Light Car Endurance
Essex Has Performance Like the Costliest Fine Cars
Its World Endurance Record Has Never Been Rivaled
The most important thing Essex has
proved is that weight and size are no
longer necessary to finest car quality.
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. We advise that you
do the same, to avoid disappointment.
Neil P. Brennan, O’Neill, Nebr.
