A. E. Shafer & Son Win Ninth Maxwell Economy Test Prize. A. E. Shafer & Son, proprietors of the Main garage and local agents for the Maxwell automobile, on Thursday received a check for SSO from the Maxwell corporation, representing the ninth prize in the second division of the recent Maxwell fuel economy test, in towns of 3,000 and under, in the U. S. and Canada.

Along with all other Maxwell dealers throughout the country Messrs. Shafer & Son took part in the contest, using several local cars. The car to win the prize belongs to C. E. Prior, and was driven 36.8 miles on one gallon of gasoline. In the near future the Maxwell corporation will conduct another cntest, which will be open to every owner of a Maxwell auto. Because of the unusual record made by Mr. Prior’s car he will no doubt enter the coming contest.
