ESSEX IN DEMAND
Crockett Automobile Company Pre-.
pares for Rush This Summer.

William Steinhardt, president OF
the Crockett Automobile Company, 10.
cal Hudson-Essex dealer, reports that
the company is preparing for a rush of
business this summer. He sys:
"All over the nation the demand for
the Essex coach is increasing. The
Essex coach is the only six-cylinder
closed car selling for less than $1,000
at the factory. Nearly everyone wants
six-cylinder automobile.
Here in this city We have been
holding tests with the owners to prove
the performance, economy and endur-
an qualities of this car. Anyone
who has, or as had, a four-cylinder
Essex knows what an exceptional car
that was in all those respects. But
running tests we have held prove that
the present six is in every way su-
perior to the four. Its ability in every
really important respect Is. indeed,
most remarkable and UNUSUAL.
"One of the factors worthy of con-
sideration in the selection OF a car,
outside of the initial cost, is the prices
of renewal and service parts, or the
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-04-20

upkeep. A motorist should know that
in case of an accident, or in the renew
al of parts in his car. he win not be
overchaEed. We now have a parts
price list which is supplied to every
owner when he buys his car. This list
shows the prices at which genuine
Hudson-Essex parts can be bought
anywhere. We urge every motorist
to look through one of these lists. II
he has had experience in buying parts.
To- will see at once that he is being Of
fered exceptionally favorable prices.
This is in line with the Hudson Essex
policy all along the line, of giving good
practical value which motorists can
better appreciate, the more they know
about cars.
'sThe all.round service, comfort.
economy, and value of the Essex six
make it attractive to the great mass Of
motorists"

BETTER SERVICE TO
BE RENDERED NASH
MOTOR CAR OWNERS
a.
Cars to Be Diagnosed by
Expert Before Any
Work Is Done.

There 10 no question but that, it is
impossible to merchandise an automo-
bile in this highly competitive market
and not give the user of that car real
service. The officials of the Jack Neal
Nash Motors Company believe that the
popularity Of the Nash car in San An
tonic is largely due to the service
rendered Nash owners. Every precau-
ton 10 taken to see that this service
is given at all times.
Mr.. Mountjoy has complete charge
of the service department, and each
Nash car coming into the shop is
checked and diagnosed by an expert.
Customers are told the cost of re-
pairing cars before they go to the
mechanic. As each car Is run into the
stall heavy covering ia placed over the
TENDERS, cowl and the seats, so that it
will be impossible for the mechanic to
get grease on the car as he works on it.
1t is absolutely against the rules
for any one to touch a tool or equip.
ment of any kind which belongs to
the customers. There is no excuse for
this being done, as each mechanic has
a full set of tools and does NOT nave
to trouble those of the customers in
any way.
Every job completed by the Nash
shop Is not only guaranteed by the
Mash Motors Company, but is also
guaranteed by the particular mechanic
who works on that car. Should the
job prove unsatisfactory in any way
the work will be gone over again
without further charge to the car
owner. Each job turned out By the
Mash shop must be satisfactory. Mr..
Afountjoy does not employ any but
first class mechanics, as this shop does
mot use helpers in any capacity what
ever.
The policy of the Nash company
may differ somewhat from the policy
ordinarily followed, in that they en-
courage the owner to make complaints
just as soon and as often as they feel
they have been mistreated in any way.
As it is only By knowing when these
conditions exist that steps can be
taken to rectify them. The fact that
this policy pays and that car users
do appreciate it when they receive
good service on their automobiles can
easily be ascertained.

RENSTATE QUIGLEY
 AFTER HOT HEARING
Boston Police Officer. Formerly of Pomfret. Holds Stage
 Center
Dismissed From Force on Charge
 of Untruthfulness

Friends in Putnam and Polnfret will be glad to hear of the reinstate- ment of Traffic Officer Edward J. l Quigley of Boston. who was dismissed from the force about two weeks before on a charge of conduct unbecoming an officer. The charge was brought by ! Mrs. Roberta Childs. prominent 1 Brookline and Boston society woman, | following the tagging of her car on May 5. In the hearing following, | Quigiey was exonOrafcd but later was charged with untruthfulness in filing l bis report of the affair and was dis missed. Claiming that he had been 1 framed, Quigley asked for a public hearing, which was granted. The de- cisien by Police Commissioner Herbert
 A. Wilson to give him the job back
 again was received with pleasure in
 this section, where MT. Quigley has
 many friends.
 | In his report of the tagging. Officer
 Quigley claimed that he had put a tag on the car since it was unattend-
 ed and in the way of fire apparatus which was passing. Investigation of
 the fire records showed that there had
 been no alarm on the morning of May I5. Chief Taber, said, however, that
 on that morning he had driven his fire department automobile down Ire
 mont street. blowing the horn and si-
 ren, and that the policeman had prob
 ably been honestly mistaken in his be-
 lief that the apparatus was coming.
 This testimony on the part of the fire
 chief apparently turned the tide in favor of the reinstatement.
 Mir. Quigley is a former Pomfret
 man, leaving that place little more
 than fifteen years ago to go to Boston.
 For about five years he had been a
 policeman, and has been a model offi-
 cer. according to his station-matss. He
 was on traffic duty at Washington and
 West streets when the tagging of the 1 Childs car occurred.
