Thousands at first bought the Essex,
knowing nothing of its greatest quality.
Perhaps no one expected great endurance
in a 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- finer hill-climbing
ability, and such riding ease as they had
never known in light car.
These things the Essex established
quickly. A ride was sufficient. It 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.

Essex stock chassis travelled $3.50 miles in
81 hours, % minutes, actual driving time,
averaging more than mile a minute.
And another Essex stock touring car set
world 24-hour road mark of1061 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.

See Why Essex Made.
a Worlds Sales Record

Moreover, Essex power means accelera-
ton. It gives Essex right of way every
where. It 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 q new worlds sales record with
more than $35 ,OO0, 900 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
1t now holds. You will avoid having to
wait by making your reservation now.

AWAIT RESULTS

Neal Davis May Recover While r
C. Davis Faces Consequences
Of Gambling Brawl.

Stronger hopes were held out to-
day by Or. Joseph De Silva for the
recovery of Neal Davis, negro, for
whose shooting Tuesday night R.
C. Jackson, negro barber, is being
held in the city Jail, pending the
outcome of Davis wounds.
Davis came by his wound through
fight originating over a blackjack
card game at Jackson's barber shop
Tuesday afternoon. The men
passed words over a difference OF
so cents in settling bets on the
game, which Davis claimed was due
him.
Card games are said to have
1ourished at the barber shop
among the black and tan element
and the shooting seems to have
brought the Joint" open for
thorough police investigation.
Davis was shot with a .32 caliber
bullet: which passed through the
fleshy part of his chin, ranged
backward and downward through
his left chest from the collar bone
through the lung and out below the
left shoulder blade.
