The same pubjic discernment which made Essex the world's
largest selling "Six," gives picture-like vividness to thiscars enor
mous excess of value. ' ' , ; .. .. ; .. ' :
It is impressive to know that point for point the Essex Super-Six
r equals or excels any car up to '300 or '400 greater cost. But cold
figures can't express the drama of this Chicago school teacher
who writes: ;:- ':. .' '. ;i -v..
; 'I looked at several costlier cars first, but I liked the . .
' Essex much better in every way, and I saved enough to .
pay almost all expenses of my European trip."
Or this Ohio business man: "My Essex gives me every
fine car quality and performance ability which our former
costlier car gave, and we saved enough to pay for the
" , whole family's touring vacation." '.. .

ovIur tiny, that bane of house
wives forced to plan the. transfer
of their effeetB from one apart
ment to another, has particular sig
nificance in its application to a
great automobile concern.
Approximately 700 machines
weighing upwards of 50,000 pounds
each are the principal "erfects"
which maintenance engineers1 of
the Oakland Motor : Car company
are now moving from the old Onk-
tlo. Seventy flat carloads will bo
moved. ' ... '
This transfer Is in accordance
with company plans to centralize
In
land engine plant, at Pontlac, i mu,lu
Mich., to the new group of Oak-lnnd-Pontiac
buildings on tho edge
of town.
Flat cars are being used for the
transfer. ' Eighty millwrights, elec-!
trtclans, steam fiuers and carpen-l
' WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. .
That the motor car owner may bo
assured of the justice to which he ,
is fully and fairly entitled when tu
court ou a seceding charge, re
sponsible police and court officials
must take it upon themselves to
see that police speedometers are
absolutely cocrect at nil times and
at all speeds. This can bo done by
a thoroughly scientific test of
these instruments at least twice a
tiuoutb.
These points are made in a state
ment today issued from national,
headquarters of ; tbo Aiuerlcau
Automobile association in wnlch it
is declared that u 'liost of motor
ists ha've been uufairiy fined tena
nt thousands of dollars because
"police and court officials do not
realize that the speedomoter is by
no means the accurate instrument
of measurement that It is suppos
ed to be.
"The duty of tho traffic police
man is to protect the public; to
see that no individual imposes up
on the rights of nor -endangers
another," says the statement. "In
virtually every municipality ar
bitrary Bpeed limits have been es
tablished for motor . vehicles and.
in execceding these, the motorist
is assumed to be imposing upon
the rights of other street usera
Determination of the fact that ho
is exceeding the sneed limit, how-
ttever, requites that the motorcycle
ofdeer's speedometer bo entirely
:iccuralo. If it Is not and it can
not be unless it is rigorously and
regularly checked the policeman
is in tho position of Imposing upou
a large part of that public which it
is Ills duty to, protect."
In tnuKiiig its demand for a bi
weekly chock of pollco speeds
meters, the A. A. A. disclaims any
desire to protect I ho car owner
who falls to abide , by the traffic
regulations. No agency, says tho
statement, has been more nctlvu
over a longer period In seeing the .
causo of safety advanced tlirougffl
punishment or the careless, reck-,
less, and indifferent. - -x
On the other hand, It Is pointed'
out, it is impossible to sit silent
while the story of n monumental !
injustice against luw-anming mo
torista is being written by polico
departments which aro slovenly
and casual in checking up on their
equipment. The following inci
dent, typical of scores that have
come to the attention nf thn men
clubs that comprise, tho A. A. A. l
nation-wide chain,' is cited in cor-!
rouorating or tho condition which
demands a remedy:
A. car owner in an eastern city
was arrosted and accused of driv
ing 28 miles an hour In a zone
whore the legal speed limit was. 23
mllos. In Court, " the cur ' 'owueu
testified, that 'he had Boon the5 of
fleer pacing him and that he had
noticed . by: his Own spcedometci
that he was traveling at ,19 miles
an hour, well within tho proscrib
ed limit. His attorney demanded
a chock of tho officer's specdo-

WILLYS;OVERIAND HISTORY
The Impressive forward march of Willys-Overland continues uninterrupted!
Following the most successful six-month period in Willys-Overland's 20-year ,
history, with sales exceeding those for the entire year 1927, came July with
tremendously increased sales ovejr any previous July. 100 more Whippet
and Willys-Knight cars were purchased than during July of last year, -j.
This success is not surprising. Whippet Fours and Sixes and the three
great Willys-Knight !ixes offer a degree of comfort, safety and
economy never previously available at such extremely low prices.
Orders now accepted for prompt delivery. .
