The Dominant Light Car
By Official Proof

And with it Essex brings every advantage
of the light type. These compel consdera-
ton. They consist not only of important
economies, but of greater handling ease,
safety and convenience. Parking for large
cars is becoming an increasingly difficult
problem. So, too, is their manipulation in
heavy traffic. The light car clearly shows
its value in greater nimbleness. The COM
mon sense facts prove it from every angle
the type for all-round usefulness.
Before the Essex, not much was expected
of light car in the way of distinctive per-
formance. Economy was the chief appeal
Great speed and power were considered
exclusive costly car qualities.

three tests it travelled $3.50 miles, averaging
above mile minute An Essex stock tour

Do You Know the Secret
of Essex Leadership?
1t is the New Light Type With
Big Car Ability. Can Any Light Car
Rival Its Speed, Pover or Endurance

Lightness today is an overwhelming ad-
vantage in motor car, provided it means no
forfeit of fine performance, endurance or
distinctive appearance.
Yet, prior to the Essex, what car combined
all these qualities? There we're light cars to
be sure. But none to meet the requirements
of those who exact the highest standards of
ability, comfort and good looks.
Had such type existed, Essex could not
have won such swift dominance. 1t could
have set no worlds selling record as it did,
with greater total paid for Essex than for
any car ever brought out in it's first year.
The very suddenness of it's success shows
how its qualities conmandeered attention.
For men are not quick to buy a car that time
has not proved.
And the Essex came unknown. Merit was
its only advocate for recognition. It's quality
was instantly obvious In looks, in action,
its appeal was dynamic. And it drew imme-
date response from all classes Of motor users
They found ability, speed and power be-
fore believed impossible in light car.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-05-04
See What Unexpected
Qualities 1t Adds

For that reason it is not unusual to hear
the Essex described as big, high priced car
That, of course, is not true. But it is the i'm
preston registered by ride in it, Neither
in performance nor appearance is it compar-
able to the lightweight cars you may have
known.
You have surely heard owners say how it
equals and often excels in speed, smooth
riding and hil-climbing the fine, costly cars
noted for those qualities,
Perhaps you know the Essex more init
mately. Who can escape noting it's ever
increasing popularity? On every highway
and especially when reliability is demanded,
as in touring, Essex has forced it's way to
leadership in numbers through sheer leader
ship in performance.
When you know it's appeal you will
scarcely be content to drive another Car.
