
