burdens on the forked branches OF feied
trees. or since Juno's carriage was built, as

would be impractical were 1t not for the

we'll be considered a wonderful 1nvehton'
but it would be useless were it not for the
mechanism It supports. The tire has made
the modern car possible, and vice versa
One has helped the other. Each would be
valueless of itself.

We desire to be entirely frank in connection
with this offer. Sowe plainly state our reason
for making it and limiting it 10 the 90 day
period. The reason is this:
This season of the year is the dull season
in the automobile business.
From January to September, our factories
are taxed to their utmost-in fact we ran
nights through the Spring and early Summer
At this season, say from September 1st TO
January lst, our manufacturing capacity is
greater than the normal demand.
We anticipate that this guaranteed cost offer
will stimulate the demand and enable us to
avoid curtailing our working force during the
Fall and Winter, as we have always done
before. We would avoid inficting this usual
hardship on our men.
The Maxwell plants embrace acres of floor
space. The Maxwell product in 1910 num-
bered 10000 cars. All have been sold. The
motif of Maxwell production is perfect work
manship, reliable and efficient business meth
DDS, small profits per car. We do not hesitate
to say our cars are sold on profit of 500 each.

1ayed arrival of the pneumatic tire
Across the Channel inventors were strug-
Cling in those early days with the automo-
bile problem. and the Michelins of France,
already producers of the most advanced
cycle tires, saw their opportunity.
The late NJ Levassor. of the celebrated
Panhard firm, laughingly said: You might
as well use tires for automobiles filled
with straw as with air" Then came the
classic Bordeaux race of 1895, and
the pneumatic tire for automobiles had
arrived" The Michelins were flooded with
orders. and to-day they have factories not
onlv in France, where they were estab-
Ijshed in 1892 but in America. England
and italy as well. Their tires are for sale
i'm every country in the world where cars
are used.
Progress has been rapid during the last
fifteen years but the first important i'm
provement since the introduction of pneu-
matics was made in 1906. when the inven-

Two months ago charges widely made that the

We believed our cars were not only economical to
buy and maintain but were productive agents which
actually facilitated and increased the business of the
men who owned them.
If this were proven untrue our business, built on
the premise that the automobile was utility,
necessity, had grown up false foundation and
its future was in grave jeopardy.
Therefore instituted investigation to ascertain
what basis there was for contrary view.
This investigation dsproved the charges and justified
