The 10,000 Essex cars already in service have
been so distributed that every community
now knows their distinctive performance.
Here for instance are people who have had
wide motor car experience. They will tell
you how they esteem the Esses. Its economy
of operation and the fact that practically no
attention is required to keep it in prime
operation appeals to all.
As For Ita
Performance
If you haven't ridden in the Essex take the
first opportunity to do. so.
Come to us and we will give you the same kind
of demonstration that has caused thousands
to acknowledge Essex supremacy. Watch the
way in which Essex cars perform on the road.
If it is at a street crossing when traffic is
signaled to go ahead, observe how quickly the
Essex jumps to the lead. The only car that
beats it is another Essex with a better driver.
If you are on a narrow country road where
an Essex signals its intention to pass another
car, you will see how easy with its accelera
tion it can jump to the lead.
And It Will Do That
Whenever Called On
Essex
everyone.
performance is acknowledged by
No one classes it with .any but the
largest and more costly cars never with cars
of its weight or price class.
Now that thousands of Essex cars have
been driven more miles than is usually rolled
up in a season by the average automobile,
owners are realizing Essex endurance.
That is why they tell you about the small
upkeep expense of the Essex. They tell you
about the way in which it retains its power
and wanted qualities even after the hardest
service. In every endurance run entered, the
Essex has made perfect scores.
Such Is the Car You
Should Have
It gives dependable service. It is the
new day car, the type to which all moderate
priced cars must come, for in addition to
light weight and low operating cost, men now
demand performance, luxury, comfort and
endurance. The Essex is easy to drive. It
turns in a short radius. It steers easily. It
can be parked in spaces too small for the
average car. It has many qualities you wul
like.
Ask yourself what car is so modern, what is
the type of the future, what light car can
match its performance. It is exclusive in
many particulars and no other car built has all
the features of the Essex.
