Paris, Dec. 2l.--'Doctor Yum" isn't
a doctor, reslly--that is, he has never
been inside of a medical school He
is not commissioned officef, either.
Two days after the war was declared
in America he enlisted in one of the
cities of the middle west and came
over as a private. He is a sergeant
now. His eXperiences-driving an
ambulance at first and after that in
the front line and then in various
camps in France till he was sent to a
base hospital as patient, would fill
se@ral diaries, if he keeps such
things, which l doubt.
But there are a good many men in
that base hospital who owe their re-
turning health TO him, after they had
been in bed for weeks and even
months. Now although they admit
that he is well again, they will not let
him so from the hospital, because a
transfer is q long and tedious bust
ness 70 bring about and they need
him there to help out with the pa
tents.
He was only out of bed a day or so
when he came across two boys in one
of the wards who had been in the hos
pital since April. one of them had
been an interpreter with the French
army and the other was marine
from Chateau Thierry. They had been
shell-shocked, and in all these months
from April to September--they had
grown scarcely any better.
Captain Sergeant Van said one
morning to the doctor in charge of
the ward, do you mind if ! see what
! can do for those men? ] think !
may be able to hedp them out a bit,
If YOU don't mind"
The captain looked at him inter-
estedly. II ii had been any other man
the captain would have been indiffer-
emit perhaps But Sergeant Van has a
a way with him
What do you want to do with
them ?" he wanted 10 know.
I'D just like to talk to them a bit,
sir, now and then" Sergeant Van said,
The captain threw up his hands.
"Kamerad" he cried joyfully.
top Of the earth
Il was meaning it, sir" the SER
gcant said, steadily,
oh. so ahead, Van" the captain
agreed DO anything you blame
please
The next morning. on his rounds,
the captain stopped beside the bed of
the first of the two men who had been
shell-shocked.
Behold. He Spoke.
"How's it coming this morning,
boys?" he asked.
'F-f--fine sir" was the answer, a
little unsteadily given, perhaps, but
the captain did not notice that. He
sat down on the bed and looked at
the boy in amazement. Those We're
the first words he had spoken aloud
since the day he had come to the hos
ptal, unconscious, five months be-
fore.
At that moment Sergeant Van hove
into sight from the diet kitchen. He
had plate of milk toast in his hands

Maxwell Motor Cars do not belong to
the Cheap Car Class" This product is
the undisputed leader in the Refined
Car Class.
BY refined" we mean in a mechanical
sense.
Maxwells are not made to fit pre-
determined, nor to meet competitive,
price.
They are designed to fill a certain def
mite demand for light car of quality
internally as well as in outward APP
pearance.
We first make the car as it should be
made, then set the price.
We do not cut our price to meet the
price of a car of inferior qualify.
Nor did we, as we have shown, take ad-
vantage of a wartime excuse to raise
the price to fictitious figure.
Had the war continued and we had not
made another car, the buyer of the last
Maxwell would have paid the regular
price--and no more.
The Maxwell policy is clean and it is
consistent--we are not Opportunities" in
business.
Those changes and refinements in this
new 1912 model actually cost more
than the difference between its price
and that of the 1918 model.
So the price of his new Maxwell should
have been more.
But we are content to accept a smaller
margin of profit per car in the interest
of greater volume so have continued
that price on this 1919 model.
There are today more Maxwells in
hands of users than of any comparable
carve are counting on the splendid
quality with the low price of this latest
model to maintain that leadership.
"But talk is all right" you say.
You want something definite, something
tangible to tie to-
Very well-here is your guarantee.
Price of the Maxwell Motor Car today
(Touring or Roadster model) is $4,000
f. o. b. Detroit, Michigan, and we abso-
lutely guarantee that price until June
next, 1919.
Every Maxwell dealer is authorized to
give you that guarantee in writing at
time of purchase of your car.
Some makers have announced reduc-
tions-others will follow.
So far, however, we have seen no real
reductions-though there have been
some genuine increases of price since
the war closed. There will be more of
the latter too!
In buying a Maxwell Motor Car you
know precisely where you stand.
And our guarantee of the price is your
best guarantee of the intrinsic value Of
this product. se.8
So buy the Maxwell you need-get your
order in early.

rs per cent advance now over his then
prices (even after his recent reduction.)
Is it not logical to assume that as his
price yesterday was fictitious, it is still
almost equally so?
1t costs more to build a motor car today
than did year ago.
Materials are higher-wages are high
err. All costs are higher.
1t will continue for a long time to come
on the present scale we believe.
Tell you why
Materials are now in demand by the
whole world-wilI continue to be dur
ing the years of reconstruction in Eu-
rope.
Especially is this SO in the case of steel,
copper and other minerals.
Rubber also will likely range higher.
Rubber is the biggest single item of cost
in a motor car and it is in great de-
mand
Wages will never go back to the pre-
war scale.
Every student of the problem is now
agreed upon that.
You have read in the newspapers lately
the statement by the United States Steel
Corporation that that concern is not go
ing to reduce wages-and that concern
is the biggest employer of labor in the
world
1t is well!-pass the prosperity around
and we will all get our share.
If the mechanic gets more pay, all lines
of business benefit-and more people
are able to buy motor cars.
We can see no reason to expect that the
cost of manufacturing a Maxwell Motor
Car will be less in year from now
than it is today.
War or no war, the price of Maxwell
product would have been precisely what
it is today.
We did take advantage of the War
time condition-but only to incorporate
in this new model several changes and
improvements. 4 @
Factory busy ON war work, our engi-
neers and toolmakers had a brief re-
spite-and eused that to perfect the
Maxwell product.
We have spent more than 100000 on
special tools for more accurate finishing
of parts.
Cylinders are now ground after ream-
ing-formerly only reamed. That is
only one of many similar refinements.
This new 1919 model Maxwell, deliver
les of which will begin Immediately, is
a superior product.
1t is larger cara more commodious
body. Gasoline tank is at rear instead
of under front seat-costs more, worth
it.
The new Pantasote top adds greatly to
appearance as well as to serviceabiltiy.
Graceful in design. In quality-the
best. 1907
Seats are deeper, softer-better springs,
better materials.
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1918-12-22

Recently you have seen announcements
of price reductions on some makes of
motor cars.
These seeming reductions 1--WE use the
term seeming advisedlyD have given
the average buyer an erroneous i'm
preston.
That impression is to the effect that
the price of motor cars generally is
above normal and will come down in
The near future,
Now, as matter of fact that is not the
condition at all.
There is no warrant for any such as
sumption.
Just analyze the situation yourself and
see if our statements are justified
Recall the prices that existed on certain
makes of automobiles before the United
States went into the war and compare
the prices of those same cars today.
You'll find that any reductions that have
been made were necessary.
In word, they apply only to cars that
were over-priced-war-time priced--be-
fore such reductions. s
For example Consider four makes of
cars that formerly were priced in close
competition with the Maxwell
Compare their pre-war (normaD prices;
their wartime peak" prices and their
present reduced" prices. Well desig-
nate them "a" 3D." &C" and 3D."
Wartime
Pre-War peak" Present
Car "A" $795.OO $1095.Oo $e85.OO
Car "B" $4,000 1295O0 1880
Car &C" $500 $500 745.OO
Car %" 1880 $500 $500
From the above it is clear that some
reduced" prices are still too high.
For when the price of product was
increased by 33 per cent and then
dropped back ten per cent, you can't
say it has yet been put back where it
belongs
And that is just what happened in sew
eral cases.
just consider moment
IF maker is able to drop back to "pre-
war" prices today, on what basis did he
justify his wartime price? And espec-
tally his most recent wartime peak
price?
Certainly he bought no materials while
we were in the war--he could not
If he bought them before, then he
Bought them at the same rates we did!
In that case there was no real reason
for his excessive wartime peak" price.
If he cannot justify his prices of yester-
day, can you accept his statement to-
day?
Only gauge you have as to the intrinsic
value of his product is-its pre.war
price. =
Especially is this SO If the model he is
offering you today is precisely the same
model he offered you then but at 20 to
