“Demonstrated” to Remington In A Gentleman’s Roadster.

N. C. Shafer, the Maxwell man, having offered to demonstrate his cars to us at any time, we asked him to demonstrate us over to Remington a few days ago and he did so. He took us out in the big red racer, which is a gentleman’s roadster and built for fellows who want to “go somV” Its engine has a musical buzz that sounds good and as you speed ever the ground in the most exquisite comfort, you can’t'help but wish that you owned one; not necessarily a gentleman’s roadster but something that approaches the good qualities of a Maxwell. The roadster is a snug built car for two people, apparently for two males, as it is considered that a fellow with a “girl like the other fellow has” would not want a car built just like the roadster. There is a sort of partition between the seats. Just as we rounded the corner to the college road the machine driver let out a little and said something about holding on. It wasn’t hard to hold oh, for the Maxwell rides easy, but we remember that we looked over at the Indian school and then back to see that our suit, case was riding safely and by the time we had turned our eyes to the front again we were going over the slou|h bridge. A large banner extending from the front to* the rear of the ear us from looking to the right and all that could be seen was the left or east side of the road. It was a rapidly moving panorama and although we have made trips over the road a great many times since we started to learn the printer’s trad& on the Remington News way back in ’B9, we never went over there before and observed less en route. Yes, we have traveled it a great many times and have some impressions of many trips, but this trip didn’t give un an opportunity to form any, except to realize that occasionally we went ty a house or a barn, or passed a buggy, and that we arrived safely in Remington in an almost incredible short space of time. The Maxwell is apparently equal to any of the demands made by the public, having strength of construction, a well designed body, a good engine, strong axles and springs and balanced in every particular for speed and comfort. If we had the time and Mr. Schafer the inclination, we would like to climb into his Maxwell red racer and have it “demonstrated” to us every few days. If you want to get some place In a hurry a Maxwell gentleman’s roadster will annihilate space and preserve time better than any modern invention we know anything about. It moves Remington nearer by half the distance.
