AUTOMOBILES

Oct. t 5, 1919. Dear Sir: The Essex was designed by men who know how. To the average 'person, design means nothing. They buy an au-« tomoblle because of its beauty, comfort or performance, regardless of bow these qualities are obtained.

But to the motor-wise critic, desig®/ is everything, as therein lies the secret of long life, ease of operation and perfect satisfaction. Clever design has enabled the Essex engineers to reduce upkeep expense to a minimum by eliminating useless weight and superfluous, trouble-making parts. The Essex holds the road, It does not skid easily and, . despite Its wionderful flow of power, it is safe to drive under any and all conditions. • In the Essex the designers have produced a car of extremely high quality standards, In which is combined beauty of line, utility in use and the utmost luxury. Thousands of enthusiastic owners already are getting miles of satisfaction out of the daily, uniqterruipted use of the Essex. Why not try it for yourself? Yours very truly, HUGH KIRK.
