MAXWELL ANNOUNCES
REDUCTION IN PRICE
ASTONISHES THE AUTOMOBILE
WORLD BY PREPARING TO
DOUBLE PRODUCTION.

Widespread interest was aroused
in the automobile world this week
by the statement of the Maxwell
Motor company, Inc, announcing a
price reduction which brings it's car
in the below $500" class, and fur
Their defying the metal markets by
declaring for a production of $4,000
cars during the 1917 selling season,
because one by one various motor car
manufacturers have advised the pub
lie that owing to war prices of raw
material the cost of the finished
product to the public has been ad-
vanced, and the Maxwell company is
the first leading concern to turn
toward lower cost, at the same time
assuring all concerned that no lower
ing of the standard of production
will be made.
Probably as startling as the reduc-
ton In price is that of a production
of $4,000 machines, all of a single
chassis type, for the twelve months
started July l. Three years ago,
when the first of the Maxwell "25"
models made its appearance, the out
put was comparatively limited. In
the 1915 season nearly $4,000 ma
chimes were turned out; in 1916 the
number had jumped to $4,000. Now,
in the face of war" conditions, last
years output is to be more than
doubled to meet the huge demand
for the popular car.
"The unprecedented growth of
Maxwell popularity has been due in a
very material measure to the policy
Of concentration" said T. ]. Toner,
head of Maxwell affairs on the Pacific
Coast. in announcing to E. c. Tew,
the local Maxwell dealer, the 1917
plans of the big concern.
"Mr. Flanders and his associates
started out with the idea of develop
ing single car. The 1914, 1915
and 1915 cars were put into the
hands Of the users themselves to
prove up by actual use. Gradually
what few changes in chassis construc-
ton were needed were made, until by
the end of the 1916 season the car
we were turning out had thoroughly
established itself. There was no
need of any further radical change,
for in the hands of more than 1907
900 users the Maxwell had demon
strated It was as near perfection as
possible. Now, save for a few minor
changes from time to time, the model
will remain identically the same, for
the next three years at least"
Advices from the Detroit and New
castle plants of the Maxwell COM
pany indicate that every preparation
has been made to produce the 1885,
900 cars called for by the sales de-
partment, for in turning out but a
single chassis the company has been
able to concentrate to the scientific
limit. Its plants are so equipped
that production can be jumped from
400 to $50 cars day on less than "a
hours notice, the only thing neces-
sary to bring about the increase being
ability to secure extra workmen and /
mechanics.

mated Loss Of $1,000

The fire department was called out
Tuesday noon by an alarm from Box
40. which is the private box OF the
Cushnoc Paper Co., and was due to the
discovery Of fire in the basement OF the
company's paper mill at the north end
of Maple street. Hose and and Hook
& Ladder / made good runs and the
boys. with the assistance of the paper
mill fire department and Pine Tree
Hose from Pettingilrs Corner made
short work Of the blaze SO that the all
out was sounded at 1922.
The fire originated in the basement
Of the mill under the wet end OF the
paper machine from some unknown
cause, although 1t is supposed to have
probably been due to hot box and
while some of the timbers were charred
the damage was not heavy and opera
lions in the mill were resumed after
about an hours shutdown. The estl-
mated loss is about $1,000. due to con-
siderable extent to lost time and Is
