CARS.

Heause the operating cost, has been too high?

AVE you changed from one motor car to another

A Maxwell Motor Car stays out of the repair shop. It goes on and on. And yet its price is remarkably low. Why?

We buy raw materials in great quantities. We build no engineering" knick knacks" into a Marwell.

Our road engineers spend twelve months a year testing Marwell Care for weaknesses. They find the mistakes, if there are any, before they get into production. The mistakes are not passed on to you.

300,000 Maxwell Cars have been built on the original simple chassis design. Five years concentration on one good chassis design leads to perfection.

All uneven action is taken out of the Maxwell Car by our engineering department.
