ESSEN HAS QUALITY.
AND SERVICE COMBINED

The Essex combines the appeal o.
qualities heretofore not obtainablc
in any automobile type.
1t has lightweight advantages suci
as moderate price, low upkeep, and
operation costs.
But it also has such largo car
qualities as endurance, riding ease
power, speed and fleXibility of per
Torrance. No car its weight is at
all comparable in the finer qualities
to Essex.
That is why those who know the
Essex are compelled to refer to
large, high priced cars, when des-
cribing its performance.
And see how Essex has proved en-
durance. Many owners have driven
their Essex cars $4,000 to $4,000
miles without a single repair item.
Do you know Of any other light
weight car of which that can be said =?
The Essex Sedan is particularly
favored by the growing number who
prefer an enclosed car for all sea-
sons. The roadster is the latest ad-
dition to the Essex family. 1t is

The following Is one OF the simplest
methods of cleaning a tobacco pipe:
Cut one-half inch from the end Of an

cut a hole through the cork wide
enough TO admit the nozzle of water
tap with a little pressure; turn on
the water gently until the flow through
the stem is sufficiently strong, and let
