Railroad Inadequate. Transportation men artru that it htm been fully and clearly demonstrated for several years now that the railroads cannot completely meet the demands of trafTlc. They see no future hope of relief through the railroads themrelvc?. It is physically Impossible for railroad rolling stock and terminal facilities to meet the fluctuating requirements of demand and supply. There comes tho season for "moving tho crops." That Job alone, which demands speed, vould tax the capacity of tho railroads for pevral months practically to the exclusion of all other business. Then comes the season when coal must be moved in vast quantities and quickly. And thus it goes, transportation men point out. The railroads work met of tho year on thousands of little joba under the handicap of big jots. They point out that trucks ran move in large or small fleets according to ciemand; that they are not restricted to central terminals for !ojding or unloading, but can overom. congestion by moving freely from one to another of tho final l sanations of their loads.

place. When Mr. Casbon opened the bids of seven different contractors ho found that the lowest was $27,000, while the highest was approximately $35,000 for the construction of tho building without a

heating plant. This- difference was' considered to be too reat'and hej decided to build by day labor, throw- i

ing out all bids and calling in the assistance of his architect to supervise the work. With the exception of a few minor details, the building is now com

This Post -War Maxwell is a Rare

Study in Automobile Development

.-V

I, '

WHILE the great plants of the Maxwell were busy in war production the engineering laboratories were working night and day on a Post-War Maxwell. Today this car is in our salesrooms. It expresses in a decisive way the progress of automobile making in this country. Unquestionably it leads the way among cars selling under $1200. There's a new type radiator, larger, more efficient, more l andsome; a new Elliott type front axle, which makes Heering now a tireless pleasure; a new rear axle, heavier, with an indestructible four pinion differential; an improved lectric system; a new idea in an instrument board; a larger and more convenient gear shifting lever ; full crown fenders with wire edge reinforcing, (the front fender aprons are crowned to eliminate all vibration and rattle)'; a new way of anchoring the running board; a larger gas tank, and hungin the rear; a new tire carrier; a new emergency brake, located at the transmission, and not on the rear wheels; a heavier service brake, and equipped with equalizer to

prevent any tendency to skid. Also equipped with Hot Spot and Ram 's-horn.

These are but a few; and yet it is the same fundamental chassis on which 300,000 Maxwells have been built. To miss seeing this Post-War Maxwell is to miss the motor car treat of the year.

y An Unlimite Guarantee

Miller gave to the world uniform long distance mileage when the first Geared-lo-tke-Road Tire was built. It .was then that limited mileage figures no longer counted. Because even those first Miller tires marked a new era in mileage standards. Never has that been altered. Every tire is built to outrun all makers' guarantees. Each is made up to a standard and not down to a mileage guarantee. And having set that pace, Miller Geared to-the-Road tires have kept it. Therefore if ever a Miller Tire shows an imperfection either in workmanship or materials, regardless of the mileage run, fair and liberal adjustment will be made. The constitution of the Miller Rubber Co. always has provided for maximum mileage into Miller tires, and for giving everjr purchaser of any of its manufactured rubber products the greatest return for his money. Its entire organization of 'many thousands of skilled workers is pledged to give you the best of their ability in connection with the finest materials properly handled that can be furnished them.
