BIG AUTO COMFORT
MARKS SMALL CAR
New Design Combines Beauty
And Strength as
Feature.

Many visitors. who have come,
seen and been conquered by the new
series good Maxwell" says a Max
well admirer. have marveled that
this car can offer so much of genu-
inc automobile value for so little
money.
But those who remembered the
promise made more than year
when the new and powerful organi-
cation took control of Maxwell
knew what to expect They knew
that truly beautiful car would be
the result. a fine car that could be
sold at a very moderate price; they
expected the easy riding qualities
that are present in this new series
good MAXWELL the refinement of de-
tail and the perfection of mechan-
ism.
The pledged word Of the. organi.
zation to produce such a car as this
served as the basis for each careful
step in its designing and building,
according to l.. c. Freeman. cxecu-
tive engineer of the Maxwell Motor
Corporation. The power plant, of
proven durability and efficiency
was given the most careful thought.
Parts which need the most attention
were made very accessible: parts
needing protection from weather
and road shocks were so positioned
as to assure such protection. The
result is clean engine. endowed
with all the power and durability
that has long characterized the
good Maxwell along with refine
Wh. oh =
mechanism.
I'm body design the promise made
more than year ago has been ex-
ceeded. The new series good Max
well stands as the first small car "a
be built on large-car lines. This
marks not only a new development
but a new thought in automobile
design. Big-car comfort was
achieved through the use of longer
springs and stronger frame. A
lower car, too, has added to beauty
as we'll as comfort.
The cushions and back rests
were given much thought and their
great riding comfort is due to the
use of specially designed cushion
springs which. while old in type.
are paired in n new combination
calculated to make cushions and
rests well adapted for use by any
and all passengers-big. heavy men
or smaller, lighter women alike.
"Roominess, the thing which
means so much to passengers COM
fort, especially when touring. was
the next feature to be considered
in the fulfillment of the pledge.
The new series good Maxwell is
well endowed with room. But II
has been secured not by furnish
ing a needlessly large body: rather,
through genuine economy of space
Every bit of available space has
been used to the very best ad-
vantage.
In no instance can il be said
that freakish design has played Il
part in good Maxwell construction
merely common sense applied in a
practical way. This car amply
complies with the pledge made by
the organization, and its fulfilment
marks a great new step in the de-
,velopment of the automobile"

called the watchdog Of the owners
pocketbook.
The wise automobIlist checks up
on his speedometer periodically to
insure its accuracy. Then he checks
up regularly on the speedometer's
readings to make sure he is getting
maximum gasoline and oil mileage.
Thus his speedometer tells him II
the component units of the car are
functioning as they should.
Some knowledge of the speedom-
car owner who would keep 1t in
proper condition for the work II
must do.
Four Types of Speedometer.
Four definite types of speedom-
eters-the English prefer to call
them "odometers"-are in use.
These are magnetic. centrifugal.
hydraulic and air-actuated. The
magnetic type is probably most
common.
This type employs but one NOV
ing part-a circular magnet. over
this. but not touching It. is an in
vereted metallic cup. on the rim OF
which is a row of figures that indl-
cate the miles per hour. The mag
its field acting on the dial cup. AS
the MAGNETS speed increases, so
does it's magnetic pull. Thus the
dial cup is drawn around to moi
cate the increased speed.
All speedometers have certain
characteristics in common; the va
riations are in the means employed
of actuating the mileage dial. All
these instruments have a rotating
shaft that is flexible and is housed
in a flexible housing running to
some moving part of the mechan-
ism, usually the front wheel.
Needs Expert Care.
While it practically has been the
universal custom to connect the
speedometer with a front wheel.
recently the idea of utilizing the
propeller shaft has come into
marked favor. A few makers are
connecting the speedometer with
the transmission unit. and claims
of maximum quiet, perfect lubrica-
ton and protection are made for
this location.
When something goes wrong
with the speedometer itself the
car owner is advised to take ii to
the service station. He would
stand just as much chance of re-
pairing his watch as this instru-
ment.
Another thing to watch is in
making a change from one size
tire to another on the wheel that
drives the speedOmeter. This will
make the readings inaccurate.
Even a change to oversize will
cause inaccuracy."

EDOMETER CALLED THE WATCHDOG OF THE MOTORISTS POCKETBOOK

no Improvement in the ordinary tire
valve" says II. ]. Adair, vice-pres-
ident of the Trexler Company. I'VE
feel that thousands of motorists
have been waiting for just this bad
ly needed improvement. We have
had a wonderful response from all
who have seen this lock. We feel
1t is one of the finest inventions for
the automobile since the cord tire,
and frees the motorist from one Of
his most arduous duties"
The damage to tires from under
initiation runs into millions of dol
lars In this country each year. in
spite Of the intention of most car
owners to keep their tires at normal
pressure. With the Trek air valve
lock there are no duties for the
motorist to perform, and yet
through the constant pressure IL
eliminates the cause OF rim-cutting
and premature blowouts. and this
adds to the life Of the tire.
The Quaker City Cab Company Of
Philadelphia. one of the best known
taxi services in the country, have
tested the Tex lock thoroughly.
They write: I'VE took our air pres
sure each day in each tire for each
car. and found that with the Trek
air valve lock the pressure is al
ways the same" In many other ex-

REPAIR OF TIRES
REQUIRES EXPERT
Warns Owners Against Deal
ing With Inefficient Tire
WOrkmen.

A question the car owner has al
ways to face lies in the problem
whether or not it will pay to have
his tires repaired. 1t is necessary
to decide If the additional expense
involved will be repaired by added
service.
There can be no question of the
value of timely repairs well done
by competent, reliable repair man.
AS matter of fact the tire owners
cannot, as rule, detect whether
the tire is worth while repairing
and must rely on the >vulcanizer to
make an expert examination to de-
termine whether the body of the
tire Is in good condition. Fabric
should not be broken in more than
one place around tire and IL there
is separation of the plies at diff
erent points a repair is inadvisable.
Soon Becomes Expert.
Repairmen become expert in the
detection of conditions that would
not warrant further expenses in the
way of repairing by simply exam
ming the tire, and before giving a
definite order, tire owners should
seek advice from a reliable vulcan
izer who, realizing the service he
must render in order to retain his
customer, will invariably give an
unbiased opinion.
The majority of tire repairmen
have gone through an intensive
schooling. They know all about
tires and in many instances have
actually built them. They under
stand the different kinds of mate
rails that make the most successful
repairs. how to combine them, the
processes of vulcanization. duplicat-
Ing the tires tread pattern and, in
snort, are in a position to add all
the service to the tire that the ex-

new AIR VALVE
STOPS IMITATION
TROUBLES, CLAIM
Fifteen Years Find no
Improvement on Valves,
Says Adair.

A nation-wide advertising and
merchandising campaign started
this month for the Trek" Air Valve
Lock, which has been invented to
prevent tire valve leakage and end
initiation troubles.
This new lock replaces the or
binary rubber-seated air valve in
the automobile tire and Is attached
by taking out the valve insides and
screwing the new lock onto the
valve stem securely. II Is all metal
and locks the air passage.
For fifteen years there has been

increased mileage and protect him
self from loss.
At a banquet held at the Racquet
Club in Philadelphia recently. the
district sales managers from ali
over the country were present and
the national campaign for the Trek
lock was launched. This company
has marketed a number of auto
motive products. but the Trek lock
will be pushed in a much larger
way than any previous article.
The Trek lock Is being marketed
through established jobbers and
dealers. Several national mediums
and trade papers are being used as
well as billboarCs. counter displays
and other types OF oesler helps.

Pump Packing.

Either working. lead or graphite,
or loose, twisted asbestos rome
packing should be used for packing
water pump glands. When the as
bestos is used, it should be soaked
thoroughly in cylinder oil and COW
e-ed with fine flake graphite. 1t
should be coiled around the shaft in
the direction of turn of the gland
nut, and this latter should not be
frightened more than enough to pre-
vent leakage of water. The wrench
should not be put on this nut.
