cheney from the start, and for the
second time in Glidden tours showing
the highest team efficiency.
The Maxwell captured the team
prize, the Glidden trophy; the in
dividual prize, the Anderson trophy;
and the division cash prize. There
wasn't anything else to win. It was
a great cleanup for the Maxwell car
It was worth more in advertising to
the car than anything that could be
imagined, for the merits of the Max
we'll, indisputable proof of the stab-
ility and efficiency of the car, were
heralded throughout the world.
There are more than $4,000 users of
Maxwell cars Year after year finds
the Maxwell in AL condition. Witness
the figures of the State Department
of New York, showing that 81 per
cent of the Maxwel1s sold in New
York state in 1905 are still in active
average mileage of $4,000. The econ
Omy of the Maxwell is not confin>
ed to first cost. 1t is the most econ
omical car to maintain. Unit con-
struction, three point suspension. null
tiple. disc clutch, water cooling metal
bodies, are among the features that
commend themselves to careful buy
ers. There is no car made whose
engine oiling is SO entirely automatic
and which requires less care on the
part of the operator than the Max
we'll.
The Brush might be termed strik-1
ing instance Of the evolution of the
automobile industry. It has been
called Eyeryman's car for the reason
$3.50, places it within the reach OF
everyone who calculates on spending
anything for transportation Or travel
expenses. The Brush is a little car,
but it. is none the less a real auto-
mobile, as highly developed in every
particular. and especially in its won>
derfuIly simple mechanism, as the
more expensive and pretentious ma
chimes.
The Brush is operated by a one
cylinder vertical motor, with long
stroke. This is really a European
feature, for in Europe where fuel 10
high and the greatest efficiency
must be obtained, this style of motor
is in great favor. The Brush is ac-
knowledged to be peerless among sin.
gle cylinder types.
The Liberty Brush, at $3.50. the
Standard Brush at $3.50; the Brush
runabout at $3.50 and the Brush deliv.

tomobile bargains that compel in-

ployed by Detroit concern have
laid aside the $50 per month appro-

Distributor Ford has several Brush
cars as we'll as the MaXwells on hand,
and will gladly give demonstrations
detailed information, literature and
the like. A telephone call ON No. 1878
