The Englishman said: '"Herd's to Great Britain, the sun that givea light -.o all the nation of the earth."

lote How the Essex

In Speed, Hill Climbing, Comfort and Reliability It Has Won 10,000 Owners

Proves Endurance

The 10,000 Essex cars already in service have been so distributed that every community now knows their distinctive performance. Here for instance are people who have had wide motor car experience. They will tell you how thej tsteem the Essex. Its economy of operation and the fact that practically no attention is required to keep it in prime operation appeals to ali. As For Itc Performance If you haven't ridden in the Essex take the first opportunity to do so. Come to us and we will give you the same kind of demonstration that has caused thousands to acknowledge Essex supremacy. Watch the way in which Essex cars perform on the road. If it is at a street crossing when traffic is signaled to go ahead, observe "ow quickly the Essex jumps to the lead. The only car that beats it is another Essex with a better driver. a If you are on a narrow country road where an Essex signals its intention to pass another car, you will see how easy with its acceleration it can jump to the lead. And It Will Do That Whenever Called Ozi Essx performance is acknowledged' by everyone. No one classes it with any but the

largest and more costly cars- never with cars of its weight or price class. Now that thousands of Essex cars have been driven more miles than is usually rolled up in a season by the average automobile, owners are realizing Essex endurance. That is why they tell you about the small upkeep expense of the Essex. They tell you about the way in which it retains its power and wanted qualities even after the hardest service. In every endurance run entered, the Essex has made perfect scores. Such la the Car You Should Have It gives dependable service. It is the new day car, the type to which all moderate priced cars must come, for in addition to light weight and low operating cost, men now demand performance, luxury, comfort and endurance. The Essex is easy to drive. It turns in a short radius. It steers easily. It can be parked in spaces too small for the average car. It has many qualities you will like. Ask yourself what car is so modern, what is the type of the future, what light car can match its rrformance. It is exclusive in many particulars and no other car built has all the features of the Essex.

e Among the First

to Drive this Astonishing Post-War Maxwell

TTF you're buying a car this year, why not have tha I most recent thing offered? , Here we have a Post-War Maxwell, developed during the war years, and given to you now, not only a far greater Maxwell, but more advanced even than many cars that twice exceed its price. k It's an engineering treat to look it over; and an event that will linger in ycur memory to ride 5 miles behind the wheel. For a new Lemoine type front axle givea you a castering effect in steering that will surprise you. A heavy rear axle, new, makes you hug any kind of a road. New full oval fenders express the rhythm of motion, and two new types cf brakes bring you to & halt in a very decisive way. The "emergency" is up at the transmission, ts in cc many foreign cars. The "service" is equipped with equalizers and thus any tendenc;' to skid is prevented. Many louvres in the bonnet, a large tank in the rear the number of fine developments seems endless! Also equipped with Hot Spot and Ram's-horn. But it's the same basic chassis as the 300,000 Maxwells that precede this post-war car. How well the public has regarded thes is expressed in the cum of $200,000,000 the price paid by the public for th previous ones. This Post-War Maxwell is a greater car. $5SS lab. Detroit.
