'X V .N$ NSsNvV $ Do You Know B J JL Essex success has not been accidental. No one doubts its right to the position it holds. On the Cincinnati Speedway a stock chassis Essex set the world 50-hour endurance mark, of 3037 miles, under American Automobile Association supervision. Another stock Essex holds the unequalled 24-hour road mark of 1061 miles. But how many know why Essex in its first year revealed qualities more mature, more evident, of the influence of long experience, than is commonly found in cars even in their third and fourth year. You will recall the Essex was announced one year ago without one word as to the identity of its builders. Not a claim was made for its performance. You were asked to go look at it, take a ride and form your own opinion. The Essex, we said, would have to speak for itself. Now that it has established itself, we reveal wiry Essex has all the qualities of cars of long de velopment. Was Designed by Hudson Engineers They conceived it as they developed the Super-Six.. All they learned about endurance, they incorporated in the Essex. They gave to the Essex the power that has made it famous in all quarters. Its speed is the result of what had been learned in making the Super-Six winner of all worth while speed records. The Essex can never be all that the Super-Six is for they are totally different types. V lenf, the youtlifulvv inner of the pocket billiard honors.

The great majority of Stutz cars arc entire strangers to the repair shop. When service is needed, however, it is rendered in a manner befitting Stutz reputation and character. S. R. BLOCKSOM MOTOR CO. 667-9 N. BROAD ST. That Hudson the Essex? But the Essex does bring quality and performance? to a class field that was unknown. The former owjiers of large costly cars that have adopted the Essex have not been Hudson users. They have come from other cars, cars that fall short of the Super-Six in all particulars save size and cost. The Essex appeals to such users because of it3 nimbleness. They like the way its performance com pares with that of the Super-Six. You can see this on every hand. The two cars in any community that are most prominent because of their performance ability are the Hudson Super-Six and the Essex. Essex Did Not Need Hudson's Endorsement Think of the advantages Essex has had. What! ordinarily would have required years to perfect was" made possible in the very first model. That is why 20,000 are now running, why more than $30,000,000.00 was paid for Essex cars in ten months. You have not needed the Hudson endorsement to understand Essex performance. Essex has won its own way. Hudson gave it full benefit of the experience of its engineers and the ability of its manufacturing organization. Its name was not needed. Now Hudson takes the same pride in acknowledg ing its kinship to Essex that a father might in speak ing of his son who on his own account had made good, DELIVERIES ftoss Wins In Australia Melbourne.
