Drives and Tests,

Two hundred automobile dealers from
various points in Nebraska and Iowa,
win be the guests Of the Maxwell Motor
Sales corporation at the convention to
be held at Hotel Rome in this city Friday.
Not only are the various dealers to be
given an opportunity to contract for the
coming year for the well-known Maxwell
car, but motion picture lecture has
been arranged for the entertainment and
instruction of the dealers.
The Maxwell company believes in help
ing their agents and there could be no
better help given than to show just what
quantity production means.
1t is not given to every representative
Of the different automobile companies TO
visit Detroit; but the Maxwell Motor
Sales corporation by a very unique motion
picture exhibition has brought that part
OF Detroit to their agents that interests
them most.
knowledge Of Just how the Maxwell
cars are built should be a factor with
every agent, a point which has hereto
fore been neglected or overlooked by
most companies.
These pictures not only show the build
ing of a motor car in It's entirety, COM
mencing with the making Of steel, on
down through the forge and foundry
machine shops and the various assem-
blies to the finished product, including
road testing, but the story is told in ar
attractive way with a real romance.
In addition to this travetogue is giver
in the last reel. showing views Of various
parts of the country, and incidentally
show Just what the Maxwell ''25' Is
capable of doing under various condi-

Cyclecar Rapidly
Approaching Stage
of Finished Cars

A year ago a new movement was an
nouncd, taking its cue from foreign de-
velopment and all aimed toward produc-
ing the cheapest possible motor car. All
talks Of this new vehicle. which for the
sake of q better name was termed cycle
car, was based on cost.
Taking this idea as a beginning point,
makers designed narrow tread cars with
V-shaped motors and belt drive. These
cars, while attractive in appearance,
were somewhat radical to be Immediately
understood from a buyers standpoint,
but crude as some OF them were. they
proved principles that MACE the whole
automobile world sit up and take notice
The first real discovery was the comfort
of the narrow tread and the exploding OF
the idea that in order to be comfortable
on rough roads a car must necessarily be
heavy. These little vehicles proved that
comfort was not obtained by gross weight
but by distribution of weight, and that
1t was possible to make light car more
comfortable than a heavy one.
The first cars built. low cost being the
main item sought In their construction,
were crude affairs at best and hardly
capable OF standing UP under the heavy
strains to which they were put Few
firms got into the industry early enough
to really find out the true value Of cycle
car principles and In time to fit real
workmanship and design for their prod
uct for the presant wear. Several firms
