touring car and quickly made it known in
almost every town and hamlet.
The same thing is happening now to the

expressions of real affection one hears of
every day for the Essex. Time has revealed
the fact that qualities which appeal are re-
tanned even after the hardest service.
Come and take ride in this luxurious
closed model people are talking about.

Merits of the Sedan
Should Please You

Essex wide range of qualities brings out
interesting discussions and comparisons. Own
ers boast of their good judgment in choosing
the Essex because of the appreciable economic
maintenance features in its favor.
Moderate in first cost there is in the Essex
that exclusive degree of elegance which has
given it prestige.
Noticeable freedom from jolts over rough
roads is due to the rigid Essex chassis and
substantial assembly
Perfect acceleration gives the driver a
winning confidence when DESTROYS of heading
heavy city motor traffic. Just you notice
how the Essex takes the lead. 1t gets

Another general comment about it is that
it matches up with those expensive and
powerful carS-the best ON the road.
1t is making history in speed, hill climbing
and useful performances. Il keeps on speak
ing for itself under all sorts of road conh-
tons.
