Sergeant Milton Lyons has return- ed from overseas, and received his honorable discharge. He was with Co. C, 108th Field Signal Corps. From September 6 to October 21 he had full charge of the telephones in the trenches. He was in the hospital at the time the armistice was signed. Captain Henry F. Tenney and Captain James H. Linn have received ESSEX CAR ENJOYS INSTANT POPULARITY ALONG NORTH SHORE Essex cars have taken a hold on the north shore automobile public in a way that has been most gratifying, according to Louis J. Sherland, north shore distributor of this new car, as well as of the Hudson. | Sales of these two makes of auto- | mobiles have continued with a steady increase ever since the motor show, according to Sherland, and in the] 'last week he has disposed of eight | new cars as well as several used ones. | "One of the most notable things about the Essex is the way in which | it has sprung into popularity without a word being said in its praise by the makers," said Sherland. "No extra- vagant claims of any kind were made for the newcomer. The builders were | so confident of its worth that they were entirely ready to leave the final verdict to the public. In this con- | nection the following article printed | in Automobile Topics is interesting: "The Essex is not only a car but a type, that will bear close study. Its | lines are graceful and attractive, its bodywork well put up and comiort- able, while it is equipped in every de- | tail according to the purchaser's re- quirements. "Mechanically it is built along lines of safety, in the Sens that there is nothing experimental about it. On | the other hand, its great winning characteristic is performance. In this it excels many cars of much higher price and more pretentious aspect. = "Hence, in it's introduction, Essex dealers were urged to return to the old system of demonstration before | purchase. There are cars that de-| monstration will not help sell. The Essex is not one of these. Add to this the fact that its appearance 1s enough to pull a good share of at- tention on the prospective buyer's part, and enough has been said to in- dicate that for a newcomer its pros- pects are uncommonly bright.
