' ' (' " " Owners Reflect a Definite Joy in its Operation that is Unusual and Distinct Quality Essex You have observed that owners are' unusually proud of the Esse. They manifest it in their speech, their driving and 'the particular way in which they care, for their car. , ; Such enthusiasm is natural to all who ' know it You catch some of its influence if you. watch the Essex and the owner in action. Note Their Joy As They Drive People drive the Essex with evident joy. The buoyancy of its response to the throttle is distinctive. , Haven't you noticed how Essex drivers seem to fit in with Jhe action of the car? They are alert and confident. The Essex responds totevery whim of the driver. It glides as smoothly as a canoe drifting' down stream or rushes silently by1 with the speed-and freedom of a bird. - It is a. quality that accounts for motor ng pleasure. . ' '' '.'!. . All cars run. no one questions that. Most of them travel fast enough. But there is a difference in the way they run. The Essex is speedy without offering protest in icund of effort. Do They Analyze the. Causes? - Certainly most owners do not examine the causes which account for Essex per formance. ' When they tell you of its buoyancy they do not, as a rule, explain that light weight, a powerful motor and a rigid frame, all careruuy balanced, is the explanation. Nor do they mention mechanical con struction when they tell you how eaav it i to drive the Essex, or how comfortably it noes. , 1 . . '. . They Accept it as They Do its Performance " . r ) t Of course We know why. the Essex is giving such satisfaction. It is a new type. s V. Because of its lightness as well as dura bility, its .economy and at the same time performance, men accept it as it was de signed to be, the car of tomorrow, the em bodiment of all that is desirable in both the light weight car and the largev costly automobile. It meets all service needs as owners of large, costly cars have learned to know those qualities. Yet it is moderately priced, and the operating cost is comparable to that of light cars. The Essex has proved that performance, durability, moderate cost and economy of operation may all be found in one car. The Essex calls for little attention. It is free from many annoyances that interfere with the pleasure of motirng. It is because the Essex meebi every motoring need with out requiring much attention to keep it in running condition, that people speak of it as they do. , - GUY L.SMITH fMfcS-T rasiiutrSmt sxRvtct nasi-1 PMAHA,,.UA; i Phonc Oouslsi tin A column of store ncs c scripiive of various things lvhich are either ne, unusual or merely very beautiful CLEVER little capes, reaching only to the elbows are the latest ar rivals in the Fur Room.
