More Facts and Figures Not long ago, a modem house cost about $5000. Today you would pay $10,000 for that home just twice as much. A little while ago, the every day potato cost 14c a quarter of a peck. A week ago the price of potatoes was 40c a quarter of a peck about three times more than formerly. Yet- A Merchant Tailor who, before the war, asked $50 for a madc-to-measuro suit, though he asks $100 today and so on up the linejust twice as much he docs not make as much profit as in pre-war days. Yet unthinking men and women mil at the high price of clothing and hold indignation meetings. Why not go without houses and potatoes since they cost so much more than formerly? The Merchant Tailors3 Exchange of Philadelphia ,zTxwivj&'r llHIHliillHHIIIIHIIMl Do You Know the Secret of Essex Leadership? It is the New Light Type With Big Car Ability. Can Any Light Car Rival Its Speed, Power or Endurance ? s Lightness today is an 'overwhelming ad vantage in a motor car, provided it means, no forfeit of fine performance, endurance or distinctive appearance. Yet, prior to the Essex, what car combined all these qualities? There were light cars to be sure. But none to meet the requirements of those who exact the highest standards of ability, comfort and good looks. Had such a type existed, Essex could not have won such swift dominance. It could have set no world's selling record as it did, with a greater total paid for Essex than for any car ever brought out in its first year. The very suddenness of its success shows how its qualities commandeered attention. For men are not quick to buy a car that time has not proved. And the Essex came unknown. Merit was its only advocate for recognition. Its quality was instantly obvious. In looks, in action, its appeal was dynamic. And it drew imme diate response from all classes of motor users. They found ability, speed and power be fore believed impossible in a light car. Almost Doubles Light Car Endurance Now see how Essex has justified all the fine things that have been said in its praise. An Essex stock chassis set the official world's 50-hour endurance record of 3,037 miles. In three tests it traveled 5,870 miles, averaging above a mile a minute. An Essex stock tour ing car also holds the world's 24-hour road record of 1,061 miles. To those who had owned light cars, the Essex was a revelation. It gave them a new sensation of stability and power. They found charm of appearance, riding ease and pride of ownership that comes from possession of a car they know none can surpass in performance. People accustomed to fine car qualities rec ognized in the light Essex all the perform ance, comfort and good looks that formerly were regarded exclusive to large, costly cars. The Dominant Light Car By Official Proof And with it Essex brings every advantage of the light type. These compel considera tion. They consist not only of important economies, but of greater handling ease, safety and convenience. Parking for large cars is becoming an increasingly difficult problem. So, too, is their manipulation in heavy traffic. The light car clearly shows its value in greater nimbleness. The com mon sense facts prove it from every angle, the type for all-round usefulness. Before the Essex, not much was expected of a light car in the way of distinctive per formance. Economy was the chief appeal. Great speed and power were considered exclusive costly car qualities. See What Unexpected Qualities It Adds For that reason it is not unusual to hear the Essex described as a big, high-priced car. That, of course, is not true. But it is the im pression registered by a ride in it. Neither in performance nor appearance is it compar able to the lightweight cars you may have known. You have surely heard owners say how it equals and often excels in speed, smooth riding and hill-climbing the fine, rostly cars noted for those qualities. Perhaps you know the Essex more inti mately. Who can escape noting its ever increasing popularity? On every highway and especially when reliability is demanded, as in touring, Essex has forced its way to leadership in numbers through sheer leader ship in performance. When you know its appeal you will scarcely be content to drive another car. Gomery-Schwartz Motor Car Co. 128-140 N. Broad St., Philadelphia, Pa.
