"Well," remarked the girl charged
with producing the needed informa-
ton, "this man may be Stalk since
that is the name given for his wife
and mother"
But search through the stalks
brought nothing to identify the case.
"Still," she persisted, and they al
ways do persist, these girls. ''His
name must be some kind of a Stalk,
but what kind? Corn stalks, bean
stalks, and cabbage stalks are the
only kind Of stalks know anything
about so I'll just look them up"
And sure enough, it turned out thai
his name was 'some kind of a Stalk.

Lawson Collier, an autoist,
was coming into Atlanta. when

were in animated conversation.
Thinking he might be Of assist

II he could help.
"You might pull us down the
road a piece to start my auto"

Collier backed up, pulled out

auto about 80 yards, and then
asked what the trouble was.
"Oh, nothing at ALL" said his
neighbor. II just didn't want

In the car.
The Essex was announced with the state
ment that it was to be advertised by those who
would ride in it. The car would not be
advertised as other cars have been advertised.
No claims would be made for it. People
were asked to go see it-take ride, and we
would rely upon its quality to speak for itself.
You know how the Essex has won its place
by what people are saying about it.
On the first day the Essex was shown

In all parts of the country responded to the

Essex Qualities Not
Comparable to Any Car

No other one car is like the Essex in degree
of beauty, comfort, performance or endurance.
Other cars closely match it in some of these
particulars. But those who attempt to dc
scribe the Essex use a dozen different we'll
known makes for comparison.
It's Ightness and cost are compared to the
cars best known for their class. Performance
comparisons go into the high-priced Car field.
Essex speed, Essex acceleration and Essex
hill climbing are almost invariably stated in
terms Of such performance as are made by
cars best known in those particulars.
The finest and costliest closed cars are re-
ferred to as being the nearest to Essex in
riding quality.
Cars that have proved their leadership in
the field of endurance are the standard by
which the long life of the Essex is measured.
Get acquainted with the Essex. Let us
prove to your satisfaction that the Essex is

much of her time to dancing,
someone was forever asking her,
"How can / learn to be a good

ways. Learn to swim"
Then when the would-be dancer
looked amazed or amused or some
time a bit peeved, feeling the
question was being treated with
too much levity. Mrs. Castle am
plified her statement by adding:
Learn to ride horseback
learn to play -tennfs-be an out
