much interested in its speed as in freedom from
mechanical care. Their salesmen have not the
time for roadside tinkering. Appointments must
be kept. Travelling schedules must not be inter
rupted and the driver must not be wearied by
riding, driving delays or attention to the car.
They chose the roadster because of what others
have said in its praise. They heard the same
good things said for it that you hear. Surely no
car ever had more enthusiastic friends Thirty
million dollars paid by individual users mark the
confidence all have for Essex.

Roadster Has Large
Carrying Space

Suit and sample cases can be carried unseen
under the rear deck. Provision is made for such
large articles as trunks.
Inspectors, salesmen and professional al men par
ticularly like the Essex. 1t meets their wants in
performance and reliability. 1t gratifies their
taste in looks. They like its rattle proof con-
struction. They like the way it retains its new
ness.
And Of course they like the car that takes no
back position for even the moet powerful and
fastest cars.
The ease with which the Essex can be driven,
its short length permitting parking in spaces too
small for most cars and it's good looks are marks
of advantage you hear everyone talking about

vantages as the touring and sedan models NO
buyer will go far wrong if his car selection is based

This is the latest Essex to win its way with that
large motoring class that now realize the advan-
lage Of light weight and sturdy, durable construc
hon.
Heretofore roadsters were available in two dis
aact classes only. One was the light car, attrac-
age principally for its low price and operating
eost The other large, heavy and costly. AN
Impressive car because of its size, comfortable,
aafabe and exclusive because so few could afford
sswo-seater, that in all essential respects Is as
expensive to operate as a seven passenger.
But those who wanted an economical reliable
