In Winnetka, on Hawthorne lane, + a_Winnetka man and his wife have found a way to overcome all of the difficulties that have been worrying people in Evanston and all the north shore towns.

And when you add to that, the enthusiastic en- dorsements of thousands of motor-wise individuals the proof should be conclusive. But the Essex has still another way of showing its value. You Can Test It Yourself Performance limitations have naturally grouped cars into classes. Certain cars may be depended upon for unlimited service. They know no frontiers of distance. They are dependable and require practically no attention. But such cars are large and costly, costly to buy and to operate. . An exception is the Essex. Its performance qualities can be demonstrated at any time. ' Take a ride with us to see how it can be driven just as easily, as fast and with as much certainty of endurance as any high-priced car with which you care to compare it. Moderate Cost Due to Smaller Size If the Essex were as large as the cars whose per- Xormance it matches, the price would have to be as igh. But because it has no useless length or useless weight, costly car quality in every detail is possible with proportionate saving in cost. the performance is just as satisfactory. It is because of these qualities that the Essex is praised as it is. : Its Worth Is Shown In Service Not Price The strongest Essex boosters are those who have driven their cars the hardest. It is so easy to handle--so lively and so comfort- able that there is pleasure rather than work in driving it. You may be undecided between the Essex and some other car of similar weight and price. The two cars look bright and attractive on the sales floor. The demonstration will give the Essex an ad- vantage that everyone is glad te describe. Then the thing for you to decide is how those two cars will compare after several months of service. For answer, note the Essex cars in your neigh- borhood. Take a ride in one whose speedometer registers long service. Look out for performance. See if it still has the power to do the things it did when new. Is it quiet and rigid and in good condition? Every Essex makes new friends. It is what they are saying that is increasing the demand so much. You should speak for your car without delay. LOUIS J.
