Perhaps the very fact that we never have made a claim for this car that has not been backed up by proof in the form of official records, accounts in part at least, for the pre dominance of Maxwells. Another reason and unquestionably a potent one is the fact that there are no freak feat ures, no -inventions, no radical innovations in this product We do not attempt to invent new devices or to supplant tried and proven units with others of our own discovery. Every unit in this Maxwell motor, clutch, transmission, axles, steering gear, etc. is of standard type though designed and made a little better, we believe, by the Maxwell organization. For five years this model has remained prac tically unchanged.
