Make II An Essex
This Christmas

What better gift than an Essex?
Have all the years use of it and
remove doubt as to delivery in the
spring.
There can be no advantage in wait
ing. The Essex so leads in qualities
which must ultimately be the features
Of all moderate priced cars that until
they can be incorporated by others, it
has no rival. Everyone says so. Hear
what owners are saying about the
Essex. More than 10000 Essex cars
were delivered in 10 months. In
excess Of $3O,oOo,ooO were paid for
them. A new sales record was estab-
lished, because every Essex owner
seems to have made it point to urge
his friends to buy.

Note Its Economy

The Essex won it's way thror :
sheer merit. What car has mo-
champions? ~
Where can you find such perform
ance, or fine quality and good looks?
Owners tell you how their car outper-
forms larger, costliercars. Some have
driven their Essex more than $4,000
miles without a nickel for repairs.
The tire, gasoline and oil economy
is unusual. In these respects the
Essex is like lightweight, low-priced
cars. But the Essex also has the fine
car durability and the finish and looks
of higher priced cars.

scale in Bossier acreage in the vicinity

The scene of the new operations is
about ten miles on an air line from

raw cotton. encourage the diversified
ton and marketing of crops, increase

1t also shows that the corporations Of
the parish paid during the same year
they paid during 1916.
This situation was brought about by
the Pleasant Thomas Board Of State
Affairs. and it is only reasonable to
suppose that this condition will be per.
petuated If Mr.. John NJ. Parker Is
elected Governor of Louisiana. 1t is
well remembered that Mr.. Parker re-
fused to become Il candidate for Gov
ernOr. Notwithstanding he was imlM:-
tuned to do so by his personal and ~
litical friends. until he was given the
support of the State Ring headed by
the Governor. which support carries
with it the various boards with their
enormous influence. 1t Is well known
that the present Governor has held NJ

sheriff for East Carroll Parish. 1t Is
also known that the Governor has

Is it not reasonable. therefore. t.
suppose that. with the harmony now
prevailing between the Governor and

will he continued if Mr.. Parker Is
