Its 3037 miles in 50 hours is a world endurance record. The test was official. Supervivors of the A. A. A. certified the Essex stock chassis in every detail. Never before was a car driven at top speed for 50 hours. The grind was equal to years of road use. Yet the Essex showed no measurable wear. What car, the Essex size and weight, can even attain a mile-a-minute speed, much less keep it up for 50 hours? Such Endurance as You Want in Your Car These decisive tests proved Essex not only the supreme performer of the light car field, but they showed that the mod erate priced, economical Essex has such endurance and dependability as few large, high priced cars offer. Greater size could add nothing to Es sex. It has the qualities, weight and size are built to give—riding comfort, solidness, distinction and smooth, quiet pace. But in addition it has fuel, oil and tire economy. And its great durability means freedom from repair costs and positive dependable transportation. Essex is easy to operate. Driving does not fatigue. Its quick response to the lightest touch and its smooth, restful comfort in motion, account for this. That is why so many women are Es sex owners. They appreciate its safety, too. Its controls are simple and instan taneous It makes fast time, with se curity, even in difficult traffic. Essex Wins On Quality Minus Useless Weight Essex won recognition on the issue of finest quality without useless weight and size. That issue is uppermost to day. You will take pride in your Essex from the first. Its beauty, luxurious fit tings and its performance gives it dis tinction everywhere. And time will in crease your respect for it. You will come to rely absolutely on its depend ability. You will find it always ready for any demands you may make. These are reasons why Essex set a world’s sales record in its first year. And orders are now so far ahead it is certain even that unrivaled mark will be surpassed this year. Thousands, realizing this, are placing their orders now.
