See why Essex Set a
Worlds Selling Record
Consider Its Unequalled Endurance Records O37
Miles in so Hours 1861 Road Miles in 24 Hours

Essex in its first year set worlds sales
record. That shows how men wanted and
talked about what it offered.
But Of chief Importance to you are the quail
tiles which earned this world selling mark
You know what an uphill fight the car of
average ability must make for even limited
recognition
What then was the Essex appeal that swept
aside the natural doubts of buyers?
1t was not prestige born of confidence in it's
makers. Their identity was not revealed.
Essex was required to make its own name stand
for the things men seek in a car
And it won because of its fine performance,
riding ease and endurance, qualities hitherto
regarded as exclusive to large costly cars. And
further, because of its economy and convenience,
which were exclusive light car advantages.

These Are the Advantages
You Want

Greater size could add nothing to Essex. You
sacrifice no motoring pleasure, comfort or good
looks that large, high-priced cars can give And
you gain all the advantages of the lightweight
type, more important today than ever.
They cover not alone the cost of operation
They include the satisfaction that comes with
its distinction as fine beautiful car. And it has
new advantage in handling ease
And there is all the surety of uninterrupted
service and comfort as well as repair freedom,
which hitherto were looked upon as exclusive
costly car qualities.
Knowing the demand existing for all wanted
cars, you will understand the Importance of
speaking for your Essex now.

LACKING FOR DEER ID
SPOILED BY TRICK
Game inspectors Set Up Dead Deer
and Automobile Party is Caught
loRed.rtanded In North.

Success OF a unique trap which
was used last autumn by representa-
tlves OF the conservation commission
in order to catch violators of the
deer laws, has been revealed in a case
which has just been tried at Malone,
N. YglIt developed at the trial that
in order to apprehend hunters who
were lacking deer from automobiles
at night, which is prohibited by law,
Confidential Agent Speenberg and
Game Protector Snyder set up a
dead deer in ravine near the road
leading from Brandon to Paul Smiths
and hid themselves close by. Ac
cording to Speenberg, the use of the
decoy deer was for the purpose of
ascertaining the sort of game which
those who We're lacking we're at
tempting to obtain
1t appears that on the first night
several automobile parties passed the
place where the dead deer had been
erected and flashed their jacklights
upon it. but failed to see it Speen-
berg, surmising that failure to see the
deer was due to the absence of the
customary reflection CT the iack-light
from the animals eyes, overcame this
difficulty by placing under the eye-lids
of the dead deer small tin disks, such
as are used for holding building

that car was seen coming from the
direction of Brandon at about II
o'clock, in which jack-hght was be
ing operated from the tonneau, first
on one side Of the road, and then
on the other, The car he said, was
being driven very slowly and took
nearly fifteen minutes to go a dis

mile. When it reached the rayine
where the deer was set up, the car
halted and a shot was fired Accord
ing to the testimony. Speenberg then
ran out and jumped upon the running
board OF the car. He found that the
car was driven by Arthur Adams,
proprietor of motion picture theatre
at Lake Placid; and in the rear seat
were Tom Collins of Lake Placid
who was apparently operating the
