. TH£ MARVELLOUS MAXWELL. UNIQUE DEMONSTRATION AT TEMUKA. , EXCITEMENT ran high in the streets of New York city recently >.t;'.the. sighb 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 fe-start could hs> made ■ without the slightest shock or jerk to the automobile. Several gradionts were taken - smoothly during this undeniably good test which the MAXWELL authorities regarded as unparalleled in the records of motorcar efficiency. .'..•.' " In order to prove the truth of this htorj Mr J. G ./Andrews, importer and MAXWELL AGENT in South CanterMiry, gave a demonstration to'the people of Temuka on July 26, 1915. Taking a shipment of eight "25's". not long unpacked, one car was turned up ready for the road, while, tho remaining seven, just as they came out of the cases, wore 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 citiied in the main street. On re-starting-a. repetition of the first highly satisfactory conditions was achieved, and tho demonstration concluded with the siicessful negotiation of » slight gradient. Tl;:s remarkable test not only enppod the- MAXWELL'S Neir York record, but .proved'to an even greater degree th:- strow^th and flexibility of tho MAXWF.LL" dutch. This clutch, running; in an oil-bath, is a feature cfthsir king of cars, the Rolls-Royce, and is of vital, importance in rhdtor-eav consirur.tion. }y. all other respects the MAXWKIX "25" represerite "'the last word."' which accounts for its increasing popularity amongst th» motoring public.
