axwi <rIKe“Wcmc(er Gar & The Powerful Motor of the Maxwell This is one of the most marvelous pieces of machinery ever invented. Very powerful with four cylinders cast en bloc it has made the Maxwell famous as “The Car that Laughs at Hills.” Best of all this motor is breaking all low cost records for: 1st—Miles per gallon of gasoline. 2nd—Miles per quart of lubricating oil. 3rd—Lowest year-in-and-year-out repair bills. We are waiting to take you for a test ride in the car that has broken all low “First-Cost” records, and is breaking all low “After-Cost” records. *OneMariMofiairEp Demountable Fims Fgin Vision Windshield ' Electric Starter \BectricLights ^Magneto Ignition f.O.B DETROIT "Cveiyjfyadisa Maxwell.

A VERY PLEASANT FORMALITY But Marks a Milestone in Mutually Profitable Business and Relations Formal renewal of contract rela tions between the Maxwell Motor Sales Corporation of Detroit, and A. O. Lewis of this city, have been made jn the ratification of the local firm’s contract and its return, bearing the signature of Assistant Sales Manager C. E. Stebbins of the Detroit factory. The Maxwell line is thereby assured, for another year, representation "which has been found adequate and satisfactory. While ratification of the contract by the Maxwell people was little more than a mere formality—“Once a Maxwell dealer, always a Maxwell dealer” is an axiom of President Wal ter E. Flanders—members of the lo cal organization are all enthusiastic over the assumption of another year's alliance. “We picked the Maxwell in the first place; we believed we could make more money handling it than any other type of cars,” said Mr. Lewis. “Our experience has justified our choice. Though the margin of profit on a $655 car is necessarily small, the volume of sales is great, provided al ways that the car satisfies its owners as the Maxwell does. “We are expecting even greater things in the coming season. The cars are larger, handsomer and more powerful than last year’s. They will have behind them a sales impetus given by the satisfactory performance .if the cars we have already sold. Our own service department has shown its ability to keep every Maxwell car in our territory at top efficiency all the time, and the factory has a mag nificent system of keeping us sup plied with anything we may need. “Manufacturing economies that have been put in force5 at the De troit, Dayton and Newcastle Maxwell plants have made possible a big cut in the price of the car this year. We are now able to show a combination of style and mechanical ability that is absolutely unique. The first shipment of the new Max wells is already 011 view at the local salesroom, and amply makes good the enthusiasm of the sales force. In addition to a number of mechanical changes, the new Maxwell has a heart-shaped radiator chown, in creased seating room, demountable rims, one-man type top and is fur nished complete with electrical equipment at the list price. A clutch running entirely in oil is a feature that adds greatly to the smoothness of operation. In specifications and in general lines the car shows plainly its right to a heritage of sturdiness, descended from a long line of Maxwell ancestors. London, England,—English women who have always looked on the use of rouge as bad taste,are beginning to use it in large quantities. The makers of cosmetics say that worry from the war is making the women pale and that they are resorting to paints and powders in desperation. FOR SALE DUROC JERSEY BOARS Priced to sell.
