was true Of the Essex, which scored
the greatest success ever achieved By
any car during its first year
'eThe reason was that the Essex
filed a popular demand for fine,
light car possessing the quality and
performance Of the costly cars and
with the additional advantage Of the
utmost economy of ppkeep. More
than 10000 Essex are now in service
in the hands Of their owners. To meet
the increased demand 10000 Essex
will be built in 1920, but even this
number will be insufficient. Another
