You have never jJeen an advertisement featuring the service performed by the Maxwell Motor Company
in "Helping to win the war. '.' ;
Nor will you. We do not believe in capitalizing our loyalty to our country.
Nor has our patriotism been as profitable as would have been our normal, legitimate, peace-time business.
Maxwell factories were, when needed, devoted to war work just 100 per cent.
Let it go at that. '
We did not capitalize a deplorable condition nor take advantage of it to put a fictitious price on the
Maxwell ; , ,
Which brings us to the point on which we wish to stat e some plain facts.
Itecently you have seon announcements
of price reductions on some makes of no
. tor cars.
These seeming reductions (we use the
Jerm "looming" advisedly!) have given
the average buyer an erroneous impres
sion. That impression is to the effect that the
price of motor cars generally Is above nor
mal and will come down In the near future.
. Now, as a matter of tact, that is not tho
condition at all.
There Is no warrant for any such as
sumption. Just analyze the situation yourself and
see if our stutemonts are Justified.
ltecall the prices that existed on certain
makes -of automobiles before the United
States went Into tho war and compare the
' prices of thoso same cars today.
You'll find that any reductions that have
been mado woro necessary.
In a word, they apply only to cars that
were over-priced war-tlmo priced be
, foro such reductions, . .
For example: Consider four makes of
cars that formerly were' priced in close
competition with tho Maxwell.
Compare their pro-war (normal) prices;
their war-time "peak" prices, and their
present "reduced" prices.' We'll designate
them '"A," "D," "C," and "D."
Pre-War War-Tlmo Present .
Price "Peak" Price
Car "A"
Car "B"
Cur "C"
Car "D"
$790.00
990.00
G;13.00
725.00
"Peak"
Price
$1095.00
12S5.O0
SfiS.OO
9S5.00
?9S3.O0
11S5.00
745.00
. 9S5.00
From tho above it Is clear that some
"reduced" prices are still too high.
For when the price of a product was in
creased by 33 per cent and then dropped ,
back ten per cent, you can't say it lias yet
been put back where It belongs!. ' :
And that Is Just what happened In sev
eral casos.
Just consider a moment:
If a maker Is able to drop buck to "pre
war" prices today, on what bnls did lie
Justify his wni-Ume price? Anil ospeclnlly
Ills most recent wnr-tlmo "peak" prico?
Certainly ho bought no materials whilo
wo were in tho war ho could not. '
If ho bought them beforo, then ho bought
them at the same rates e 1U1!
In thnt enso there was no real reason for
Ills excessive wnr-timo "peak" prlco.
If ho cannot Justify his prices of yester
day, can you accept his statements today?
Tho only gauge you hnve ns to the ln-
trlnslo vnlue of his product Is llspre-war
prlco.
Especially is this so If the model he is .
offorlng you today is precisely the same
model ho offored you then, but at 20 to 25
per cent advance now over his then prices
(oven after his recent reduction).
Is It not logical to assume that, as his price
yesterday was fictitious. It Is still almost
equally so? '
It costs more to build a motor car today
than it did a year ago.
Materials are higher wages are higher.
All costs are higher.
It will continue for a long time on the
present scale we believe.
Tell you why.
Materials are now in demand by the
whole world will continue to be during
the years of reconstruction In Europe. ,
Especially Is this so In the case of steel,
copper and other materials.
Rubber also will likely range higher.
Rubber Is the biggest single item of cost
in a motor car and it Is in great demand.
Wages will never go back to the pre-war
scale.
Every student ot the problem Is now
agreed upon that.
You have read in the newspapers lately
tho statement by the United States Steel
Corporation that that concern is not going
to reduce wages and that concern Is the
biggest employer of labor in the world.
It Is well! pass the prosperity around
and we will all get our share.
If the mechanic gets more pay, all lines
of business benefit and more people are
ablo to buy motor cars.
Wo can. see no reason to expect that the
cost ot manutacturing a Maxwell Motor
Car will be less In a year from now than It
Is today.
War or no war, the prlco of the Maxwell
product would have been precisely what It ,
Is today. '
Wte did take advantage of the War-time
condition but only to Incorporate' In this
now model several changes and improve
ments. Factory busy on war work, our engineers
and tool makers had a brief respite and
we used that to perfect the Maxwell pro
duct. We have spent more than $100,000 on
special tools for more accurate finishing of
parts.
Cylinders are now ground after reaming
; formerly only reamed. That is only one
of many similar refinements.
This now 1919 model Maxwell, deliver
ies ot which will begin Immediately, Is a .
superior product.
, It Is a larger car a more commodious
body.
Gasoline tank Is at rear instead ot under
trout seat costs more, worth it.
The new Pantosote top adds greatly to
appearance as well as to serviceability.
Graceful In design. In quality the best.
' Seats are deeper, softer better springs,
better materials.
' Maxwell Motor Cars do not belong to tho
"Cheap Car Class." This product Is the
undisputed leader In the Refined Car Class.
By "refined" we mean in a mechanical
sense. . .
Maxwells are not made to tit a pre-deter-"mlned,
nor to meet a competitive, price.
They are designed to fill a certain def
inite demand for a light car of quality
internally as well as in outward appear
ance, i
We first make the car as it should b
made, then set tho price.
We do not cut our price, to meet tht
price of a car of inferior quality.
Kor did we, as we have shown, take ad
vantage of a War-time excuse to raise the
price to a fictitious figure.
Had the war continued and we had not
made another car, the buyer ot tho last
Maxwell would have paid the regular price
and no more.
The Maxwell policy is clean and it is
consistent we are not "opportunists" in
business. . , , , ,
Those changes and refinements In this
new 1919 model actually cert more than
the difference between Jts price and that of
the 1918 model.
So the price of this new Maxwell should
have been more.
But we are content to accept a smaller
, margin of profit per car In the Interest of
greater volume so have continued that
price on this 1919 model.
' There are today more Maxwells in hands
of users than of any comparable car we
are counting on the splendid quality wiin
tho low price of this latest model to main
tain that leadership.
... "But talk is all right," you say.
. You want something definite, something
tangible to tie to.
Very well here is your guarantee. , ; '
J"rico of tho Maxwell Motor Car today
(Touring or Roadster model) is ?893.00
f . o. b. Detroit, Michigan, and wo abso
lutely guarantee that price until June next,
1910.
Every Maxwell dealer is authorized to
give you that guarantee in writing at the
timo of purchase of your car.
Some makers have announced reduc
tions others will follow.
So far, however, we have seen no real
reductions though there have been some
genuine increases of price since tho war
closed. There will be more of the latter,
too! '
" In buying a Maxwell Motor Car you
know precisely where you stand.
And our guarantee of the price is your
best guarantee of the intrinsic value of
this product. .
So buy the Maxwell you need get your
order in early.
Maxwells may go to a premium prico
may hnve to be increased but we guaran
tee you absolutely against a reduction. ,
