THAT we have built 300,000 Maxwell Motor Cars on the original, simple chassis design does not mean that there have been no improvements in building Maxwell Care.
Many improvements have made it possible to keep in advance of general progress; thus the Maxwell Car is so mechanically correct that it runs the most miles per gallon of petrol and most miles per tyre..
New purchasers of Maxwell Cars are justly proud of the appearance of to-day's. Maxwell. Confidentially they will tell you that they thought the price would be greater, You will agree with them if you will investigate.
