Quantity proâ€" duction is the reason for this. NE thousand times around the equator is about the mileage of all Maxwell trucks now in use. What this tremendous mileage has taught may be found in the Maxwell truck you buy today. That is why the Maxwell is so practical, why it is so hardy, why it seldom needs mechanical attenâ€" tion, why it is always a delight for engineers to look over. It is every man‘s truck. It is not a road rolling monster. Neither is it light and flimsy. It will carry 80%% of the different kinds of loads conveyed by horse or motor. For the keen engineering done in this remarkable carrier of freight has not been laboratory engineering but road engineering. Pays for itsceif as it runs. See it and save.
