AN UNPARALLELED ACHIEVEMENT.

A year ago there was no Essex. There were several new test cars doing stunts in different parts of the country, which everybody knew belonged to the Hudson people—but that was all they knew. For two years there were signs of a new Hudson, but while the full design was being perfected, the output and manufacturing equipment was still on paper. Not until January 15 was the Essex put on the market. Since then 12,000 cars have found enthusiastic owners. Never before has any car made so many friends in sb short a time. Its leadership was quickly and decisively‘ established. Never has it been questioned. Other manufacturers admit they will follow the Essex design. The S. A. £. devoted a whole season on it. - Many laboratories have tested the motor for mere curiosity. Most every hill and accelleration record has been smashed. When you can take this little car and out-perform cars costing twice as much, I say the Essex is not the coming car—it is the car of today. The wonder is it sells below $2,000. For the dealer who tells you he has a car just as good as the Essex I have a few things to show.—Hugh Kirk.
