MAXWELLS UNCHANGED
FOR NEXT FIVE YEARS

The Maxwell % is continued with
few changes, save for several minor
| improvements that tend to make it
more attractive and comfortable. Me.
chanically the greatest change is At,
water Kent ignition instead of mag
neto. The Simms starting motor and
generator are used.
The appearance of the dash has been
improved by adding gasoline gauge
and dash lamp-small items, yet ones
/ that are important. The rear seats of
| the five passenger model have been
Widened three inches and the front
seats of all models are two inches wild
er. This has been done without increas-
| ing the width of the body, but by cut
| ting down the thickness of the uphols-
itery at the sides of the seat. The com
lpartment beneath the rear deck of the
roadster is larger and more accessible.
Instead of opening at the rear, the
compartment is covered with door
that covers practically the entire rear
deck. The rear springs have been
heightened nearly six inches, making
the car more comfortable and steadier
ION rough roads. On the sedan the wind
shield is now of the overlapping type
and so arranged that all wind or rain
may be excluded in winter and yet
open for ventilation in summer.
Easy starting is facilitated by the
addition of two priming cups, one
mounted on each branch of the intake
manifold. Last year instead of the
printing cups threaded plugs We're
screwed into the manifold, and
though the engine could be primed, it
could not-be primed readily. The am
cunt of nickel or polished metal sur
faces on the ear has been reduced to a
minimum. The lamps, instead of having
nickled rims, are all black enameled.
Last but not least, we have the as
surance of the Maxwell company that
the chassis for the Maxwell ear will
remain the same for at least five years. /
All of the most reliable ears have come
to this and those experienced in auto
mobile construction consider this a
most essential feature in eliminating !
expense of maintenance, as all parts |
are interchangeable, regardless of the
model.

II would be interesting 10 know hew
many people, feeling within them that
the Ford car was fully efficient, reliab-
le. economical and the greatest value
for the money-how many OF these peo
pie have turned to some other car as a
matter Of False Pride in ostentatious
external appearance.
The Ford was designed 10 meet the
needs Of the lower buyer Of average
means, supplying the most convenient
and efficient form Of transportation at
minimum cost.
The sensible man takes pride in eff
cheney; he is proud Of his independent
means; ;he likes 10 feel that he is reason
able in all things and, above all, he
wants to know, in his heart heart. that
he is able to stand alone for what he
knows is best, regardless of what others
may say or dc.
The desire to "show off, is human.
its natural and hence is a strong and
dominant influence. But self-interest
Is stronger and more dominant. 1t is
law Of NATURE. When False Pride
clashes with common sense and reason.
il stands TO lose.
Records show persons of high social
standing, men Of great wealth and 9TH
ers whose power in state and nation is
far-reaching, owning and driving Ford
ears. They are men who recognize
merit, whose sense of pride is not dis
turhed by what they see or hear. They
buy Ford cars for efficiency. not for
show; for service, not for ornamental
tion. Ford ears mean eebnomy. Useless
is waste.
Thus is the sale of motor car decid-

Simple But Efficient Device
Used to True Overland Tires

As an example of the thoroughness
and accuracy with which even the min
utest details are performed in the au-
tomobile industry no better illustra,
tion can be furnished than the inspec.
tion of tires at the factory of the
Willys,Overlaud company.
Each tire, after the wheel has been
assembled, is thoroughly inspected and
tested for alignment. 1t must be lined
up evenly with the rim, before it can
be placed on chassis.
The inspector mounts the wheel on
a pivot. then swings roller into place
against the run Of the wheel. Along
side Of this roller, pressing against
the high point of the tire he firmly
holds a marker, while he revolves the

wheel Naturally he marks the spots
which are in alignment, and misses the
portions of the tire which require fur
ther adjusting. The defects are then
quickly remedied.
This test, coupled with the inspec-
ton for the alignment of both front
and rear tires, is performed to insure
purchasers of all Willys-O Overland pro
duets with minimum wear on tires.
Every wheel that leaves the Willvs-
Overland assembly rooms has been
aligned and inspected in this manner.
