that there was an unfair atmosphere

AT first glance. may not seem re-
narkable, but when one considers
the fact that only two automobile
companies out of over 400 doing
business in this country have been
able to get their securities listed on
the Exchange, it means that the
Maxwell company has been able to
rass the acid test required by the
governors of the leading security
market of the United States.
It also means that the Maxwell
company, before its securities could
be listed. had to give a full state
ment to the Stock Exchange officials
concerning it's organization, resources
and Indebtedness. and that the state
ment was satisfactory is indicated
by the fact that its securities have
been officially listed on the Elk

Construction of such camp need
not be expensive, according to Mr.

acres in what he considers the best
game country south of Wyoming for
s. per year. Here he built an artis-
tic home of three rooms, and a cabin
for the use of visiting friends, at ii
