Right in this town —and all over the country—are men and women who have been driving different makes of cars for years, who now drive and swear by their Maxwells. Each year they used to buy a different make, trying to find a car which would suit them exactly. When the 1915 Maxwell “Wonder Car” —with its 17 new features and new low price of $695, was announced—these “motor wise” men began investigating it. They didn’t take our word or any-
body’s word for it —they looked into it themselves. They found the Maxwell to be a handsome, powerful, easy-riding car. They compared it with cars that sell at double the Maxwell’s price. They found that the Maxwell contained every worth-while up-to-date high-priced car feature. They tested the Maxwell on hills and on the level on really tough roads. They made it prove its ability to run at low cost over all sorts of roads.
Then they began buying and talking about the Maxwell. To-day 38,000 enthusiastic people are driving these Maxwells. Of these a great big percentage owned other makes of cars before they bought their Maxwells. Use your common sense when you buy your automobile. Don’t be talked into an extravagant car or a car that hasn’t had the “acid test’* of time. Don’t let them experiment at your expense.
Read This List of Expensive Features. The 1915 Maxwell Has These Features And Many Others.
Attractive Streamline Body Pure streamline body; graceful crown fenders. With all rivets concealed. AH the grace, style and “snap” that you will find in any of the highest ■priced cars. 0 A High-Tension Magneto Nearly all the high priced cars have high tension ■magnetos. A high tension magneto gives positive Ignition. The Simms magneto, with which the Maxwell is equipped, is recognized as one of the best magnetos made. Left Sida Drive—Central Control Left side steer with gear shifting levers in center of driving compartment—center control—has been accepted by leading makers of expensive automobiles as the safest and most comfortable for the driver ; that is why the Maxwell has it. The Maxwell is so easy to drive and control .that a child can handle it. Three-Speed Sliding Geer Transmission All high priced cars have a sliding gear transmission. It is costly to make, but it is the best. If the motor has the power,, sliding gears will
pull the car out of any mud or sand. The Maxwall has a three-speed selective sliding gear transmission because Maxwell engineers do not consider any other type to be worthy of the Maxwell car. Double-Shell Radiator with Shock Absorbing Device The Maxwell radiator is of handsomo design, gracefully curved, and it is built to be trouble proof. It is the expensive double shell type and has ample cooling capacity. The radiator is mounted to the frame by means of a shock absorbing device on each side, which relieves the radiator of all twists and distortions of the frame, caused by roughness of the road. The shock absorbing device also minimizes the possibility of radiator leaks. The Roomy Full 5-Passengcr Body Adjustable Front Seat The 1915 Maxwell has a full grown 5-passenger body. The front seat is adjustable, you can move it three inches forward or backward. This makes the car really comfortable for the driver. No cramped legs for tall people or uncomfortable reaching for short people. Most drivers’ seats are made to fit anyone—so fit no one. ■
Low “Up-keep” Carburetor The carburetor used on the Maxwell was lally designed for it after long and severe tests under every conceivable condition. Economy tours conducted by hundreds of dealers and owners in different sections of the country have proved its efficiency, its quick response to throttle and Its extremely low consumption of gasoline. It has been termed the “low up-keep" carburetor. Irreversible Steering Gear The greatest margin of safety has been provided in the steering gear of the 1915 Maxwell. The Maxwell irreversible steering mechanism is of the expensive worm-and-gear type and its superiority over every other type lies in its many adjustments. At no time is more than a fourth of the bearing surface of the gear which operates the worm in use. When needed, a new bearing surface may be had by adjusting the gear a quarter of a turn, In short, the Maxwell steering gear has four times the adjustment of any other kind. Heavy Ccr Comfort What surprises most'people is the smooth, buoy-
ant riding qualities of th® Maxwell. The Spring suspension of the 1915 Maxwell is the same costly combination of long semi-elliptical front springs and the three-quarter elliptic rear springs that is used on most heavy weight, high priced cars. The Maxwell offers you every essential of the highest priced machines at a fifth of their cost. One Size of Tire —Anti-Skids on Rear The Maxwell car is one of the easiest cars in the world on tires. Maxwell owners carry but one spare tire and but one size of spare tubes. Economical 30 inch x 3J4 inch tires are used all around. A famous mako of anti-skid tires are supplied on tear wheels. A Dependable Electric Starter For 555 extra, you can have your Maxwell delivered equipped with the famous Simms-Huff electric starter. This starter is efficient, trouble proof and easily operated. And thfe Maxwell is completely equipped from the Clear vision, ventilating windshield at the front to the spare tire carrier at the rear. When you buy a Maxwell you have nothing extra to buy.
