a ball game by his plays, and I'm
not so sure he won't hit as hard as

a boxing stag and presented him
self far the usual passes.
"That racket don't go here. Lay

Essex Coach $1345
F.O.B.
Detroit
To See It is to Want It
The Price Makes It Easy
All want such advantages as the Essex Coach combines,
They were beyond most pockets in the past.
This new type gives them in full measure at little
more than the cost of the open models.
Is it any wonder the Coach met such instant success?
Or that its first welcome has steadily grown?
Prior to the Essex Coach, consider what a buyer could
get around $1400. He had the choice of a closed car
without distinction and little performance ability. If he
wanted better performance he had no choice at that
price except an open car.
The Coach now couples the beauty, comfort and luxury ,
of an unusually fine closed body, with the exceptional
reliability and performance of the well -proved Essex
chassis. But it does not mean greatly added price.
And it continues the savings of its first cost in its econ
omy, of fuel, oil and tires, as well as small cost of upkeep.
Come see the Coach. You will surely want it. Price is
now no bar to owning the fine quality, performance and
distinction that heretofore cost more than most men
wanted to pay.
