Note How the Essex
Was Developed

It's motor is not like the motor used in any
other car. The Essex is not made up of stock
parts available to any assernbler. Every item
was designed and is built exclusively for
Essex in the plant and by the same type of
worlunen who produce the largest selling
fine cars in the world
The Essex was not developed by sub
stitution Of new units for an old model as
house is enlarged and renodeled. Every
detail was designed with relation to its use
IN the Essex in connection with the type and
character OF every other detail in the car.

Make Reliability
Your Standard

Essex appeal to pride is evident at a
glance. Its performance is demonstrated in
a short ride. Endurance and reliability can
be appreciated in long service.
For that ask an Essex Owner.
Remember that the way car will serve
you is not indicated altogether by its weight,
size or price.
Essex quality at its price Is possible only
because of its size. You do not pay for use
less weight. And you sacrifice nothing in
comfort, though you gain much in the lower
cost to buy and operate an Essex.
