While driving along the road he ran over a rattle snake, had to slacken his car because of a couple of woodchucks which scamper- ed ahead of him and, finally, on turning a sharp cornea, almost ran into a big, shaggy, black bear which was squatted in the middle of the road. As the car approached bruin scrambled off into the woods and the busy editor was allowed to go his way. He, the editor in question, declares, however, that he did actual- ly see them all, the snake, the wood- chucks and the bear, and, knowing that 'the folk up in the Bruce Pen- insula ate all law-abiding people, whose strongest beverage le coffee or green tea, we're inclined to believe him.

Nor do , they accept mere promises— being careful buyers they demand proofs. Perhaps the very fact that we never have made a claim for this car that has not been backed up by proof in the form of official records, accounts inpart at least, for the pre- dominance of Maxwells. Another reason -and unquestionably a potent one—is the fact that there are no freak feat- ures, no inventions, no radical innovations in this product. We do not attempt to invent new devices or to supplant tried and proven units with others of our own discovery. Every unit in this Maxwell—motor, clutch, transmission, axles, steering gear, etc. --is of standard type — though designed and made a little better, we believe, by the Maxwell organization. For five years this model has remained prac tically unchanged.
