new MAXWELL TRUCK
ANNOUNCED QUIETLY
Light Delivery Service Given Careful
Consideration in Design.

In the same quiet manner in which
they have made announcements of all
changes of car types, the Maxwell Motor
Car Company announced the production
or a one-ton truck, which according to
specifications at hand Is a real truck ana
not made over pleasure car.
The only thing that 1t has about It
which might in any manner resemble a
pleasure car is the motor the same by
the way that has proved its worth in
the pleasure car. having been driven over
all sorts of roads, under all sorts of road
and weather conditions. The hood and
radiator are also emblematic of the Max
well pleasure car being along the same
general design, only larger.
In building the truck the requirements
Of the light delivery service have been
given careful consideration. On the one
hundred and twenty -four-inch wheel
base three quarters Of the load is carried
on the thirty-two by three and a half
solid tires on the rear. Front tires are
thirty-two by three solid.
In accordance with general truck
practice, drive Is Of the worm type which
insures smooth drive action and maxi
mum Of strength.
Factory plans call for the production
Of in the neighborhood Of 5000 trucks
this year, that Is between now and
January 1, 1918. The price is such that It
is within reach Of most any merchant

SAXON FOUR ROADSTER
EQUALS THREE HORSES

One Saxton four roadster can approx
mate the work Of three horses.
This was demonstrated on the farm Of
J.. II. Franzen, near Coleridge, Neb.,
during the late summer alfalfa cutting.
Mr.. Franzen replaced a team of horses
with his four on the trip rope Of a hay
stack. With a team used to lift the
stacked and throw the hay onto the
pile. only two sweeps, bringing the hay
from the field. served to keep the stacker
at topmost speed. With the Saxon, three
sweeps were used and the little car took
care OF the load easily.
The most remarkable part of the
work was the way in which the Saxon
handled the load. Instead Of pulling
ahead to lift the hay. from the ground
and trip II onto the stack, the Saxon
was put in reverse and the rope at
tached to its front axle. It backed
away under the load and then ran for
ward to lower the stacker for the next
burden. The heavy pull was entirely
tn reverse.

The popularity OF the Allen classic car,
