Detroit) The Car That Led All Interest at the Show Now Come Here Where You Can Get Thousands Crowded the Exhibit at the Show A Good Look at the Essex ft'- frnu 3flV rA sS?:'!?''1! &&v KfiKi 1 ?t &H 9i " M ll i- " 1?,'' irjnu ' I OVj L m On every tongue at the Automobile Show last week there was but one word concerning the most interesting exhibit there it was the Essex. The newspapers mentioned that fact in their news columns. Everyone asked, "Have you seen and ridden in the new Essex?" And practically everyone replied, "I didn't get a good chance, because there were always such crowds about it." So Come to Our Store, Where You Can Both See and Ride in It Here we will have plenty of Essex cars for inspection and for demonstration. Everyone is urged to ride in the Essex. Our plan is to acquaint everyone with its qualities. We let the car do that. The salesmen will not annoy you with their urgings that you buy. The Essex speaks more convincingly than anything we can say. . Here you will have an opportunity to view it without interference from such crowds as surged about it at the show. You can sec how finely it is finished. You can manipulate the levers and know how easily they operate and their convenient locations. You will be able to compare the Essex with other cars you know. You will see how it combines all the advantages that have made the light, cheap car so popular with the qualities that make you proud of it. If You Have a Light Car That You Like And Still Want One That Is Better You will find it in the Essex. It is interesting to note the type of motor car users that are most enthusiastic over the Essex. They are, for the most part, those who own good light cars. They had never been dis satisfied with the cars they own, but when they have seen and ridden in the Essex, they speak of the qualities it possesses that are absent on their cars. That is because the Essex has many things that arc exclusive to large, costly cars. Its performance and its long endurance and the way in which it retains its newness are distinctive qualities. Light, cheap cars, even of the better grades, do not ride so easily. They don't retain their good looks so long, nor remain so free from squeaks and rattles. We Repeat Only What Others Are Saying One famous motor expert, the head of one of the largest gasoline motor manufacturers in the industry, said, "The Essex has the most wonderfully designed motor that has been produced in years." He does not build the Essex motor. He has no interest in its manufacture. He recog nized its new principle that accounts for its great power, lie saw why the Essex is capable of speed that rivals that of large and costlier cars. You had little chance to see these features in yourt hurried examination of the Essex at the show. And We Want You to Ride in the Essex We put it through every test than any car is given to prove easy riding qualities, acceleration and speed. Rough roads, cobble-stone pavements and chuck holes do not bother those who ride in the Essex. You will be able to see how this is accomplished. One man said his light car was all right, but that he had often driven miles out of the way to avoid the rough roads, because the rattles and squeaks made him feel his car would go to pieces. "That one feature in the Essex, even if it possessed no other advantage," he said, "made it the car of his choice." Three Buyers for Every Essex That situation is assured by reports re ceived from all parts of the country. Many dis tributors say their entire allotments for the year are already spoken for. They want more cars. You ask then, why do we advertise. The Essex today dominates motor car interest. We intend that it shall do so throughout the year. The Essex is on the map. It is there to stay by virtue of its exclusive qualities. V GOMERY-SCHWARTZ MOTOR CAR CO. 128-40 NORTH BROAD STREET $1295 P. O. B.
