S lilliiliiliiliiliilMliiiniiiiiiii:i::ii;ini:'i Ride in an Essex Sure way to know that this light weight car performs like and has the endurance of larger costly cars. Everyone says so. Then Talk to an Owner rU This is to urge a severe test of Essex per formance. If you haven't had a ride that reveals its power, speed, acceleration, and comfort, come let us take you for such a demonstration. It Has Quality At Low Price Regard the Essex in the light of its perform ance. It isn't fair to think of it merely as a light weight car, when you consider the quality of its materials or what it does. Every owner compares his Essex to the per formance of large costly cars. Haven't you noticed how everyone speaks of Essex performance? And now they include praise of Essex reliability. They tell you how their car calls for no tinkering. Anyone who can handle a wrench can keep the Essex in sweet running condition. Its reliability comes from the sturdiness of its construction. Particular motorists abhor squeaks and rattles. An unusually strong and stiff frame minimizes such possibilities in the Essex. Note How the Essex Was Developed Its motor is not like the motor used in any other car. The Essex is not made up of stock parts available to any assembler. Every item was de signed and is built exclusively for Essex in the plant and by the same type of workmen who pro duce the largest selling fine cars in the world. The' Essex was not developed by a substitution of wew units for an old model as a house is en larged and remodeled. Every detail was designed with relation to its use in the Essex in connection with the type and character of every other detail in the car. Consequently it is properly balanced. Low Operating Cost Fine Car Luxury Americans have willingly paid the cost for per formance and riding luxury for fineness and dis tinction, as found only in larger cars. They ac cepted the high cost for operation and mainte nance. Cars which cost little to operate did not meet their requirements in performance and en durance. They lacked the stamp of refinement and quality they demanded. So they had but two choices the large costly American car or the small and very high priced imported automobile. How well the Essex meets that need is seen by the type of Essex users. Thousands never before operated so small a car, and abroad where the Es sex has also made such headway, owners accept it because it matches in quality and economy of op eration the European cars they had previously used. i The Essex is appreciated greater in those coun tries where gasoline, oil and tires cost the most. Make Reliability Your Standard Essex appeal to pricje is evident at a glance. Its performance is demonstrated in a short ride. En durance and reliability can be appreciated in long service. For that ask an Essex Owner. Remember that the way a car will serve you is not indicated altogether by its weight, size or price. Essex quality at its price is possible only be cause of its size. You do not pay for useless weight And you sacrifice nothing in comfort though you gain much in the lower cost to buy and operate an Essex.
