Low Operating Cost
Fine Car Luxury

Americans have willingly paid the cost for
performance and riding luxury-for fineness
and distinction, as found only in larger cars.
They accepted the high cost for operation and
maintenance. Cars which cost little to operate
did not meet their requirements in perform
ance and endurance. They lacked the stamp
of refinement and quality they demanded. So
they had but two choices-the large costly
American car or the small and very high
priced imported automobile.
How well the Essex meets that need is seen
by the type of Essex users. Thousands never
before operated so small car and abroad
where the Essex has also made such headway
owners accept it because it matches in quality
and economy of operation the European cars
they had previously used.
The Essex is appreciated greater in those
countries where gasoline, oil and tires cost the
most.

1t Has Quality
At Low Price

Regard the Essex in the light of its perform
ance. 1t isn't fair to think of it merely as a
light weight car, when you consider the quality
of its materials or what it does
Every owner compares his Essex to the per
Torrance of large costly cars.
Haven't you noticed how everyone speaks
of Essex performance?
And now they include praise of Essex rci-
ability. They tell you how their car calls for
no tinkering. Anyone who can handle a
wrench aan keep the Essex in sweet running
condition.
It's reliability comes from the sturdiness of
its construction. Particular motorists abhor
squeaks and rattles. An unusually strong and
stiff frame minimizes such possibilities in the
Essex

Note How the Essex
Was Developed

Its motor is not like the motor used in any
other car. The Essex is not made up of stock
parts available to any assenbler. Every item
was designed and is built exclusively for Essex
in the plant and by the same type of workmen
who produce the largest selling fine cars in the
world
The Essex was not developed by a sub
Stitution of new units for an old model as a
house is enlarged and remodeled. Every de
tail was designed with relation to its use in the
Essex in connection with the type and char

Make Reliability
Your Standard

Essex appeal to pride is evident at glance.
It's performance is demonstrated in a short
ride. Endurance and reliability can be appre-
ciated in long service.
For that ask an Essex Owner.
Remember that the way car will serve you
is not indicated altogether by its weight. size
or price.
Essex quality at its price is possible only
because of its size. You do not pay for useless
weight. And you sacrifice nothing in comfort
though you gain much in the lower cost to buy
and operate an Essex

Under the War Risk Insurance law

TO THE PUBLIC.

am glad to be able to announce
that in the past few days Mr.. A. B. Pat
erson and his associates have again
become interested in the purchase and
operation Of the light, water and ice
systems in Pascagoula. Formerly
they had an option to purchase these
properties on or before December s,
which option was not exercised. Rec
emily new contract was entered into
whereby Mr.. Paterson and his associ-
! ates are to take over the utilities i'm.
mediately after the first of the year,
provided the franchise to be voted on
by the people on December Both is
adopted.
Until the franchise is voted on, re-
pairs and improvements will be made
at the power house. and new machin-
cry arranged for so that if the franchise
is approved by the people first-class
service by the new company can be
furnished not later than February 1st.
Mr.. Paterson has arranged with the
city to relieve 1t of the temporary ar
rangement for operation of the light
and water systems Immediately after
the first OF the year, and to furnish the
people service until the new plant is
in operation.
Mr.. Paterson and his associates are
amply able financially to enlarge and
improve the public utilities to accom-
modate the present and future de-
mands of the city. They contemplate
the expenditure of large amount Of
money for improvements and exten-
sions of the service. certainly as much
as $75,O00.00 within the first year of
their operation. desire to say further
that with the exception of Mr.. Pater-
son there has been no bona fide propo-
sition made for the purchase of the
water, ice and light systems, and il
this arrangement is not consummated,
| do not know of any other available
plan of operation.
Relying on the faith that the people
of Pascagoula will grant reasonable |
franchise so as to permit operation of !
its public utilities, have proceeded I
for the past eight weeks at great ex-
pense to put the water mains in shape !
within the paved area of the city so
as to permit the laying of permanent
pavement on the streets. This work
will proceed to completion, being con-
Quoted from now ON at Mr.. Patersons
expense.
] hope that mature reflection over
the situation in which the public util-
tiles of the city actually are, will con-
vince the people that reassnablct |.
franchise authorizing rates based upon
and proportioned to the greatly in
cost Of labor and materials is
not only just but necessary to enable
any company to operate those utilities.
