o a9 ts e1 world Of course that the Maxwell Motor Carl the long distance champion
You have read that a "sock" Maxwell 5pssengr car ran for a. days and
nights without stopping the motor.
And that, in the "a days nonstop test, the Maxwell covered 22022 miles, at
an average speed of rs miles per hour.
But have you, up to now, realized the full significance of that performance?
Do you know that no other motor ar in the world has We equaned Or ven
approached that performance?
In word, did you take this test seriously when you heard of i7
to talk about?
It's worth your while to read and to study the conditions under which that test
was made.
You know that the American Automobile Association famIiary known a the
"AAA.D is the official arbher of every automobile test and contest
But perhaps you ddnt know that when a maker P places his product ags under der A Raad
That's why there are so few A.AA. Official RecoTdsl
This D. 900 mile Maxwell nonstop test vas official from start to finish.
Therein lies its value to you.
1t proves absolutely the quality of the car-of the very Maxwell you buy.
For verify this was a stock Maxwell. Listen
First: the inspectors dsassembed the motor to see that no special pstons, Valves
bearing metal or other parts had been used.
Every other unit was as critically inspected. Then the car was re-assembed

And it will have to go some.
For Maxwell set the standard when it performed this wonderful feat.
