even If not a moral or

WE FOUND $4,000 owners

pleading for parts. Their
cars laid up and useless in
most cases.
WE'VE INVESTED about
one and three-quarters mil

a plant and stock of parts,
for over $50 different mod
els, made by the concerns
that comprised the United
States Motor c o m p an y.
whose assets we purchased
from the Receiver thru
the u. S. Courts.
WE TOOK THE NAME
MAXWELL solely for the
protection Of $4,000 persons
who had bought cars under
that name.
HAD WE CHOSEN AN
OTHER NAME those Co.

THERE ARE HR E E
GOOD REASONS WIN

ERE ARE TIRE E
GOOD REASONS why
you should have your car
overhauled now and worn
parts replaced.
FIRST: The garage man
can give you better service
and you can spare the
Car better now than later.
No matter whether you are
going to keep the car, or
sell or trade it in on a new
one-it will pay you well
to have it thoroughly over
hauled, worn parts replaced
by new ones and body re-
painted.
SECOND: We are able to
furnish replacement parts
for all models of above
makes OF cars within 48
hours from receipt of or
der. Have concentrated
this branch of the business
at Newcastle, Ind. (center
of population of the U. ST.
Here we have a $1,750,0o0
investment in plant and
stock. $4,000 separate bins
of parts.
THIRD: And perhaps the
best reason why you should
secure your requirements
now-we must increase
prices 2O% January LIST,
when the new parts price
lists will be off the presses.
NOW NOTE THIS-Never
before in the history of this
industry has new con-
Germ, having bought the
plants and assets of a bank

the obligation of furnishing
replacement parts for the
cars it never made.
