, toUSJNEiS NOTICE*. THE MARVELLOUS MAXWELL. UNIQUE DEMONSTRATION AT ! TEMUKA. EXCITEMENT ran high in the 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;.' authorities regarded as unparalleled*in the records of motorcar sfficiencj.In order to prove the truth of this story Mr J. G. Andrews, importer and MAXWELL AGENT in South. Canterbury, gar© a demonstration to the people of Temuka on July 26, 1915. Taking a, shipment of eighi "25's" not long unpacked, one car was turned up ready for the road, while the remaining seven, just as they came out of the cases, were attached to the car under test by means of ropes. A steersman accompanied each car, and the aggregate weight touched close on the seventon mark. On starting the towing MAXWELL held to her load easily and without shock, gaining pace in good style until a halt was railed in the main street. On re-startipg a repetition of the first highly satisfactory conditions was achieved, and the demonstration concluded with the succssful negotiation of a slight gradient. 'This remarkable teat not only capped thu MAXWELL'S New York record, but proved to an even greater degree the strength and flexibility of the" MA.XWKLL dutch. This clutch, running in ;vu (.il-liath, is a foature of that king of cars, the Rolls-Royce, and is of vital importance in motor-car construction.- In all other respects the MAXWELL '"■&" represents "the last word."' wlik-h accounts for, its increasing popularity amongst fh« motoring public.
