As the Weimar weekly paper phrased it, "An enjoyable time was had by all." None of the gentlemen in the party, weighed less than ISOlbs and several tipped the beam at 200. Tim total weight of the husky crew, amounted to 2,2811 pounds, a sizeable load i'or a commercial truck, Pottliast* took the outfit over ton miles of the worst roads in -Texfts and inadc.tlie trip in 20 minutes. Only on vory steep hills was lie forced to change-from direct, drive into intermediate speed. The demonstration was ono of the most remarkable tributes to the stamina of the Maxwell ever seen in the Lone Star State.
