PETE HENDERSON HAS RECORD FOR PLUCK

Pete Henderson steps across the boundary line of Canada to the States and crawls in behind the wheel of a "Made in the U.S.A." car with his head full of determination to win the Des Moines speedway race.

Henderson is one of the youngest drivers in the game both in age and in experience, but neither has youth nor limited experience deterred him from the ironclad vow to make veterans to do or die. That he has pluck was shown last summer when one of his teammates gave up a race at Burlington because of axle trouble. Pete looked the car over, yes the axle was in a weakened condition, but Pete realized that motor racing is a chance from start to finish, so he took the car and finished the race with a broken axle. With such indomitable courage as this Henderson's friends believe he is destined to be a star and expect great things from him at the wheel of a Maxwell. Originally, he was scheduled to drive a Duesenberg, but has since joined the Prest-O-Lite racing team that owns four Maxwells. The Maxwell cars have been carefully gone over and groomed and and are said to be in first class condition.
