TViIS is the time of the year when more
people are considering the question of
II what car to buy than at any other time
of the year.
This community has its full share of people
who will soon be driving their first Car or new
to replace the old one.
Now, we know that are going to sell Max
well Cars to great many of these people-de-
pending upon how many able to acquaint
with the merits of the Maxwell.
The generous value offered in the car is so
evident-ts past record is full of good perform
ance-owners speak so well of it-that when the
buyer knows these things he is eager to buy
Maxwell.
In order to tell as many people as possible
about the merits of the Maxwell Car going
to spend lot of money in the next few weeks in
this paper advertising Maxwell merits to those
who do not know them.
The reason-we want to sell as many Max
wells as possible this season. Our future allot-
ments will depend upon how many Maxwells we
sell now.
You may know that the Maxwell market is
buyers market, not sellers market-broadly
speaking. The demand for Maxwels the country
over is greater than the supply.

What Do You Know
About The Maxwell Car?

For this reason cars are allotted to dealers by
the factory according to the size of the dealers
business.
We want to make showing and be in posi-
ton to get a generous allotment of Maxwells
hereafter. Because the more Maxwells are sold in
any community, the greater is the future demand.
We realize the opportunity to do everincreasing
Maxwell business.
This is only the first of the several messages
we are going to print-a few days apart-concern-
ing the Maxwell Car. But we don't expect to be
able to adequately present Maxwell merits in
printed words alone.
If you are one who is going to buy new car
you will find it decidedly to your advantage to
find out all you can about the Maxwell before you
place your order.
Come in and talk it over with us and let us
demonstrate the car to you. Then, don't take our
word alone, but ask those who now own Maxwells.
Get posted" about the Maxwell and you will
realize more satisfaction and get more VALUE re-
ceived' for your motor car money than ever
before.
And we are just as willing to have you investi-
gate other just fully as you do ours. The
Maxwell will not suffer by the comparison.
Why not start your Maxwell investigation
today?
