Tinker is getting whole lot of ad-

At Mondays meeting, also. road gov

Announcement Is also to be made of

The placing of this stretch of road in

MaxwelI's Comeback
Told by c. w. Barron

The Inauguration of dividends at
the rate of 10 per cent. per annum on
Maxwell Motor common may awaken
at which Maxwell is now coming for
ward.
Maxwell antedated Ford in large
output in the popular-priced field, and
there are probably more Maxwell en-
gines of early dates still on the high
ways than of any other make. But
there came time when Maxwell had
to rebuild financially from the founda-
ton up. How efficiently was the re-
building is indicated by the inaugu-
ration of the present 10 per cent
dividend rate.
To find out what is under 1t in fac
tory, organization and management,
the writer took little tins recently
to get down to fundamentals at De-
troit. He found Maxwell motor cars
being turned out of the factory at
such a pace that an enormous circus
ering between factory and freight car
until more buildings now under way
could be finished.
The record hung up the day he left
was 412 cars, and the previous day
was also over 400 for output, a present
capacity dllu output dI tAS Tdtc Ol
| 120, 900 cars per annum against Co.,
900 put out the past twelve months
and $4,000 the previous year.
The progress of Maxwell has been
town talk in Detroit.
Its success is due:
First, to the one model policy.
Second, good name, never changed
and always mechanically maintained.
! Third, a sound financial policy.
Fourth, good generalship manifest
| ing itself in every detail from labora-
tory and shop efficiency to an educa-
tional advertising campaign and an
intelligent selling organization COW
ering the entire country.
Fifth, consistent large educational
newspaper advertising.
When Walter E. Flanders, Presi-
dent of the Maxwell Company, was
selling heavy machine tools made in
Rhode Island, and getting in touch
with everything in manufacturing Or
ganization from chemist to salesman,
he little dreamed of his future. The
| industry where he was to make his
mark had not been born, but uncon-
sciously he learned who was who and
what was what and how to put them
together.
In the Ford factory his ability in
organization and in economical me-
chanics had full play. To-day, it has
fuller play in the Maxwell works,
where armies of wheels and trains
other and pass off the platform in
completed cars for final inspection.
But 1t is the steady march of Max

factory to individual operator that

dogmas. I believe it may safely be
said that the great body of ministers
individually recognize this. A few
cling to the superstition that there is
inherent in religion itself a power
which, by some sort of magic, indie
pendently of man, will make the
faith of Christ triumphant in the
world. I do not believe so; Smith
could not be made to think so. And
Smiths trouble is, if I understand
him, not with faith after all, but
with works. The church does not
impress him as being an efficient ma
chine that yields adequate return
upon the investment. If Smith can
be brought to works through faith,
well enough; but he is far more
critical of works than of faith. Works
are within the range of his expert
ence. He admires achievement.
Show him a foundation of works, and
interest him in Strengthening that
foundation and in building upon. it,
and his faith will take care of itself"
