Maxwell $50 Left $40
to Buyer Now Is Shown

Running up and down the scale of
increases in motor car prices during
the last year, the advance of $50
announced as applying to two Of the
Maxwell models after MAY ] stands out
as amounting to only $40 as far as the
buyer this spring is concerned.
How a $50 advance is in reality but
a ten-dollar-bill is explained by the
company pointing out that. while the
life of $50 is distinguished in itself as
the narrowest price advance the in
dustry so far has announced il is but
one-third of that amount when the
Maxwell buyer this year realizes that
the price after May l will be but $40
more than the MAXWELL 5 cost was this
time last year.
Buyers will recall that Maxwell. in
the face Of price increases that were
general throughout the industry, last
year lowered its retail figure by 500
This was one of the surprises of last
season. Considering the increase this
spring in relation to the decrease last
year, the Maxwell purchaser finds the
company is going ahead with its pro
duction of a hundred thousand ears
annually on basis of manufacturing
efficiency so marked that the price
| change sums up to an advance of only
two five-dollar bills.
Moreover, the company points out,
Maxwell producing units now have
been in operation with the making
of the present standardized car for
four years, SO that for the $40 the
huvpr is uivan tho advon4oua &c 49,
refinements and improvements that
have been worked out OF the expert
ences of 100000 owners. The company
also has two road engineers-a new
kind of tester employed only by Max
well-who are each week subiecting
/ the cars to the hardest performances
demonstrations available on the roads
in different parts of the country. These
road engineers are Ray f. Mcnamara
and p. w. Gibbs.
Another factor that has influence in
enabling the company to keep the
Maxwell price down, it is asserted, is
that the company plans this year the
production of the worlds greatest out.
put of trucks. This will amount to
upward of 10000 vehicles, il has been
announced, and their making means
further economy and manufacturing
efficiency throughout the producing
plants. The Maxwell company, having
offset with efficiency its rising ma
terials costs so far with success, holds
itself as in as advantageous a position
as any in the industry to further pro
duce complete automobile at the
lowest possible price margin.
