Builds the Essex?

Essex success has not been accidental.
No doubts its right to- the position
II holds.
On the Cincinnati Speedway, a stock
chassis Essex set the world 5O-hour en-
durance mark, of 3037 miles, under
American Automobile Association su-
pervision. Another stock Essex holds
the unequalled 24-hour road mark of
1861 miles.
But how many know why Essex in its
trstyearrevealed qualities moremature,
more evident of the influence of long
experience, than is commonly found in
cars even in their third and fourth year.
You will recall the Essex was an
nounced one year ago without one word
as to the identity of its builders. Not a
claim was made for its performance.
You were asked to go look at it, take
ride and form your own opinion. The
Essex was required to speak for itself.
Now that it has established itself,
it is revealed why Essex has all the
qualities of cars Of long development.

Says Allen Rides

Only 4 Cylinders

A change has come about in automo-
bile circles. Once car owners boosted
of six cylinders or eight in much the
same spirit as the school boy who
proudly asserts that my daddy is
smarter than your daddy"
People are finding out that "six'
cylinders or eight as opposed to
-four come far from constituting the
final argument in automobile perform
ance.
In commenting on the subject, Frank
FNlsom. Of the Warden Motor Sales
company, Allen dealers, very aptly
said: IF someone could put a wash
boiler under the hood that would pull
the car over the hill. sweetly and surely
and invariably, I'd be for 1t. People
come to me repeatedly and tell me that
this new Allen rides like a six Many
think it actually isSa six. 1t happens
TO be a four and it certainly Is a
great performer. 1t strikes me that the
real question of car merit is it's perform
snce and not in specifications. As fast
as we get them we are selling these
Aliens on the basis that they have the
ability to make any grade that is ne
gotiable and they ride like a Pullman

MOTOR TRUCKS
<H -
: RELIABLY BUILT

TITS a far cry from the motor truck
Of today TO the first models at Tho
start of the industry" says G. A. Kis-
sci, president of the Kisscl Motor Car
company.
When trucks were first placed On
the market for general sale they were
far from being reliable hauling units.
In fact, most of the trucks then sold
we're simply express bodies mounted
on passenger car chassis with lower
gear ratios.
To-day trucks are built of the best
possible material obtainable on the
American market. Steels have been
developed especially for trucks, so that
lightness and strength are combined.
Motors have been specially built for
trucks, where formerly they were only
developments of passenger car motors
with few changes.
dealers are selling trucks along
business lines, where formerly men
bought trucks because they thought
they ought to buy them. Now trucks
are sold on their merits alone.
Owners today take as much interest
In ascertaining the ability OF their cars
as their brothers OF yesterday with
their favorite horses.
"a typical example Is the following
excerpt of a letter ! Just received from
a prominent owner who states, I have
tried it out on the hills. | have slowed
it down to a walk on high. 1t is as
sensitive as q thoroughbred, and Is con-
stantly surprising me with the many
things which it does, and does in mas
terly fashion.
"'I am not given to the use of ad-
jectiyes,' he adds, but o may say
for me that my car has more than full
filled every expectation and that 1t has
yet to fail in responding to anJ
emergency"

But the Essex does bring quality and
performance to a class field that was
unknown.
The former owners of large costly
cars that have adopted the Essex have
not been Hudson users. They have
come from other cars, cars that fan
short of the Super-Six in all particulars
save size and cost.
The Essex appeals to such users be-
