What Do You Know
About The Maxwell Car?

1HIS is tho time of the year when moro
people are considering the question of
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 a new
car to replace the old one.
Now, we know that we are going to sell Max
well Cars to great many of these people-de-
pending upon how many we are able to acquaint
with the merits of the Maxwell
The generous value offered IN the car u so
evidentis past record . 90 full of good perform
ance-owners speak so well of it-that when the
buyer knows these things he d eager 10 bury
Maxwell.
In order to tel 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 alIot-
ments will depend upon how many MaxweIls we
sell now.
You,may know that the Maxwell market Is =
buyers market, not a sellers market-broadly
speaking. The demand for MaxweIls the country
over Is greater than the supply.
