AS For It's
Performance

If you haven't ridden in the Essex take the
first opportunity to do so.
Come to us and we will 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
signaled to 60 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 narrow country road where
an Essex signals its intention to pass another
car, you will see how easy with its accelera-
ton it can jump to the lead.

Note How the Essex
In Speed, Hill Climbing, Comfort and
Reliability 1t Has Won 10, 600 Ozune7s
Proves End urance

The 10000 Essex cars already in service have
been distributed that every community
now knows their distinctive performance.
Here for instance are people who have had
wide motor car experience. They will tell
you how they esteem the Essex. It's economy
of operation and the fact that practically no
attention is required to keep it in prime
operation appeals to all.

largest and more costly cars-neve. with cars
of its weight OF price class.
New that thousands of Essex cars have
been driven more miles than is usually rolled
up in q season by the average automobile,
owners are realizing Essex endurance.
That is why they tell you about the small
upkeep expense of the Essex. They tell you
about the way in which it retains it's power
and wanted qualities even after the hardest
service. In every endurance run entered, the
Essex has made perfect scores.

Such Is the Car You
Should Have

1t gives dependab bic service. It is the
new day car, the type to which all moderate
priced cars must come, for in addition to
light weight end low operating cost, men now
demand performance, luxury, comfort and
endurance. The Essex is easy to drive. It
turns in short radius. 1t steers easily. It
can be parked in spaces too small for the
average car. 1t has many qualities you will
Ike.
Ask yourself what car is so modern, what is
the type of the future, what light car can
match its performance. 1t is exclusive in
many particulars and no other car built has all
the features of the Essex.

Lone.Talled Birds

A very startling gray willow set of
furniture is on display in one of the
new furniture stores in the city. Next
time you go past the court house on
Jefferson street-just stop a moment
across from there and look at it. From
q short distance away the effect is stu
pendous. The lines are very good and
the crstonna cushions are by far the
most original have seen in long
time. The pattern is difficult to de.
scribe. Though have looked a num-
Der OF times can't tell you the differ
ent colorings. The most remarkable
thing about it, however, lies in the
long tailed birds which seem to have a
background of white with some gray
and rose color. Trees and pathways
add to the decorative scheme. The set
viewed as a whole deserves special
mention. II will fasc'nate you Just as
1t fascinated me. From across the
street it draws you irrisistibly closer.
At first ycn decide you simply must
own the furniture consisting of chairs,
|divan, table and lamp When you look
at 1t closer and endeavor to mentally
place the set nj your own home-you
will decide that it can't be done. Only
an immense, high ceiled room could
contain it at all. Those long tailed
birds would do something not bargain

Some. obIectionabIe Movies.

There's a word to be sad about
some Of the movies which occasionally
get into the city. Everybody likes the
movies and most people are influenced
more or less by the lessons of various
sorts which can be learned through
watching different phases of life por-
trayed in film form. Very often some
phase Of existence is portrayed so ex-
actly aud carefully that 1t is difficult
to believe that groups Of clever ac-
tresses arc entirely responsible. The
movies like the printed word takes on
special importance. The power of the
press is very great but the power OF
the movio is even greater and some
times We are unfortunate enough TO
sit before film which shows life very
much like ii is not. The poison OF the
film which teaches tho boy and girl
that evil may be 80 cloaked In beauti-
ful garments that 1t takes on differ
eEs significance, is a poison difficult
to eradicate. 1t is one of the easiest
things in the world to influence young
people and a pictured representation
Of an interesting falsehood may do
damage untold.
