You read the advertisements Sc you know that makers. as rule. are nos ~~
modest in that regard.
If you believe them all, they all make supercars.
In your experience, that theory doesn't hold.
Maxwell is different.
We never claim anything we cannot prove.
As matter of fact we never have claimed anything for this Maxwell that has
not already been proved in public test and under official observation.
Maxwell claims are not therefore claims in the ordinary sense-they are state:
ments OF fact proven facts.
Fo- example: The famous 22ooonle Nonstop u vas made with the
Maxwell every minute under observation of the A. A. A. officials
That still remains a worlds record-the worlds record of reliability.
That particular test proved about all that anyone could ask or desire of motor
Among other things it still stands the worlds long distance speed record.
Just consider "a days and nights without a stop, at a average speed of rs
And that, not by $4,000 car, but by a stock model Maxwell listing at 1925:

Now compare those two feats-one CT less than six days, the other Of a. days.
You know automobiles which was the greater test?
Is here any comparison m grounds either of speed.or endurance?
Proves you don't need to pay more than S825 to obtain all the qualities you
cal desire II a motor car-n you select a Maxwell.
For that Maxwell Nonstop IN was made, not OF a track but wei rough
country roads and through city taHac-average Of all kinds Of going.
