Moreover, shipments on the last day
Of May--G35 cars-were tthe biggest
ever made by the Maxwell company
in a single day.

Supposng we had to handle tnc

we would have to have street five

this traffic on Michigan avenue ana

crowded with traffic like Michigan

Besides the record shipping day

pleted $40 cars on the preceding
Saturday but shipment Of these cars
was not completed until Sunday.
Dealers Prosperous.
Reports show Maxwell dealers. III
all parts of the country are prosper
GUS. Dealers are sending in larger
orders for cars than ever before.
Mr.. Flanders said the problem of
the Maxwell company was not to find
buyers for motor cars. but to get ma
terlal enough to make cars to supply
the demand and get railroad cars
enough TO ship out the products of the
Maxwell factories. After finding tho
raw material It is n problem to get the
railroads to haul the material to the
factories
In the last year the Maxwell com
pany business has had n wonderfui
expansion. The company has leaped
into third place In point of production
and has taken Just four years to at
tain this
Production Increases.
More than a thousand automobiles
were turned out in May than were pro-
duced in April. The production in
Juno apparently will exceed the May
production. Mr.. Flanders said:
More money will be in circulation
In the next few years than ever be-
fore In the history of the country
THE constructive military ana nav
al program already outlined by the
government Is gong to crowd into
one year what normally it would take
five years to complete"
The Maxwell company finds the
automobile market steadily widening
The people are making money and
tho Maxwell company is finding II
difficult TO produce cars fast enough
to meet the demand.

Business Sense More Essential Than

"Just how mucn income a man

Kar company.
"A man might have a big income
but If he is living up to II he would
not he in any better position as the
man with moderate income and knew
how to spend II wisely.

PRACTICAL AMERICA
AND THE FRANKLIN CAR

AMERICANS are at heart
~ a practical people.
4 n There is something in
them that responds to Thrift;
something that makes them
ashamed of extravaganza and
waste.
They may get off the track
occasionally, but they always
come back to the main road of
efficiency and common sense.
$3OO,OOO,OOO Wasted in
Gasoline and Tires
Every Year
The average American is
busy. Outside his business he
lets others do his thinking.
He thinks with his crowd.
He did this on motor cars.
He bought dead weight and
rigidity, ponderous machinery
and big wheel-base.
He lugged around radiators
and plumbing, water-cooling
system of III parts.
He paid the price in upkeep
and depreciation, tire destruc-
ton, gasoline waste.
1t cost him in a year about
$500, 900, 600 and did not give
him the comfort of the Aexi-
bic, easy riding Franklin, with
its qOo,1Ts record efecon0my tn
cost Of operation.
There is no middle ground
in this thrift question.
A car has it-or it has not.
Like easy riding comfort
if thrift is there it proves itself.

machine uses his car as freely as
the Franklin owner uses his
