The MaXwell-B riscoe people are hold
ing an exhibit of their own in New
York city at S17 West Fifty-ninth
street. Colonel Pardee, the genial
manager of the New York branch of
the Maxwell Briscoe Motor Company,
is enthusiastic over the prospects Of
the coming season.
In spite of the so-called hard
tines" says Colonel Pardee, I'VE have
booked more orders his year than ever
before. While the demand for a four
cylinder touring car, such as our 30
horsepower model, is, of course, great,
there is no diminution in the demand
for a runabout, such as our tw~o-cylin-
der 14-horsepower type. We have
found that many people who have used

line runabouts. as possessing the ad-
Vantages of the electric. without its
limitations Just now the colonel is
rejoicing over a shipment of 1909
models.
