Notice the Welcome
A Closed Car Just as Popular
As the Touring Model You Know
Given the Essex Sedan
A car-loving public "found" the Esses touring
car and quickly made it known in almost every
town and hamlet.
The same thing is happening now to the Esses
Sedan. 4
Ot course, there are good reasons for those ex
pressions of real affection one hears of every day
for the Essex. Time has revealed the fact that
qualities which appeal are retained even after the
hardest service.
Come and take a ride in this luxurious closed
model people are talking about.
; Vhat They Say
Is a Safe Guide
The touring model is the introductory "brand"
of Essex enjoying a distinctive career.
Now comes this closed model as a representa
tive of our ideas in liveliness and luxury.
People talk about both with equal pride. Be
guided by what they say.
Notice how those beautiful square lines dis
tinguish the' Essex Sedan. It exclusive finish
gives it a select and popular ownership.
Plenty of room inside those wide opening doors
for such a small and handy car. Deft execution
of ideas in upholstery art makes it cozy, too. The
liberal allotment of spacious comfort would sur
prise you were you to take a ride.
Rich appearance stamps the Sedan as worthy
of the road. It glides along smoothly as a model
unit of compactness. Note yourself how it at
tracts attention on the highways. Hear what
people are saying about its performance.
Merits of the Sedan
Should Please You
Essex wide range of qualities brings out inter
esting discussions and comparisons. Owners
boast of their good , judgment in choosing the)
Essex because of the appreciable economic main
tenance features in its favor.
Moderate in first cost, there, Is in the Essex
that exclusive degree of elegance which has given s
it prestige. ' '
Noticeable freedom from jolts over rough roads '
is due to the rigid Essex chassis and substantia
assembly.
Perfect acceleration gives the driver a winning
confidence when desirous of heading heavy city
motor traffic. Just you notice how the Essex
takes the lead. It "gets away." ' v
, Essex "grit" finds right-of-way anywhere.
Another general comment about it b that It
matches up with those expensive and powerful
cars the best on the road. s .
It is making history in speed, hill-climbing and
useful performances. It keeps on "speaking for
itself under all sorts of road conditions.
Close to one thousand Sedans have been sold.
There is a big demand. Orders are keeping far
ahead of production, the factory tells us.. It is
advisable, therefore, to place your order with
out delay
