coating Of it over your face. Tomorrow
morning wash it off with warm water
Small powder-like particles Of the lifeless
top skin will come off with the wax. Re-
peat this daily until all the worn-out scarf
skin has been absorbed. Then you'll have
a lovslisr. healthier looking complexion
than you now think possible. Chaps,
pimples. spots, freckles or other surface
disfigurements are, Of course. removed
with the skin itself.

But the Essex does bring quality and
performance to 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 fall
short Of the Super-Sn in all particulars
save size and cost.
The Essex appeals to such users BE-
cause of its nimbleness. They like tho
way its performance compares with that
of the Super Six. You can see this on
every hand. The two cars in any COM
