Low 'FUp-keep'' Carburetor

~ Op-ACCP SdEDuTctOE
The carburetor used on the Maxwell was espec-
Tally designed for it after long and severe tests
under every conceivable condition. Economy tours
conducted by hundreds of dealers and owners in
different sections of the country have proved its
efficiency, its quick response to throttle and its
extremely low consumption OF gasoline. 1t has
been termed the low u~p-keep' carburetor.
reversible Steering Gear
The greatest margin of safety has been pro-
vlded in the steering gear OF the 1915 Maxwell.
The Maxwell reversible steering mechanism is
OF the expensive worm-and-gear type and its SUI
periority over every other type lies in its many
adjustments At no time is more than a fourth Of
the bearing surface of the gear which operates
the worm in use. When needed, a new bearing
surface may be had by adjusting the gear a quarter
of a turn. In short, the Maxwell steering gear
has four times the adjustment Of any other kind.
Heavy Car Comfort
What surprises most people is the smooth. buoy
