REPAIR BILL SOC FOR A
TOTAL OF 10000 MILES
Two Maxwell Cars Make Exceedingly
Inexpensive Overland
Trims


Two Maxwell cars recently driven
a total of 10 600 miles at an expense of
only so cents for repairs just naturally
make the most liberal of men enthus-
iastic over the economy of MaXwells.
one Maxwell was driven 4,400 miles
without one cent being spent for re

started with his wife and baby and Mr..
and Mrs IL. l.. Tedfors on trip east
A trailer carrying 0ounds of bag
gage was hauled. Trouble only once
was experienced. That was on top Of
the mountains where n snowstorm
caught the party. 1t was found neces-
sary to requsition a team of mules to
pull the heavy loaded car and trailer
out of a snowdrift. A truss rod cost
ing 80 cents was purchased. The re-
naming portion of the 30 cepts ex-
pense was paid mechanic TO tighten
the steering gear.
Il. II. Elvin, 6Sl South Main street.
Lima. Ohio, made nearly as long a trip
as the Black party without spending
one cent for repairs. Mr.. Elvin toured
from Lima to ogden. Utah, and then
to Cheyenne and Yellowstone Park.
The estimated distance of the trip west
was 1850 miles and the route home
was given as 2,i50 miles. Going west
the Maxwell averaged "a miles to the
gallon of gasoline. The Maxwell per-
formed perfectly at all times. 1t never
was in need of outside assistance. 1t
was, however, able to render aid to
heavier cars experiencing difficulty
over the sleeper grades.

FRANKLIN PRODUCTION
RECORD FOR FACTORIES
Output Increased 10 53i Cars Per Day
to Meet Present
Demand.

Breaking production records is get
ling 20 be a habit with the Franklin
Automobile company. and this condi-
uon seems particularly cNpedicut these
days when the demand for this eco
nomical car has $50 greatly increased.
only "a few weeks ago the company
reported factory production record
Of 2S5 cars per week. and now cones
the announcement that 29i cars, an
average Of 534 cars per day for the
5iA working DAYS of the week, have
been constructed in n single week.
since the fall schedule calls for 242
cars per week. II is apparent that the
producers are striving at least TO keep
ahead Of the schedule outlined for
them, even II they cannot quite keep
pace with the sales demand for the
Franklin car.
When the five new additions 90 the
plant were put into service In March,
it was expected that congestion would
be relievedSas the added facilities and
floor space were considered ample
for the manufacture on the scheduled
plan OF 1000 cars In the 233 working
hours OF the month. Barely seven
months have elapsed since the com
pany was placed on this 12.0OO-car-
per-year basis and now a record Of
production is announced at the rate
OF ! 600 cars per year the maximum
production capacity OF the plant
When II Is remembered that only as
far back as June 1915. the company
was building only $500 cars annually,
the rapid growth OF the organization
IS all the more apparent.
The Franklin company now has the
distinction Of the biggest payroll
within the Syracuse limits and occu-
pies, as part Of its plant, the largest
single Industrial building, in that city,
nine acres OF floor spacG being under
one roof.

Buying Is Heavier
In Wall Street Today

New York, Dec. 2S.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Wave after wave of buying followed
the announcement from Washington
early in today's session that the gov
ernment will meet all maturing rail
road obligations, whether bonds or
notes. Gains in low grade rail stocks
and bonds were nothing less than SEN
sational, ranging from four to eight
points during the days trading. Stand
ard rail stocks were strong. The en-
tire list shared in the advancing
market with motors, steel, coppers
and equipments reflecting, by their
sharp advances, the public confidence
that the turn in the tide of security
values has come and the renewed inter
est in investments.
The public saw new good features
in the Presidents solution of the rail
problem. No harm to market values
came from the Interpretation Of Count
Czernin's outline of the Teutonic
peace terms.
Trading in stocks again exceeded one
million shares At one time in the
afternoon United States Steel was
nearly ten points above the low of last
week. Standard rails received better
attention in the late trading.
Stocks opened moderately strong.
1t was realized early that readiust-
ment of prices upward in the direction
of real values based on the govern
ment's guarantee of net operating in
come was bullish factor of import
ance.
Wall Street also paid great atten-
tion to industrials, particularly those
which are creditors of railroads.
Equipment issues were carried to
new high levels since the start of the
present recovery.
