The Maxwell Motor Car has stood the supreme endur- ance test. It has run 44 consecutive days and nighis without a single stop of the motor, covering 22,022 miles. This official record was made by the Maxwell under the observa- tion of the American Automobile Association.
If prospective motor car buyers could read the testimon- ials from Maxwell drivers, they would marvel how so sturdy and dependable a car could be made at so low a price.
And endurance in a Maxwell Car has not been attained by sacrificing speed, comfort or, economy to the owner.
