Show II-SIOP LAURELS BELQNGJDMAXWELL Edict Issued That Exact Conditions of Run Must Be Duplicated. Another echo from the Maxwell nonstop non-stop record comes in the form of a letter let-ter from A. A. A. officials to the effect that the onlv sort of a non-scop run which will get the sanction of the A. A. A. Is a run made under exactly the same conditions under which the Mex-well Mex-well made its sensational run. and that the Maxwell Is still non-stop champion of the world In spite of all other claims. It Is a significant fact that the dust-laden dust-laden non-stop tropin- which lias reposed on the Maxwell shelf since January 5, lSUli has become a storm center during the past few weeks, and the first fight in behalf of the Maxwell has finally been taken vp bv representatives of the American Amer-ican Automobile association. It will be remembered that another car Is claimed to have broken the Maxwell record or 22.02:1.3, and the sponsors of this other car claim the championship non-stop title. That they are not entitled to It because -the non-stop run was made by a car Jacked up in the salesroom window Is the contention of the Maxwell people, which view is upheld by the A. A. A. "The Maxwell's i.on-stop run was a fair and square test of motor enr stamina stami-na atid stands without a parallel In the entire motor world," said Sales Manager J O Gates of the Sun Motor Sales company, com-pany, local Maxwell distributers, yesterday yester-day "We know that several other makes of cars have attempted to shatter the Maxwell's splendid record, and, though some cars have made splendid records, none of them has come even close to the Maxwell's tremendous mileage. It is a record we have no fear of losing and with the protection of the A. A. A., who we are sure, are bound to Insist on fair plav. we know that if the Mex-well's Mex-well's record of 22,022.3 miles without a stop of the engine is ever broken,' it will be a mighty good car." |
