A.H. MAXWELL
Hardware, Implements and Buggies

LOWELL, INDIANA

Man can achieve no great degree of success without the real, or make- believe, past record. Success, real or supposed, must be shown . . .

In Adna Maxwell's past record he figures prominently among the business men of Lowell. He was born while the smoke of the Rebellion was still hanging over us, and the push, energy and stability so necessary at that time has remained a feature in his business career.

Although not yet at his best, eighteen years have been devoted to Hardware, Implement and Buggy lines, three years of which were in the capacity of traveling salesman for Implement and Vehicle Factories.

This road work was an education, getting him in close touch with factories, dealers and consumers. Since purchasing the brick building which he now occupies, it locates him permanently and gives facilities for carrying a more complete stock than is usually found in the retail trade.
