Greater in power, more versatile in all performance, large, roomier and more beautifully appointed, it gloriously earns its richer reward in even greater $700 popularity than its predecessor. 835 735 735 835 converts heat wasted in other typesto useful power, but does it on ordinary gasoline with no need for special, higher-priced fuels. Whether idlingat a crawl, flashing through traffic, spurting at top speed or doing a comfortable 50 miles an hour all day long, its outstanding charac- teristic is ease, smoothness and complete absence of effort in every requirement. In Essex, as in Hudson, the new, exclusive, high- compression motor that turns waste to power, de- velops the greatest power per cubic incfi of piston displacement of any stock motor we know in the world. It develops it at all speeds, smeothly. And it develops it economically, because it not only In all ways the new Essex Super-Six is engineered to the lowest operation and maintenance costs. And increasing thousands of owners rolling up thou- sands of miles of service prove that these qualities which delight you on your first ride are just as lasting as they are brilliant. 3 Your Essex Super-Six is waiting for that]ride.
