TINE FOR TOURING
Enclosed Car Makes Pos
sible the Enjoyment of
Cold Weather Travel for
Long Distances.

Recall the pleasure and the exhilara-
ton you experienced when you went
spinning over the finest stretch Of open
country road you have ever driven Your
car through?
DO you want to know how to improve
on that ride? Do you want to know
how to get the utmost of riding plea
sure out of your automobile?
Take winter tour, starting out for
the open country just after six or seven
inches of snow has blanketed the eartn.
The most experienced motor car pilot
in America-Ray F. Mcnamara, who
has established so many records in all
parts of the country with Maxwell cars
in durability tests and gasoline aeon
omy runs, and who has driven more
miles than any other man living -
makes the surprising statement that
the winter tour. made when good fall
of snow has padded the road gives the
automobile owner the highest possible
degree of satisfaction within the scope
of attainment on the part of the man
at the wheel.
SEDAN is THE VEHICLE
If anyone is qualified to speak with
authority on such subject it is Nc
Namara, for he has 100000 miles Cf
motor car driving to his credit, and all
this without the slightest kind of an
accident Of any description. Mcnamara
boasts that he has never even killed q
chicken in the road.
He has driven Maxwell cars from
coast to coast, and their reliability has
enabled him to establish speed and
gasoline economy records in practically
every section of the United States.
With his sturdy Maxwell-his present
car has 100000 miles of running clicked
off on the speedometer-he lbs logged
mountain trail roads for Pa /fic Coast
automobile clubs, and he has scaled
New England peaks in durability and
nom stop runs
With the arrival of such a car as tho
new Maxwell Sedan, the winter tour,
which Mcnamara so ndorses, opens

driving, Mcnamara plans now to mark
out, for motorists everywhere. various
winter tour routes, and these he VIII

the road, the modern motor car attains
"a softness of tread that is comparable
