A Hand,
some jar
WHEN you pay several hun
dred dollars for an automo
bile, why not get a good
looking one one that you will be
proud to own, proud to drive and
proud to take your friends out in?
Maxwell owners have a just pride in
the handsome appearance of their
automobile for Maxwell Motor Cars
have the same attractive lines, the
same graceful design as the higher
priced types.
In addition to good looks you
vant, of course, a reliable, sturdy and
economical car. But there is no
doubt in your mind on these points
since the Maxwell a short time ago
established the World's Motor Non
stop Mileage Record. Any car that
can run continuously for 44 days and
nights, averaging 500 miles perMay
22,000 miles in all and without once
stopping the motor is bound to be a
well designed and well made car.
Any car that can perform such a
wonderful feat on an average of one
gallon of gasoline to every 22 miles is
bound to be an economical car.
We have such confidence in the
Maxwell car and the company be
hind it that we lire willing to sell
these cars on partial payments
and deliver the car to you when you
make the first deposit. In justice
to yourself you ought to know more
about the Maxwell car and our
pay-as-you-ride plan. All we ask
is the opportunity to tell you.

WHILE the wide scats ami (loop upholstery are
partly accountable for the supreme comfort you feel
when riding in Saxon "Six" at ,$015, the chief reason
lies in the long vanadium steel cantilever springs
that gently cradle the car over the roughest roads.

The subject of ignition is broil d, ar
it embodies both various types of
magnate ignition and buttery igni
tiou. In many instances one lias both
systems incorporated in one ear. In
this case the motor is started on the
battery and as soon as the motor is
well under way, the operator throws
a switch onto the magneto system. In
this way the ear-owner snves the cur
rent from his battery and at the same
time the motor is more roadilv start

complete treatise on each type of
magneto construction used in the present-day
motor cur owing to the types
of mngnotoos. Tho majority of mag

battery system fin- the reason that the

Tlus $250 to $400 represents the difference be
tween the price of a Studebaker and the price
of any other car that equals it in value.
The reasons for this difference are immaterial to
you as a buyer. What you WANT is the car
that gives the most for its price. xnd when you
find, as you will, that cars with the same power
size and quality that the SERIES 17 Stude
bakers offer, cost hundreds of dollars more
make the salesman tell you WHY.
If a car gives no more, there's no reason at all
for paying: a higher price, is there? Just see
these SERIES 17 Studebakers. Make your own
comparisons with other cars then ask the other
salesmen why THEY want from $250 to $400
more than the Studebaker prices? Thirty min
utes spent in making such comparisons will save
you several hundreds of dollars.
