Essex stock chassis travelled $3.50 miles IN
81 hours, p minutes, actual driving time,
averaging more than a mile a minute.
And another Essex stock touring car set
a world 24-hour road mark of 1901 miles,
over snow bound Iowa roads. Not a
single adjustment or tire change was
made.
Surely such endurance proofs must
rcdoublc the value of Essex in the Sves

Moreover, Essex power means accelera-

IS met at half effort-thus accounting for
its long life.
These are reasons why in its first year
Essex set new worlds sales record with
more than S35 700. 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

What hath he done?" is the divine
question which searches men and

Homer and Washington; but there can
never be any doubt concerning the
respective ability of human beings
when we seek the truth. Pretension
