The 1917
cn
Year
Marks a New Era
The Scripps-Booth entry into the medium priced field marked
new era in motor car manufacture.
Men have built cars to sell at even lower price, but none have
built cars of Scripps-Booth design, luxury and sustained power, to
tell at anywhere near its price.
THE MOST HANDSOME CAR
The most handsome and atylish car on the market this year is
Scrippa-Booth. The individual refinement of ita lines, the construc
tional details and the finish set it apart from the usual run of cars.
For no other car is anything like it in appearanceno other
car makes quite the same appeal to your sense of the truly beautiful.
At the first glance you instinctively feel that you have found something-
superior, something different, and the mental impression is
confirmed when you examine its construction.
Power to spare sustained power lightness of weight, yet it
, holds the road at the highest speed without a suggestion of side-sway
giving you a sense of security and realization of comfort.
Money can not buy better quality of material than goes into
the Scripps-Booth, from upholstering to rear axle.
SERVICE THAT EXCELS
Before we had sold a Scripps-Booth ear we planned and per
fected a Service 'Policy, using as a basis the other side of the ques
tion the owner's view point. This service is freely and cheerfully
rendered, not in any sense as an accommodation to customers, but
because it is theirs just as much as the car itself.
We realize a fixed profit on every car sold, from which a cer
tain per cent is set aside to the credit of "Owners' Service Fund,"
consequently the cost of service is not considered by us, as an ex
pense, but merely a withdrawal of funds left in our keeping.
This service is maintained day and night and you have only to
ask any or all Scripps-Booth owners in Omaha as to our right to the
claim SERVICE THAT EXCELS.
With the arrival of our first shipment of ears we received a
complete stock of repair parts, which have been added to from time
to time so that we now have practically everything that might be- re
tjuired under any circumstance, and by special arrangement with the
factory at Detroit we have a guarantee of thirty-six hours' delivery
on anything not in stock that might be ordered in ease of emergency.
Scripps-Booth cars have proven themselves "have stood up,"
and are in constant service, not only in Omaha and other cities, but
in the Sandhills, Mountains and Plains.
i Our methods and policies have the approval of our customers
ind business associates.
Our business has prospered, and I. as individual owner, am
proud of the results attained and of the assurance of continued
luccess.

High priced car owners
turning to the Maxwell!
The man who buys an extrav
agant motor car because of an
extra coat of varnish or such
extra equipment as a cigar light
er or a vanity case) is certain to
get tired of his bargain.
Sooner or later the continu
ally high upkeep expense will
become too much for nim. Then
he turns to the Maxwell. Thou
sands of owners are doing this
very thing.
The Maxwell offers the same
service, appearance, comfort
and convenience at only $635
f. o. b. Detroit. It is all the car
you want all you can use and
it is foolish to pay more than the
Maxwell price it's simply
extravagance.
The best time to find out
about real motor car values
about which car is going to please
you is before you make the pur
chase. Let us show you the Max
well and explain the statements
in detail that we have made here.
