Such Endurance as You
Wont in Your Car

These decisive tests proved Essex not
only the supreme performer of the light car
field, but they showed that the moderate pric-
ed, economical Essex has such endurance and
dependability as few large, high priced cars
offer.
Greater size could add nothing to Essex.
1t has the qualities, weight and size are built
to give-riding comfort, solidness, distinct
ion and smooth, quiet pace. But in addition
it has fuel oil and tire economy. And its
great durability means freedom from repair
costs and positive, dependable transportation.

Essex Almost Doubles
Light Car Endurance
Essex Has Performance Like the Costtes ofFTne Cars
It's World Endurance Record Has Never Been RiUaLed

Essex is easy to operate. Driving does
not fatigue It's quick response to the light
est touch and its smooth, restful comfort in
motion, account for this.
That is why so many women are Essex
owners. They appreciate its safety, too Its
controls are simple and instantaneous. 1t
makes fast time, with security, even in diff
cult traffic
The Bennington evening banner. (Bennington, Vt.) 19??-1961, 1920-03-27

The most important thing Essex has
proved is that weight and size are no
longer necessary to finest car quality.
It's 3037 miles in so hours is a world en-
durance record. The test was official Sup
ervisors of the A. A. A. certified the Essex
stock chassis in every detail.
Never before was car driven at top
speed for so hours The grind was equal to
years of road use. Yet the Essex showed no
measurable wear.
What car, the Essex size and weight can
even attain mile-a-minute speed, much less
keep it up for so hours?
