So Make Sure You Can
Get an Essex

Every Essex delivered has resulted
in an increased demand. The pur-
chases grew to more than thirty-five
million dollars within eleven months.
It's 10000 owners are adding to the
demand that is rolling up for next
spring deliveries. We are already
booking them. There is no possibility
that all buyers can be served. Now is
the time when you should make reser-
vation. This latest proof will decide
thousands who have waited for just
such evidence that the Essex is as
good as people have said it is.

starts out in his auto. but the antics OF

There is strangely little roughhousing
and slapping of sticks. and in the end
the old car gives the 200 pound police

Trespassing Causes 5000 Deaths Yearly

Human life is valuable. Five thousand deaths
annually caused by trespassing on the railroads
indicates that many of us take big chances. H.
B. Reynolds. superintendent of the safety bureau
of the Pennsylvania Lines west Of Pittsburg, has
appealed to the public to assist the railroads in an
effort to prevent this appalling loss of life.
He says that mere recital of the statistics
showing that 5000 funerals are held yearly for
the victims of the trespassing evil should be suf-
ficient to arouse each individual to sense of the
necessity of some action. He fatty refutes the
impression that the ma ority of these deaths are
among the hoboes. An analysis of the statistics
indicates that more than Is per cent Of all tres
passers killed and injured are people residing
near the tracks. Too many Children he says, use
