increase PRICE OF
NATIONAL NEXT MONTH
Cost of II Cylinder Cars
Greater Because of
Material Scarcity

According to the announcement
just made by the National factory. the
price of the National twelve cylinder
cars will be increased In July. I'VE
have been producing twelve-cylinde
cars for one year" said George NJ.
Dickson. general manager of the Ma
tional Company, "and even tho our
costs continued to increase after we
announced the original price we did
not increase the price until our year
was ended. Effective next month, our
price must necessarily be advanced.
In spite of the fact that the National
Company is one of the three largest
producers Of high grade cars in the
country and in spite of the fact that
during the past year they have built
and delivered more than three times
as many cars than during any pre-
vious year and in spite Of the fact that
the National factories have been
doubled in size and doubled in number
Of employees, they cannot continue to
sell the twelve-cylinder cars az the
present price. according to Dickson.
1T must necessarily be increased
there is no alternative he stated. 1T
would be folly for the National Com
pany TO attempt to hold their present
price by reducing the quality OF ma

Price REDUCTION
ON 1917 Prices
Detroit Company Brings
Cost of Touring Car
TO $595

Undoubtedly the most interesting
announcement for 1917. with regard
70 automobiles in the Iower-priced
fields, comes from the Maxwell Motor
Company. Inc. OF Detroit This an
nouncement is that the price on their
Touring Car and Roadster is mate
rally lowered The Touring Car is
reduced from S655 to S595; the Road
ster from S635 to $3.50.
In this definite announcement of a
substantial reduction in price, the
Maxwell Company also announces
that there will be no changes in the
car. This confirms all previous an
nouncements that the Maxwell car Is
now a standardized product Walter e.
Flanders, President and General Man
ager Of the Maxwell Company, and
the able corps OF engineering and
manufacturing experts he has gather
ed around him are convinced that
their product has attained such a uni
form degree Of excellence that the
necessity for radical changes in de-
sign and construction has been elimi-
mated.
The change in Maxwell prices be-
came effective July 1.
In explaining the reason for the big
reduction in the price Of Maxwell
cars. the manufacturers declare that
increased production made IL pos
sihle.
tThe manufacturing cost per car
has been greatly reduced by our in
creased production said Mr.. Flan-
ders. "Our plants at Detroit. Dayton
and Newcastle have been taxed 10
their capacity to supply the orders
Of our dealers. We have made ar
Engagements for the manufacture OF
1000 cars for this year and we
know from the enthusiasm with which
our 1917 announcement was received
that this number will be disposed Of
easily
"Certainly no other car in this field
can point TO the consistent perform
ance behind the 1916 Maxwell. This
car has given such excellent satisfac-
ton under all conditions that we
would not feel justified TO change IL
M any particular"
The same manufacturing policy will
obtain in the Maxwell plants. the
standard Maxwell chassis being used
for FIVE different body designs These
designs include a streamline five-pas-
senger Touring Car. a two passenger
Roadster. a two-passenger Cabriolet,
a six-passenger Town Car and a six
passenger Sedan.
The Sedan Is the newest Maxwell
model having been added 70 the line
early In the year Il is primarily a
family car and there has been a very
satisfying demand for il.

Time! Time has demonstrated that
spade of a certain width digs easier
and faster-with greater efficiency

Scoop-shovels in gardens are
of little service. And a crowbar
for spading is a worthless tool.
The one is too wide the
other too narrow. The right
medium is the efficient spade.
Experience the best of
practical and scientific motor
experience-has made convinc-
ing the logic of the Twin Six.
We have put two power
producing factors where there
was only one before.
In reducing the size of the
