The New ESSEX

Built by Hudson

A 30 Minute Ride Will Win You

It is an easy way to tell if the new Essex gives greater value than was ever-before provided at this price.

Take a ride. It has answered the `question` for thousands, No car we ever introduced has had such a reception. It is drawing bigger crowds. It Is selling faster. Every-one is talking about it.

Priced much lower, the new Essex provides a larger, handsomer body, with even greater passenger comfort than the former Essex.

And its 6-cylinder motor, ballt by Hudson, gives the smoothness of performance for which the Super- Six is famous,

flas Qualities of Both Hudson & the Former Essex

In all that counts for long, Ratisfactory Bervice at low coat the now Essex combines the most suitable details from both.

See how handling is simpli- iod. All controls are oney, simple and sura in opora- tion. Steering is as easy as guiding a bicyclo. Ita motor flexibility makos grar shifting almost ery, except in starting. Note how comfortably and safely it holds oven the

roughest roads at all spoeds. Caroline, oil and tire mi- longo are excoptional. A further entinfaction is the low cost at which all ro- nlacemont parts are sold. In avory respect the New Essex moots the require- ments of dependable, com- fortable transportation, froo of burdensome expense. A ride will give you a con- viction of goodness and quality, such as you novor expected in a car of its price.
