His New Outfielder.

The best-looking outtielder TO break
into the American league since the
days Of Cobb" is the complimentary
manner in which Iris Speaker refers
to young Homer Summa, who holds
down right field for the Indians.
When YOU consider that Mr.. Speak

he came into the American league after
Cobb, you get an even better idea Of
what the Cleveland manager thinks Of
the youngster.

put it to-
"if I should have any trouble, sum

All of which proves the confidence
Speaker has in Summa Incidentally
he feels that Summa won't have to
shift to center very often.

ESSEX-SIX COACH Is
PROVING POPULAR MODEL

1T is the issue of closed car COM
forts at open car costs which has
brought such exceptional success to
the Essex six Coach this year. said
Mr.. E. Sundin, proprietor of the Lin
coin Highway Garage and local dealer
for Hudson and Essex cars.
Mr.. Sundin continued: Already
25 per cen more Essex skies have
been sold this year than were pro-
duced of the popular Essex 'fours' in
all of 1928. That is doubly amazing
because 1928 was itself a record
breaking year and because nearly
every other maker of cars has been
forced this year to cut down his vol
ume.
But the Essex six coach, offering
six cylinder advantages and closed
car comforts at an extraordinarily
moderate price, has arisen above
all trade conditions and difficulties
and has been the outstanding success
OF the year.
Let me recite a few facts about
tins Essex coach. First, it is larger
aud roomier than any previous mod
ell. Second, it is equipped with gen.
uine full size balloon tires which
give it a riding ease which cannot
be adequately described must be
experienced. Third, ii will out-per-
form the highest expectations of its
owners-in smoothness, qu~ietness,
marvellous pickup and climbing abil-
ity.
"Af these advantages are offered
in a six cylinder enclosed a which
sells at just about the price of an
open four
The public's answer to- such a
value has been a capacity demand
all year long.

Now, with balloon tires added,
and with a design which easily hand
les all the operating conditions which
these tires bring about, the coach
is more popular than ever. When
you consider hat the special closed
car season of the ytar-fall and
winter-are almost on. us, you can
see why we are SO optimistic about
the Essex Coach.
Especially we invite all former
Essex owners to inspect this present
car. We know that they all regard
their cars with the highest pride,
but we are sure we can show them
something better in the Essex six
coach"
