THE RELIABLE
MAXWELL AUTO
WHAT THIS MAKE OF MACHINE DID AT The
SAVANNAH SPEED CONTEST.


we'll cars entered in the International
Light Car Race at Savannah. Ca.
recently is pronounced by experts as
little short of phenomenal. The fol-
lowing telegram sent to the company
illustrates The WONDERFUL RELI-
ABILITY OF MAXWELL CARS.
I Only complete team finishing
either American or foreign. who had
more than one car entered, making
most CONSTANT run of the race. at
over as miles per hour, finishing 9Th.
9TH. 9Th and 9th in field of II
starters.
| According to the official report of
the race. No other American make
finished with all cars intact.
The average speed per lap of all
cars in the race that finished was
estimated by committee. The total
variation from this figure an all 20
laps is computed and record as fol-
lows:
Kelsey. Maxwell. No. IL, varied
1856 seconds.
billiard. Laucia No. 2, varied 413
seconds.
See. Maxwell No. 9, varied 4ss
seconds.
Hearne. Buick No. IL. varied 726
seconds
Poole. Isotta. No. 6. 754 seconds.
Lorimer. Chambers No. 10, varied
1913 seconds.
Burman. Buick No. 8, varied 1902:
seconds.
Per lap this variation reduces to
No. II, Maxwell, 9 BIO seconds; No2
Laucia, 20 1920 Sec. Maxwell. No.
8, "a 2-5 Sec. lsotta No. 6. IS 1-5
sec.: Buick No. IL, SO $40 sec. ;
Chalmers No. 10. so 7-1O sec. ).
Buick No. 8, 60 lilo sec.
These figures made by Kelsey, See.
and billiard stand out with. startling
significance when compared with the
rest Of the field. In every way the
Maxwell distinguished itself once
more. Absolute reliability in hav-
ing all four cars finish, and for per-
feet. CONSTANT running in having so
small coefficient of variation.
These cars were not entered to
show wonders in speed as only IS.
miles per hour is claimed for them,
these being regular stock cars, and
no freak racer built especially for
the race as other company's did, such
as long underhanging frame, SO inch
wheels. etc. But the same car any
Maxwell buyer will get capable of
same speed and endurance.
The way the American cars acquit-
ted themselves in this great race for
200 miles the statistics show the fol-
lowing:
Maxwells entered. a Maxwells
finished. no causualities.
4 Bucks entered. 2 Bucks finish
ed and to succeed in pushing these
two across the line, they first sue
ceeded in smashing up S.
3 Chalmers Detroit entered, l finish
ed. AS result there are two men
in the hospital and one in serious con-
dition.
The Mawxells also received more
than their share of the glory in re-
gard to tires and tire trouble.
Tires-the cheapest, yet the most ex-
pensive, up-keep of the average auto
mobile. Of the l6 AJAX, 5000 mile
guaranteed tires on the Maxwells,
only one change was made and that
for puncture. No wonder then that
careful buyers and conservative
manufacturers, the MAXWELL Briscow
Motor Car Co.. gave to AJAX the
largest tire order ever given to
single tire firm 10000 tires and every
one accompanied by 5000 mile guar
antee. 4 of the 5000 mile guarantee
goes with each Maxwell 1909 car.
A grand thing you will say when you
are assured of 30 many miles without
the troubl e or expense.
