COMPARISON

is the food of love. Everything is ! judged by comparison to something else. That’s how you buy a home; that’s why you don’t drink coal oil; that’s why you married your present sparring partner. She looked the best (at that time). Everybody wants the best. That’s why they all look around. They are comparing. In all the world there’s nothing to compare with the Essex. That’s why you’ll love it. On the other hand, if you must have comparison, stop a Monroe beside a Marmon. Axles, springs, radiator, body and whatnot are similar. * Looks like a throuoghbred with its young. Those who like fours, biggers than 4rds, will find their affinity in one of these little cars.
