Cutout Chassis Demon
strates Every Point the
Novice Wants to Know.

? INTERESTING in showing the ad-
vance in automobile construction is
4 the exhibition at the Buquor Motor
company, Main and Stanton streets,
where women and men alike have gazed
at the white enameled model in which
all the working parts were exposed and
marveled at the simplicity Of its con
struction. The car was an exact dupIi-
cate OF the Maxwell stock "25." one Of
which ran all around Ell Paso and VI
cinity, doing 1000 miles in seven days
on an average OF q 1-2 miles TO the
gallon Of gasoline.
Car buyers drifted in with an ency-
clopedia Of questions on their tongues
They thirsted for knowledge. They
wanted facts. They wanted 10 know
how the water circulated in a thermo-
syphon system, how q high tension
magnetic gave a jump spark, what
unit power plant is, how the same
transmission gears had speeds for
ward and reverse, how a differentiaI
permitted one rear wheel TO revOlve in
one direction and the other in another.
what floating type rear axle is, and
80 on ad infinitum. All went away

case held the gasoline or had some
thing 10 do with the starter
So he did the perfectly logical thing
and said he wanted information He,
too, went away with a good under

the Maxwell car was the outstanding
feature emphasized by the cutout
chassis. The Maxwell company,
through its local dealers. the Buquor
Motor Car company, makes claim to
having one Of the simplest cars in, con-
struction and easiest in operation OF
any On the market The cutOut chassis
with all working parts exposed, was
pointed to as proof That chassis lifted
the veil OF misunderstanding and con-
fusion and exposed the technical terms.
Last week the Buquor Motor Car

The Buquor Motor Car company, dis
tributors FOR this part Of the country

business the last month or so. Two
carloads OF machines are now on the

In connection with the cost Of mo-
torinR and the efficiency Of the Max

was received by the local company this
week. It consists Of the report Of the
test OF the stock "25" made at the
Sheffield scientific school Of Yale uni
versity. Of 20 cars tested, which in
cluded the leaders in the automobile
