AUTOMOBILES

Oct. 29, 1919. Dear Sir —That an automobile w’lth the beauty, oomfort and high quality of the Essex could be built at so moderate a price 'has caused almost as much wonderment as has Its marvelous performance. ? Many, Indeed, refused to believe that only the finest materials and workmanship were used In tne Eesex until after they had Investigated every detail for themselves. And they were right, for were the Essex built by an ordinary automobile manufacturer ft would cost several hundred dollars more than It does. \ The reason that the price of the Essex is so moderate In comparison to the quality inherent In the car, Is - that it is produced by one of the strongest organizations in the automobile industry. Although a new car to the public, It Is the life achievement of some of the most notable engineers in America. Every detail is the result of years of experience In building successful automobiles. Also, In marketing the Essex, it was not necessary to spend the usual vast sums of money needed to build up a distributing organization • such as would have been necessary had not the high standing of the Essex Motors already been established- With' the Essex, an organization of the highest caliber stood ready to take all of the cars that could be produced. in fact, the total output of the factory was sold months ago. These are just a few of the reasons why you cannot afford not to Investigate the Essex for yourself. Will you not at least come and take a ride with us? Just a call will bring the Essex to your door. Yours very truly, HUGH KIRK.
