ESSEX OVER sNoW-sWEPT IOWA DIRT RoADsr

Already driven more than 10000
miles, an Essex stock touring car has
established new world 24-hour mark
Of 1861 road miles. over frozen, snow
bound, dirt roads of Eastern Iowa.
Not a stop was made for repairs or
adjustments. Running day and night,
Essex completed the gruelling test
without halt, except for fuel and oil.
Not even q tire change was made.
The average speed was Alb miles per
hour.

DOESN'T 1T SETTLE THE
LIGHT CAR QUESTION?

Prior to Essex, light weight in an au-
tomobile meant principally moderate
price, and perhaps gasoline and oil
economy.
The coming of the Essex changed
that. | brought fine car quality, sped,
power and endurance to the light car
field. It's performance was matched
only in the large costly car class.
Is it any wonder that Essex has made
a world s sale record of more than $685.
100000 paid for $4,000 Essex cars, in
its first year?
We are already booking orders for
spring delivery. There is no possibility
that all buyers can be served. Now is
