For instance, every one destroy riding enjoyment. Phipps, Cox & Winterson, Ammapolis, Md. ¥. Bond Boarman, Belalr, Md. Queen City Garage, Cumberiand, Md. tapseo Garage, Ellieott {arbaugh Aunts knows how squeaking springs and body rattles Light cars have not alone been at fault in that respect. “Drove 20,354 Miles in 7 Months” Gas consumption averaged 19 miles to the gallon. Twenty-five gallons of oil were used. No repairs whatever were made during this period, and the engine was not cleaned until approxi- mately 12,000 miles had been covered. “I have driven cars for the last 6 or 7 years. Cars, with me, have to do ex- ceptionally heavy service, and this year will be the first I have ever used the same car for the second season, as I am doing with my Essex. “My work as a_traveling salesman necessitates_ covering four Canadian provinces. Part of my way lies through the Metepedia Valley; the roads are so narrow that it is necessary before start- ing to remove the windshield and top and to bandage the body and mud- guards with heavy cotton in order to keep the finish from heing destroyed by the branches and bushes at sides of the roads. “Naturally it would be hard to sell me anything but an Essex in the future —not only for endurance, but for get- away, “pep” and all-around perform- ance.’ P. E. GUAY, Sherbrooke, Quebec. But Essex has minimized squeaking bodies by a frame so designed that it does not weave. It has a load capacity that with one exception is greater than that of any other car. 7 That is why an Essex rides over rutty roads and cob- blestones with a smoothness and freedom from noise en- tirely unexpected in a car of its-size and price. Tt is why Essex gives a feeling of rigid solidness to the passenger at any speed and over any road surface. Throughout the Essex you will find other details not so apparent in casual observation. Their advantages are not noted when comparson is made with new cars. But when Essex has had a season’s use and'the advantages of its design and construction become more evident own- ers grow more and more enthusiastic. Time serves to show many superiorities in the Essex. It is then that its difference as a moderate priced light car becomes so notable. Choose your car for what it will be after a year’s service.
