Any maker may claim for his product all the qualities there are; That is his
privilege. He ;may even think his claims are justified.
Yqu read the advertisements, so you know that makers, as a rule, are not over
modest in that regard.
If you believe them all, they all make super-cars.
In your experience, that theory doesn't hold. v
Maxwell is different.
We never claim anything we cannot prove.
As a matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that has
not already been proved in public test and under official observation.
Maxwell claims are not therefore claims in the ordinary sensfi they are state
ments of fact proven facts.
They are, in every cae, matters of official record attested under oath.
For example; The famous 22,000-mile Non-Stop "run was made with the
Maxwell every minute under observation of the A. A. A. officials.
That still remains a world's record the world's record of reliability.
That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of a motor
car.
Among other things it still stands the world's long distance speed record
Just consider 44 days and nights without a stop, at an average speed of 25
.. miles per hour!
And that, not by a $2,000 car, but by a stock model Maxwell listing at $825.
You will recall perhaps that a famous high powered, high priced six in a trans
continental trip made 28 miles average over a period of five days and eleven
hours.
Now compare those two feats one of less than six days, the other of 44 days.
You know automobiles which was the greater test?
Is there any comparison on grounds either of speed'or endurance?
Proves you don't need to pay more than $825 to obtain all the qualities you
can desire in a motor car if you select a Maxwell.
For that Maxwell Non-Stop run was made, not on a track but over rough
country roads and through city traffic average of all kinds of going.
And listen to this. -
So certain were we of the condition of the Maxwell at the end of that great
feat, we announced that at the stroke of eleven on a certain morning, the car
would stop m front of the City Hall, Los Angeles, for the Mayor to break the
seal.
Five seconds after he had pulled the switch plug and stopped the motor after the
44 days and nights continuous running, she was started again and off on a
thousand mile jaunt to visit various Maxwell dealers.
How is that for precision certainty of action? That incident brought a storm
of applause from the assembled thousands.
Hill climbing? this Maxwell holds practically every record worth mentioning
especially in the West where the real hills are. .
The Mount Wilson record nine and one-half miles, 6,000 feet elevation! was
taken by a stock Maxwell.
... s
Two months ago a 12 -cylinder car beat that record by two minutes."
Then three days later a stock Maxwell went out and beat that 12-cylinder
record by thirty seconds! Pretty close going for such a distance and such a
climb wasn t it?
So Maxwell still holds the Mount Wilson honors.
Ready to defend it against all comers too, at any time a stock Maxwell against
any stock or special chassis.
Economy also a matter of official record.
Others may claim Maxwell proves. .
Thousands of Maxwell owners throughout the United States on the same dav
averaged 29.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. .
Not dealers or factory experts, mind ;-ou, but owners thousands of them
driving their own Maxwells.
Nor were they new Maxwells the contest was made by 1915, 16, and 17 models5'
many of which had seen tens of thousands miles of service three years' use. '
Nor could they choose their own road or weather conditions all kinds were
. encountered in the various sections of the country.
Good roads and bad level country and mountainous regions heat and cold1
sunshine and rain asphalt and mud. '
And the average was 29.4 miles per gallon! v
kboratoreT7 yU Undef actuaIeraSc conditions-not
But that isn't all.. 'S
The greatest achievement of this Maxwell waaTn itdionFof sp-ed aM r.a
ouity and economy all in the same run.
In that 44 days-and-nights Non-Stop run, though no thought was riven to
either speed or economy, it still remains a fact of official record that the Maxwell
averaged 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles per hour.
Now you know that speed cqsts and that economy tests are usually made at
slow-speed closed-throttle, thin-mixture conditions.
You know too that you can obtain economy of fuel by building and adiuslW
for that one condition. J 5
Speed you can get by building for speed. Any engineer can do that.
Bu.t,t.?. obt,ain that combination of speed and economy with the wonderful
reliability diown in that 44-days Non-Stop run-that car must be a Maxwell.
