Maxwell Dealer Has New
Display Window For Cars

Z. w Shank whose headquarters
was recently destroyed by fire has ar
ranged for a display room at 100 Mar
ket street with the City Auto Supply
Company and is now showing the new
1916 Maxwell model in the north WIN
dow
Formal renewal of contract rela-
tions between the Maxwell Motor
Sales Corporation of Detroit, and E.
w. Shank of this city, have been
made in the ratification of the local
firms contract and it's return, bear
ing the signature of Assistant Sales
Manager c. E. Stebbins of the Detroit
factory. The Maxwell line is thereby
assured, for another year, representa-
tion here which has been found
adequate and satisfactory.
While ratification of the contract by
the Maxwell people was little more
than mere formality-"Once a Max
well dealer, always a Maxwell dealer"
is an axiom of President Walter e.
Flanders-members of the local or
ganization are all enthusiastic over
the assumption of another years al
lance.
I'VE picked the Maxwell in the first
place; we believed we could make
more money handling it than any
other type of cars" said Mr.. Shank.
our experience has justified our
choice. Though the margin of profit
on 1855 car is necessarily small, the
volume of sales is great, provided al
ways that the car satisfies its owners

things in the coming season. The
cars are larger, handsomer and more
powerful than last years. They will
have behind them a sales impetus
given by the satisfactory performance
of the cars we have already solo. Our
own service department has shown its
ability to keep every Maxwell car in
our territory at top efficiency all the
time, and the factory has a magnifi-
cent system of keeping us applied with
anything we may need.
Manufacturing economies that
have been put in force at the Detroit,
Dayton and New Castle Maxwell plants
have made possible a big cut in the
price of the car this year. We are
now able to show a combination of
style and mechanical ability that is
absolutely unique"
The first shipment of the new Max
wells is already on view at the local
salesroom, and amply makes good the
enthusiasm of the sales force. In ad-
dition to a number of mechanical
changes, the new Maxwell has a heart
shaped radiator crown. increased seat
ing room, demountable rims, one-man
type top and is furnished complete
with electrical equipment at the list

Sm OOt hnesS of Oneration.
In specifications and in its general
lines the cars shows plainly its right
to a heritage of sturdiness, descended
from a long line of sturdy Maxwell
ancestors.

LITTLE THINGS
CONTAIN DANGER
DR.. Dixon Points Out Some In
teresting Matters For the
Average Man

DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, State Com
weekly talks on health and sanitation
points out the dangers that lurk in
little things. The commissioner says
that too many acts which are regarded
of trifiing consequence contain poten-
tlalities.
Dr. Dixon says:
Every youngster is familiar with
the story of how a tea kettle suggest
ed the steam engine. 1t is one of thou
sands of examples of little things that
count. OF course the tendency is to
overlook small matters and to sneer
at their importance. This is true in
regard to our health as we'll as
other business of life. There are GER
tain common habits which everybody
overlooks because they are so COM
mon and yet these trifles may have a
very decided influence at times.
Millions of people moisten post
age with their tongues every day.
These have been showed across a soil
ed counter or torn off with dirty
hands an instant before, but unfor-
tunately a habit plus convenience,
leads the majority of people to the
custom of affiXing them in this man
ner. Another seemingly trif1ing habit
which may readily lead to difficulties
is that of ripping open with the fin
gers, letters that have been sealed
with mucilage plus saliva.
I'm view of the fact that there are
v,1 AF
losis and other diseases these seeming
ly Insignificant acts are really fraught
with danger. Our mouths are perhaps
the chief avenue by which the germs
OF disease enter the system and our
hands are the principle means of car
rying them there. Watch anybody fol-
few minutes who is thinking or writ
ing and see how their fingers are car
ried to the face. If they are not clean
they are almost certain to carry germs
to the mouth. Once there decayed or
unclean teeth furnish splendid breed
ing grounds.
Children in school chew their pen
ellis and as often as not exchange them
unless they are warned against 1t and
chew someone else's. Many people
wet their fingers with their tongue to
turn the pages of books and despite
all that has been said and written by
health authorities about paper money
carrying disease germs, they resort
to this method of counting bills.
These are such simple things that
unthinkingly you may sneer at them
as not of sufficient Importance to war
rant care. For all that they are pre-
cautions worth observing and it is we'll
to cultivate certain fastidiousness
and to err on the side of scrupulous
cleanliness for it is little things that
count"
