During the last five years an average of fifty truck makers have gone out of business each year. Less than eight per cent of the truck: manufacturers in busi- ness today have been in business for over five years. ' A still smaller percentage of the trucks offered in Canada'are made in Canada-- can give service in the spot. The Maxwell ¥s built in Canada. By a nationally-known institution. . By an institution that has a big investment in a Canadian plant. 'By an institution that has an unequalled ufacturing record. By an instipfftion th&t has built up a vast dealer organization i Canada from coast to coast. z Maxwell concentrates on a one-and-a- half-ton job. Output is developed on a ound manufacturing basis. Large-scale - selling makes it worth- while for dealers to handle. the Maxwell Truck---and to carry M. Oberndorffer 124 Clarence St., Kingston ore miles por gallon ove miles om tires Maxwell parts, and complete. * The' Maxwell is a safe investment. And it is a better truck. Not a mere assembled mechanism-- but a scientific engineering job designed to carry economically four out of every five loads. Delivers more work in the same time than lighter trucks, incompletely equipped. Costs much less to buy, much less to operate, much less to maintain than trucks that can do only slightly more Work. Costs several hundred dollars less than other trucks of the same capacity. Lasts longer, depreciates less and commands a high resale price at all times. Saving time, earning profits for farth- ers, manufacturers, jobbers, wholesalers and retailers in every province in Canada. Put it to work in your business. Chassis Price--$1,550 f.0.b. Windsor.
