Its Moderate Cost
And Reliability

Consider the type of car that equals Essex
erformance. Some owners affirm their Essex
the fastest car they have encountered,
Certainly none ever thinks of similar priced
! like size car in connection with the speed of
a Essex. Nor does anyone compare such car
'ith its acceleration or hill-cimbing ability.
Isn't the comparison always with larger and
higher priced cars?
And so also is Essex finish and completeness
Inere is nothing skimped or cheap about it
ssner in appearance or in those parts that are
aot visible but which account for it's reliability
1t Requires Little
Attention
Though light small car, the Essex calls for
isae attention. Its motor fulflls it's work
4itnout constant attention. The car is so de-
.saed and constructed that it is practically
tee from annoying squeaks and such as may
.s'elop are usually and easily removed with
lew drops Of oil.
II Is the car for the man who does his own
4'lVng and who, while he demands top notch
has neither the time nor temper.
Aueat to be constantly tuning and adjusting it.

WILSON MAY SETTLE

Possibility Of President Wilson try

This plan is believed 20 be agree
able TO the strikers. No word however,

Belief here was that the operators
are so preiudiced against the Postoilice
Department that efforts TO settle the
strike by Assistant Postmaster General
Rooms or any one else connected with
the PostoGlce Department will prove un-
avalling. Therefore, 1t is believed that
neutral agency such as the War

only solution.
