T-VHIS 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
car to replace the old one.
Now, we know that we are going to sell Max
well Cars to great many of these peope-de-
pending upon how many we are able to acquaint
with the merits of the Maxwell.
The generous value offered in the car is so
evdent-its past record is so 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 we are 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 a sellers market-broadly
speaking The demand for Maxwells the country
over u 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 generous allotment of MaxweIs
hereafter Because the more Maxwells are sold in
any community, the greater is the future demand.
We realize the opportunity to do an ever-increasing
Maxwell business
This is only the first of the several messages
we are going to prnt--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 il decidedly to your advantage to
find out all you can about the Maxwell before you
place your order.
Come in and talk il over with us and let us
demonstrate the to you. Then, don't take our
word alone, but ask those who now own MaxweLs.
Get posted" about the Maxwell and you win
realize more satisfaction and get more value re-
ceved' for your motor car money than ever
before.
And we are just willing to have you investi-
gate other cars just rs fully as you do ours The
Maxwell VIII not suffer by the comparison.

GIBRALTAR FOR FLORIDA.
England Once Offered Spain the Great
2. 80: Rock In a.Irae4e. =.

] You know that for everlasting sta
bflity and stubborn resistance there is
nothing in the: world like Gibraltar
Did you ever: hear of a curious little
bargain, which was never" consum-
mated, but in which that great rock
at the mouth Of the Mediterranean
figured as part of the price? 1t had
to do with an important part of our
own country, and yet it is seldom men
toned in any Of our histories.
The impregnable fortress was fought
over by the Spaniards and the Moors
for two centuries, and it came in for
the keen interest Of Oliver Cromwell,
who Numbered at the British the fact
that if they ever hoped to become the
dominating sea power of the world
they must control the Mediterranean
from Gibraltar. This great necessity
was never lost sight Of, but suitable
pretext did not arise until the war Of
the Spanish succession, when England
and France were at each others
throat for the mastery Of Europe.
Under Admiral Sir George Brooke
the British fleet made an unexpected
attack on the Spanish defenses and
captured Gibraltar in 1904 Presently
the English sickened of their bargain.
That was long before the ...;::~::1,ing of
the Suez canal by the French and the
Egyptians, and the cost of maintain
ing the rocky fortress appeared to be
out Of all proportion to its worth.
When Spain was approached by Ma.
poleon for the purchase of Florida as
a blow at England from the western
theater of the Anglo French war, Eng
land offered Spain to trade Gibraltar
for Florida. Had the trade taken
place England would not now be un.
disputed mistress Of the sea.-St. Louis
