the New Essex Super-Six reveals the
startling reasons that prompted it. If
thousands praised the former Essex,
then tens of thousands must applaud
the new. If all sales records were sur
passed by the former Essex, then even
higher marks must reward the new.
No previous car-no previous value

it. 1t is the greatest achievement in

(By MRS. VI. Il. PLASSMANN)

IRIS. JAKE DOERR, of Helena,
VI has demonstrated what one
Az Montana woman at least. is
capable of undertaking and success
fully carrying out, under most trying
conditions.
Mrs. Doerr's husband has been mailcar-
rying through the Priekly Pear valley for
the past seven years. and during that time
has established a remarkable record. hav-
ing never failed to make his deliveries
His route encircled the valley. around Lake
Helena on its eastern side TO Green
Meadow farm, then by Silver and Birds
Helena. The distance covered is sixty-fve
miles, and IL is said 10 be the longest rural
mail route In the United States.
1t is not alone the length Of the route
that should he considered ii should be re-
membered the numerous ~Stoppages to de-
liver mail ut the scattered ranches or post
offices along the way. Recently Mr.. Doerr
was obliged 10 undergo an operation for
appendicitis. During his illness. his wife
took his place as mail deliverer.
Every morning, although the thermom-
eter sometimes registered as low as forty
below zero. the brave woman made the
long journey in her Ford sedan, not miss
ing a day. and expects to continue work
until her husband Is well.
Like others who run automobiles In win
ter. she has had her share of frozen radi-
Rtors ard nunctured tires To contend with.
yet this did not prevent her from daily
covering the route, as did her husband.
Mrs, Doerr was not new TO the business.
for she carried the mail while Mr.. Doerr
took his vacation. This she did from
choice. nor was she compelled to undertake
the route now, as the department would
grant her husband sick leave. The work
would not he easy in summer in winter,
with billiards. sweeping through the val
ley, and the temperature far below zero,
none but an extremely courageous woman
would dare TO undertake it.
At a Mothers and Daughters banquet
given at the Helena Y. W. C. A., appropri-
ate sentiments were given by several of
the women present. Mrs. Norman Wine
stine, who was one Of the speakers, wore
