Proof of Performance Again.
Won First and Third in 300-Mile
biaha Speedway Race, July 5th
I
a
Maxwell's
Victories on
Speedways is
Prooof of
Durability
and Depend-ahilty.
F Winning a big speedway race is the
ultimate aim of every manufacturer. It is the
proof of performance of every car. It is an actual
test of motor, of lubrication, of springs, of steer
ing gear, of axle. It is the most severe test to
which an automobile can be subjected. No car
of ordinary mechanism can live through a 300
rpile race, run at average speed of 91 miles an hour.
tF Winning the Omaha race was only
one of the Maxwell's many victories this year.
The same construction which makes victory possi
ble on the Speedway makes the Maxwell foremost
as a great family car. The family car, such as
we are selling in Nebraska every day, has the
same powerful motor, the same improved lubri
cating system, the same style of axles, the same
general design and mechanism as the cars which
have been invincible on the speedways of the
country the last few months. The Maxwell is
priced so that every man can own it. It is built
so that every family can use it.
