MAXWELL CARS.

To do one thing well-to do it better, day after day, tells the story that made building 800,000 Maxwell Motor Cars on the original, simple chassis design possible.

:

The Maxwell owner feels proud of the performance of his Maxwell Car. It has justly earned the reputation of the thrift car because it runs most railes per gallon of petrol and most miles per tyre with exceptionally low cost for spares.

And the striking appearance of to-day's Maxwell marks one of the many steps in the refinement of a remarkable, low. priced motor ear.

The discovery is said to be the most sensational event for years in the wine trade, and the fact that half of it has already been sold in Britain on the names of the wines alone is a severe blow tö the Pussyfoot campaign.

Messrs. Berry Brothers, of 3, St. James' Street, W., are the purchasers, and they received intimation of the existence of the wine by a letter received from a Belgian commission agent. "Inquiries showed that he was acting on behalf of some im poverished families of Liege, the proprieters of the wine," said Mr. F.

Mr. Tyndale said he knew of a particular district in South Wales where contracts for the bargain and sale of a wife were often entered into. He added that he had advised in such cases more than once.
