Frederick II. Rabbit of Bellows

that the men live in adjoining lawns
though no. in the same county.
The two men are of decidedly diff
ferent types. Mr.. HARNESS is an in
yentor, student and inyestlga or.
Through his business associations he
thas become wealthy. AS The Ban
ner understands it, Mr.. Hartness fur

them on the market, a. profit to all
concerned. Mr.. Hartness has had time
to pursue his studies, has become an
eminent astronomer and aeronautist,

cation and well known philan hro-
pist.
Mr. Rabbit has won his distin-
guished business success by inten

He started in life as an express
agent. From that he graduated into

In Performance as In
Style Essex is Leader
ITS 5Of7ours at Top Speed Endurance Mark is Unmatched
But That is Proof of Only One Fine Car Quality Essex
Brings to the Light Car Field

Thousands at first bought the Essex,
knowing nothing of its greatest quality.
Perhaps no one expected great endurance
in light car. Perhaps its dynamic per-
Torrance appeal swept aside the natural
caution buyers feel about the durability
Of any new car.
More speed they found. More power
quicker acceleration-fner hill-climbing
ability, and suck riding ease as they had
never known in light car.
These things the Essex established
quickly. A ride was sufficient. 1t left no
vestige Of comparison with former light
car performance standards.
Such attractions were irresistible to
those who knew former light car limita-
tons.
But only time or abnormally abusive
tests can prove car endurance.

See Why Essex Made
a Worlds Sales Record

Moreover, Essex power means accelera-
ton. It gives Essex right of way every
where. 1t means that every performance
is met at half effort thus accounting for
its long life.
These are reasons why in its first year
Essex set new world sales record with
more than $35 100000 paid for more than
$4,000 cars in its first year.
This year it will be even more difficult
to supply the Essex demand. Thousands
waited last spring. Many were disap-
pointed. Yet, at that time Essex had not
given the conclusive proofs of endurance
it now holds. You will avoid having to
wait by making your reservation now.

hours. Counting other tests, the same
Essex stock chassis travelled $50 miles in
81 hours, % minutes, actual driving time,
averaging more than a mile e minute.
And another Essex stock touring car set
world 24-hour road mark of 1861 miles,
over snow-bound Iowa roads. Not a
single adjustment or tire change was
made.
Surely such endurance proofs must
redouble the value Of Essex in the eyes
of all. -
