THE MARVELLOUS MAXWELL. UNIQUE DEMONSTRATION AT TEMUKA. TJIXGITEMENT "' ran high in the WIA streets of New York city recently at the sight of a little MAXWELL "25" towing a huge waggon loaded with five tons of coal. The car was observed to stop at frequent intervals and then start again, the object of the driver being to show that the re-start could -be ■■- made : without the slightest shock, or jerk to the automobile. Several gradients were, taken smoothly during this undeniably good test which the MAXWELL authoritiesy regarded. as unparalleled-in the records of motorcar efficiency. i"'ln order to prove the truth of this story Mr J. G. Andrews, importer and MAXWELL AGENT in : South Canterbury, gave a demonstration to the people of Teniuka on July 26, 1915. Tak- < ing a shipment of eight "25's" not long unpacked, one car was turned, up ready for the road, while the remain-.ing-seven, just as they came out of the ; cases, were attached to the .car under test-by means of ropes. A steersman accompanied each ear, and the aggre-j gate weight touched close on the seven-1 ton mark. On starting the towing MAXWELL held to her load easily and without shock, gaining pace in good style until a halt was called in the main street. On re-starting a repetition of the first highly satisfactory conditions was achieved, and tiio demonstration concluded with t-hy sucfs-ful negotiation of a slight gradifui. Tlrs remarkable test not only i-ayped l\w. MAXWELL'S New York record, but proved to an even greater decree tin- ,stri.!U.^th and flexibility of th« MAXWKLi, clutch. This clutch, nHin'mg i.n an o:l-b:ith, is a feature of ' that kin?; of cars, the Rolls-Royce, and is of vit«l importance in motor-car construct.'.™!. I« all other respects the MAXWK'iX "2o" represents, "tho last word,"" which accounts for its increasing popularity amongst the motoring public. FOWLER'S ENGINES FOR SALE. One Class "R" (8-H.P.)
