 Really great many are in favor of strict state laws; also there seems to be quite few who think there should be federal (blue sky) law" says a letter from a Fort Worth oil broker. While these laws will make it rather hard to sell stock, at the same time honest com panies prefer that as they realize that loose laws give encourag cement to the fake promoter, anu the tal>e promoter is the worst detriment of all to the oil business"
 A small lobby developed during last week against the bill, and it was stated Monday that the Senate judiciary com mittee had promised to give the oppo- nents an opportunity to be heard before passing on the meas sure. which is sup ported by the administration.

AS For Its
Performance

If you haven't ridden in the Essex take the
first opportunity to do so.
Come to us and twill give you the same kind
of demonstration that has caused thousands
to acknowledge Essex supremacy. Watch the
way in which Essex cars perform on the road.
If it is at a street crossing when traffic is
Sgnaled to go ahead, observe how quickly the
Essex jumps TO the lead. The only car that
beats it is another Essex with better driver.
If you are on a narrow country road where
an Essex signals its intention to pass another
car, you win see how easy with its accelera-
ton it can jump to the lead.
