Now Note This
' ' ... ' ' (' " "
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. , -

CLEVER little capes,
reaching only to the
elbows are the latest ar
rivals in the Fur Room.
Made entirely of Hudson
seal or trimmed with
natural squirrel, they
have large; rolling collars
that are most becoming
and a swagger little flare
in back that makes them
extremely smart when
worn with the straight
lined Autumn tailleurs.
THESE severely plain,
roundnecklinea are
usually trying unless
sdme diverting trinket is
added. And since we
may not all own diamond
and platinum pins the
new rhinestone bar pins
are next best. . Designed
with as great an artistry
as the finer ones, in dain
ty filigree patterns in a
setting of silyerite, they
are inexpensive, charm
ing and in perfect taste.
INDIAN pottery surely
supplied the motif in
which one of the new
blouses is embroidered.
To the blouse proper of
navy Georgette, a panel
is attached at the shoul
der, forming an apron
effect at the hem. This
panel is so closely em
broidered as to seem
woven, in finely blended
shades of henna peach,
cream and bluish green.
Bandings of embroidery
edge the collar which ex
tends across the back,
and the loose three-quarter
sleeves.

medium between the, conventional and bizarre
