Essex Quality Didn't
just Happen

The Essex performs as IT does because It Is
built to the highest type of car standard It's
SIZE and price has meant no sacrifice In quality,
durability OF comfort.
Every construction detail Is comparable to
one Of the worlds most famous fine cars.
That is why the Essex IS so speedy. 50 nimble

as an utterly different car than has ever been

One thing We can't forget N buying a motor
car Is the pride Of ownership.
The automobile Is a pleasure vehicle and It
spois the fun to be hopelessly out rivaled BY
car that IS smaller and cost less to buy.
And for the same reason there Is lot Of
satisfaction IN having a car that. though it Is
small and its cost Is less. does oui-psrform all
Of its class and has few rivals among the large
rostlier automobiles.

That Is Why You Hear
So Much Of Essex

Anyone who has ever driven much knows
that the greatest delight. where speed IS con
cemed. comes with the ability to best nval
with extra bursts Of speed. Il is the situations
which show a cars ability to out-perform
others that give greatest cause for pride.
And knowing that the Essex does excel
most cars. even many that are larger and that
cost more. there is little wonder owners speak
Of Il as they do.

So Don't Forget
This Fact

The Essex IN every particular. save n prics
and weight, IS comparable to cars that cost
much more. And It possesses the further adj
vantage In economy that comes ron its lighter
weight
Remember. 1900 owners are telling Of
more good qualities about Il than any Essex
salesman can tell you Essex owners will ad-
wise you to buy an Essex in either the FIVE

Note the Advantages
Of Such a Car

The Essex IS not a large car. neither Is 4
tiny. No space Is wasted No extra weight
IS used. Neither passengers OF driver are
crowded. They have plenty Of room on The
seats and for their legs. The SIZE Of the Essex
gives it many advantages. including moderate
cost and operating economy. And think how
much more convenient to drive. L slips through
traffic that a larger car can not negotiate. Il
can be parked In space that others can not
squeeze INTO. It turns IN a short radius.

MEMORIAL FROM IDAHO LHGIS-

BURTON L. FRENCH
EXPECT ONLY HALF OF SUN
Idaho Representative at Washington
Thinks Government VIII Agree
on Fifty Fifty Basis

Burton l.. French, member of con-
gress from Idaho, has presented to tht
national house Of representatives. the
memorial from the Idaho legislature
asking congress to appropriate $780,
600 to construct a suitable highway
from either Grangeville or Sites to
Elk City.
Mr.. French has given much time to
the matter of obtaining federal aid
for the proposed highway to Elk City,
and is confident that either the forest
service or the good roads division
would be very favorable to the PROPOSE
ton upon a $3.50 basis that is the
government furnishing 80 percent of
the cost and the state or state and
local organizations, the other so per-
cent.
Mr. French is doubtful that the fed
eral government will be more liberal
than this. In speaking Of the subject,
he said: 81 am heartily in favor of
the utmost liberality in this matter for
realize the Importance of the road.
but we cannot overlook the fact that
the west is in the minority in congress,
in both the senate and house, and the
east considers that it has been unusu-
ally liberal liz agreeing to a $3.50 basis
because there was no such basis when
extensive road work was completed in
some or many Of the eastern states.
'"The eastern members of congress
say: We had our roads to build and
built them. We are now willing TO
give federal aid on the basis Of $3.50
to the western states, but we do not
propose TO go farther This is the
position we are up against"
