BAKER EXETER, ONT , 0 When you set out to select the motor Car that will best suit your own particular needs and your purse, you demand as primary requisites, the highest degree of reliability with economy of operation. And every -salesman you meet insists his car is that car. If you are informed, as you should be, you are liable to quote some of those Maxwell records—to see what he will say, mostly. He must say something and usually he affects to disbelieve those records. • You remind him that they are official —made under the sanction and supervision of A. A. A. officials. Then he insists that his car will do as well or better. Your cue, at this point, is to ask that per- fectly fair and most pertinent question, "Then why doesn't your car go out and do it?" We'll tell you why—it can't. Any Maxwell salesman can take you through this car, from motor to rear axle, taking up in turn every unit and comparing design and construction and strengths with any and all other cars of similar size and capacity. And he will show you right there why this Maxwell can, and that rival can't. For it is all there—in the design; in the dimensions of parts; in the quality of ma- terials and in the •leaking. Let him show you. He will take all the time you will give him -----and you owe it to yourself to know before you decide. Then when any salesman tries to convince you that you ought to pay $100 or $150 or $200 more for a motor car—ask him to show you one as good as this Maxwell. Insist on proofs ---not mere statements. For if a car will do it, surely that fact is susceptible of proof. "Claims are all right, but only proofs count." That is the Maxwell slogan. If you would have the claims and promises of salesmen backed by proofs, and in official form -•--that car must be a Maxwell. ELGiN CLOSE SEAEORTH
