Its Economy and
Reliability Wins

Business men cannot spare any time for me-
chanical attention to their cars. They lay out their
schedules and must travel with the precision Of a
railroad train. An automobile that requires fire.
quent attention means delays and delays are costly.
Consequently the Essex has won thousands who
have learned It's reliability.
Then too they know how little ii costs to OPP
crate an Essex. Its first cost is lower than one
would expect in such a quality car. But when
considered on a mileage basis, where the gasoline,
tire. oil and maintenance expenses are computed,
the Essex has won as no other car has done,

1t Is a New Type Which
$4,000 Have Adopted

No greater Endorsement should be required. What
car has ever equaled the success of the ESSEX In
ten months motorists have shown their faith to the
extent OF thirty million dollars paid for eighteen
thousand Essex cars of various types.
You know the Essex as a small, light weight car
that does not appear tiny. And, if you have ever
ridden in an Essex, you have observed that no
riding sensation suggests its smallness. But its
~lightness means there is no useless weight.
Strength and durability are attained by proper
design and highest quality materials. Any doubt
some may have had that the Essex is too powerful
for its weight, and that il could not long stand the
road pounding its performances invite have had
opportunity to dispel their fears.
THE Essex has shown that light weight advan-
tages can be obtained without sacrifice Of dur
ability. performance or fine quality, 1t has earned
its leadership.
The roadster is the newest fa%vorite. 1t is lively,
comfortable, and good looking. 1t will appeal to
those who want a pleasure runabout or a utility car,

Checks Show Relief
Funds Paid by Ford
to Soldiers Families

Mt. Clements, Mich, May 80
Counsel for the plaintiff in the ST.
100000 libel suit of Henry Ford
against the Chicago Daily Tribune
yesterday produced in Judge Tuck
er's court cancelled checks showing
that the company had actually paid
relief funds to dependents of en-
ployes who went with the national
guard to the Mexican border in
June, 1916.
Elliott G. Stevenson, of counsel
for the defendant, argued that the
rules of the department showing,
among other things, how depend
ents were cared for were inadnis-
sible and contended that testimony
should concern only what the de-
partment actually did in the spe-
cihc cases of the dependents of en-
ployes absent on military duty.
Attorney Alfred ]. Murphy, of
counsel for Mr.. Ford, argued the
right to show continuous policy
of Mr.. Ford in caring for his EN-
ployes and seeking to better their
condition. The cancelled checks
showed that payments from $40 to
SIS a week to IA families were
made They began July 26, month
after the guard was called out, and
continued for varying periods, some
until February, 1917.
