If there are any questions on policies not covered in this book, it would be appreciated if you would ask so it can be clarified.

Maxwell Motors was started in 1933 by R.C. Maxwell, Sr., in the building that is now occupied by Rabon Chevrolet. Mr. Maxwell operated this business with a partner, Mr. Mabry, of Oklahoma City for a short time. In 1943, after a substantial growth in assets and business, Maxwell Motors incorporated, with principal stockholders being R.C. Maxwell, Sr., Mr. J.C. Cravens, Mr. Claude Harber, and Richard H. Wissinger. In 1949, an expansion program was started, which included the construction of our present facilities. In 1952, Mr. R.C. Maxwell purchased all outstanding stock.
In 1955, R.C. Maxwell, Jr., joined the company as Sales Manager. In 1957, Don Maxwell joined the company as Office Manager. In 1959, R.C. Maxwell, Jr., and Don Maxwell bought a portion of the stock from R.C. Maxwell, Sr., and this is the present ownership.
The Company's volume has grown steadily to the extent that in 1964, the Company's total sales were over one million dollars, which included two hundred twenty-seven new vehicles and four hundred fourteen used vehicles, employing a total of twenty personnel.
