for the first tiInesSih fifty years.
Without giving any notice, Mrs.
Whitfield walked into the Kline home,

introduced herself, Mrs. Whittzel
grasped her sister in her arms and
planted kiss on the lips she had
not touched in fifty years. She then
introduced herself and brought about
the happiest moments in their lives,
they say.
Learns of Sisters Whereabouts
Mrs. Whittzel has spent the past
year visiting with relatives. In Ar

whereabouts and Immediately left
for Chickeshe.
They are now visiting for the first
time since the close of the Civil war
which brought destitution to their
homo in Louisiana and forced Mrs
Whittzel to leave the home and seek
more comfortable quarters.
Mrs. Kline had abandoned hopes
of ever seeing her sister again. She
had given her up as dead. There |
had been no communication between
them since the separation in LouisI-

Those Good Brakes
are aided by special steels
Ala CHoCTAW AVE.

Brakes seem to be one of the
overlooked features of motor
car. In a Maxwell they have
had the extreme of attention.
For instance, road engineer,
in about 100000 miles of ex-
perimental driving, has con-
stantly tested and studied them.
That is why you can check the
speed of Maxwell in an instant
. and bring it to a standstill either
by foot brake or hand brake.
Special steels in Maxwell
5 are largely responsible. They
give it extra strength in wear
/, and endurance, but they make
the car light in weight.

The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1920-06-08

Thus when you call on it to
halt, the brakes are not required
to "wrestle" with superhuous
weight, and the momentum of
the car is easily stopped.
These are steels made to
MaxweIl's own formulae. They
equal, pound for pound, the
steels in any car built. But
no car has steels just like
them.
In large measure they con-
tribute to Maxwell's growing
prestige, as expressed in figures
like these: nearly 100000 now
in use; and 100000 more for
the year 1920.
