A MAXWELL TEST.

A woman, Mrs. d. ]. Wolf, who lives
out on Jerico turnpike, on Long ISL
and. has Just reached Los Angeles,
Cal. after making a transcontinental
trip. the second Maxwell Sedan, to go
from coast to coast. She was accom-
panied by two nieces and Joseph +.
Pinkham, chauffeur.
The party left New York. October
10th in the rain, but the utility OF the
Maxwell closed car allowed the trip
to be thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
Winter touring is as pleasant as sum-
mer touring when a Maxwell Sedan is
used and the dust and CRIME OF the
open car touring is avoided.
From New York the party drove
through New Jersey mud to Philadel-
phia. At Gettysburg the party toured
the famous battlefield, after which
they went to Pittsburg. A two days
stop was made at Youngstown, Ohio.
Next, Columbus, Ohio was visited, also
Indianapolis. The car had worked per-
fectly from the start.
All through the eastern states and
Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas 1t rain
ed nearly every other day, but the car
could not have worked better. Two
snow storms in Missouri did not inter-
fere with travel or comfort of the par
ty. The roads through the last three
states were in miserable shape from
the heavy rains, they were mud holes.
In Colorado, the roads were of diff
ferent kind-rock and chuck holes
but the engine always pulled up or
down with ease.
In Arizona and New Mexico the
roads were decidedly worse. Time was
taken to visit the petrified forests, a
wonderful sight A side trip took the
Sedan to the Grand Canyon, furnish
ing a surprise to the party and to the
people there, who did not understand
how the Maxwell was enabled to get
over the rough roads.
At Rattoon Pass, N. NJ, the car ROLL
ed up the 5000 feet grade without a
falter.
On the great Mohave desert the Max
we'll met large touring car with a
broken engine. The Maxwell Sedan
lowed the injured car 25 miles through
the sand.
The trip was wonderful one-the
engine giving no trouble-and all the
members of the touring party were de-
lighted with the trip. No repairs were
necessary to any part of the car. There
were few tire troubles.
The trip through Arizona was made
in the face of frequent advice by the
natives that the Sedan could not make
the loose sand roads. Throughout the
trip there was not glass cracked or
